Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Actually, I'm not really sure if I'm making any sense to myself at the moment. Might have stayed up for a bit too long. I just had a look at my own latest wooden sculpt and realized I sculpted it in myself :p What I meant though, is that when taking a look at a lot of photos of wood, which would be used as a base for the… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Updates ahoy! Managed to finally get an hour or so tonight to get stuck in with the texturing on this :) Still having a little trouble getting the right feel for the grip, but I will keep working on it. WIP Diffuse, Normal, Specular, Gloss, baked + nDo2 AO and Alpha WIP Diffuse, Normal, Specular, Gloss Comments and… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
@thinkinmonkey, Cheers! :) I use xNormal almost exclusively for all my baking as the CUDA rendering is super fast :) The only thing I ever render out of Blender are the base colour diffuse maps, but its mainly a speed issue. -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
wow, after seeing the high poly of the barb and bat, i really didnt think it would look good as a finished game asset.. but you did an awesome job getting that info baked out! looking forward to the diffuse : D! -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Thanks! Yea, there are a few schools of thought on sculpting these kind of details. I usually stick to adding this kind of stuff with a Normal map, but I thought I would try sculpting it for once, as I will have plenty of texture space to capture all the details. :) I'm not sure what you mean by the Alpha part and the… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
It's looking great Andy! Just one thing though, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I never quite saw the point of adding in wood-grain and such details (except from perhaps on rougher and more noisy stone-materials etc.) in the actual sculpt. Now, this would depend on how one texture it I suppose. But, seeing as you use an… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
More updates! :D I decided to go the whole hog and optimise this to a more reasonable level. I chopped it down by 750 tris to a grand total of 2909 (previously it was 3659). I didn't get any time to do any texturing tonight because I had to manually realign the new UVs with the old ones and rebake the normal map to match… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Hey guys! Long time no post ;) I somehow missed the notification emails again, so this reply is a little late. @Stromberg90, Thanks, man! :) I optimised it a little but didn't bother with the part you circled as I liked the silhouette and it really wasn't that many tris, considering this is for fun/folio. The edge loops on… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Thanks for the comments! :) Thanks :) I need to play around with the handle some more...I will try and get some done on it tonight if I can and tweak the spec on the wood a little too. Cheers, man! :) Is it the specular strength that you think is wrong or the gloss? Thanks for the crit! :) Yea the AO is really light on the…
