Re: WIP M60 machine gun
In one form the lightmap could serve as that. The lightmap is an unwrap, independent to the diffuse that serves to hold b/w information which get's applied (I believe it get's "multiplied") to the diffuse. That b/w information comes from the lighting setup. If you run an AO light setup, you would get AO, but if you put it… -
Re: WIP M60 machine gun
First off, not a bad model. Keep improving though. Secondly. What's your end purpose with this project? An UDK project or what? I didn't find a certain answer in your replies. Concerning your UV layout there are many areas your could optimize that seem to be using similar texture details. You do this by "stacking"… -
