Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Heya Polycounters I've embarked on a quest to finish a dreadnought for my 3D course. It is supposed to be a show of my skills I've learned this semester. It will be normal mapped and have a diffuse, specular and gloss map. I will particularily pay attention to the texture, as that has been the major letdown of my latest… -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Razgriz, I'm a student to so what you are pointing out there is an interesting thing. The reason why mr gelmir and also myself tried this approach is that when you make your model, for game purpose, you don't know if you'll have to model everything in high poly. For example, why spend precious time on modeling a small part… -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
only part of the normals are created trough nDo, basic shapes are baked from highpoly. I know it's better to do highpoly most of the time, but I had to try =p anyways, I'm still workign on the texture, and showing you guys the arms in all their untextured glory. I know it's a bit light in some places, still working on the… -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Yeah, I'm kindof all over the place, I have a chaotic mind. I was trying something different here, starting with the lowpoly, but keep it as much quad as possible, then make a copy of that, optimise one and make the other my highpoly, then bake. I picked up that approach from someone I know, and it seemed fun to try. It… -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Cool so far. Seems you are a tad all over the place. Generally a work flow goes... High Low Unwrap Cast Texture So you are doing lowpoly? Never saw the high. -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Okay, I'm back What I have done up untill now is baking the dread and adding some minor details in the normalmap. Here's the lowpoly body as it stands. and here one without the wires to show you the normalmap This is only the nomalmap and a rudimentary ao (will do a better one once I start on the texture) Currently I'm… -

OH c`mon!! :P -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
Oh, I'm sorry, totally forgot about that. It is a wahammer 40k dreadnought. A walker-tank that can carry a wide array of weaponry. Here is one of the pictures I use for reference. It is also available as a miniature for a board game called 'warhammer 40k'. I own one of these miniatures and also use it as reference. -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
mmm doughnought... oh shoot... Well, looks pretty good for not being a doughnought. -
Re: Mr Gelmir makes a dreadnought
I've just started texturing this thing. As textures were my weak point on my previous model, I'm determined to spend more time on it and to learn, so I'm open to suggestion. I'm going for a weathered metal with chipped paint for the main body. I've followed this tutorial a bit. This is what I've come up with in one evening…
