reactor core.
Hi, this is an enviro piece I created based on this pretty cool concept: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ETQycu3Nk4/Tte03ggjwfI/AAAAAAAABWc/11pgvJ8SSsM/s1600/reactor-core2.jpg It is 10k polys. 2k normal/spec/diffuse/gloss. Something about it looks off to me and I can't place my finger on it. Anyways, any general critique'd be… -

Hell normally when I post on here I get a total of 0 feedback so it's especially appreciated that it's coming from a industry pro! -
Re: reactor core.
you are correct about the lack of spec variety, while i wasnt attempting to be super faithful to the concept that is one detail that got lost in my execution, i think i'll have to play with some of the spec/gloss levels to make them more dynamic. but yea one the whole concept's wayyyy cleaner than what i have, i was just… -
Re: reactor core.
why thank you! and yea i though it would look a bit more dramatic with some light spills so i took that liberty with it :) -
Re: reactor core.
You might want to try introducing a gloss map to help better differentiate between materials. Metal can be very diverse and a good gloss map can really help sell that notion. Right now the whole object just feels like its has the same surface texture everywhere. Some of it looks like its supposed be painted metal, wet,… -
Re: reactor core.
I'd need to see your texture sheet before making any recommendations. But everything just looks..flat and like Tin, really. Anyways these were done over a year ago and I do metal differently now..and I think better and less harsh. But this is what my spec looked like.. As far as diffuse, I had to push hard on the colors… -
Re: reactor core.
I see what you are saying. I intentionally made my diff deconstrated and flat because I wanted most of the detail to take place on the spec channel, but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped haha. I'll try to make my diffuse more dynamic as well. Thanks for your feedback! -
Re: reactor core.
Hmmn, Ok you have a lot more contrast in your spec map than I do, and I think that made mine looks really blown out. I've been playing around with the spec vs. diffuse today, for the upper part, attempting to make it looks more dynamic, as well as more readable since there was some noisiness in it I wasn't thrilled about.… -
Re: reactor core.
Hey Count. This piece is done for Resistance 3 and I was actually the one who did the piece! IF you are interested you can compare my version from yours here. http://octomann.com/resistance3_two.html Your version seems a bit stubby and what looks weird is that your version looks like Earthly silverish metal. When in fact… -
Re: reactor core.
on your version almost all surfaces have same level of glossiness and specularity while on concept there's more diversity. for example on the concept those tubes look like shiny chrome while some plates look more matte. also, while concept looks kinda unfinished, it has some traces of trims that your version doesn't have.…
