Re: What are you working on? 2014 Edition
canvas textures looks nice, but colors came out quite different, too saturated in some places. Zorn was master of limited palette and this one looks like painted with 4 pigments: cadmium red, yellow ochre, ivory black and white. I personally would use only those swatches for painting and avoid adding any more colors from… -
Re: Script/plugin for max similar to modo deformer falloff?
I'm really confused about this thread. CompanionCube's answer is exactly what I'd give. I see noting in the images that isn't accomplished very simply with Soft Selection. If my understanding of your last post is correct regarding FFD, you can accomplish that with this method: Apply a Poly Select Modifier, select the… -
Re: How would I create this effect?
Difference clouds? You could try, but you'll be much better off just painting it. How do you paint any other textures? Look for pertinent details, list them, then try to paint them in. It's got hollows and little chips, large scale soft hue variation from the stone and some white areas where it's chalkier/chipped. Block in… -
Re: Sci-Fi Crate model
It's a good start, I dig the symbols and the way you have the little LEDs on there. The color doesn't bug me, but I second the opinion that the specular needs some work. Overall I feel like the hard edges are way too soft in some areas, especially where it's got that visible damage on the front section in the center. It… -
Re: First Hand Painted Model (WIP)
Thanks guys, I am deciding to go with a grey stone, why? because I want to make a medieval scene kinda of like torchlight. Not the best picture, but I want a mossy grayish dungeon kind of texture. Thats why I originally picked gray. I am still having trouble I think with light highlights, what I do is use a hard brush and… -
Re: Big Sandwich Games Art test
ok, I baked it and it looked really good from the top. but as you can see, on the bottom, along my uv seams, there is a nasty shading artifact, I tried all combinations of hard/soft edges before and after bake, and I still cant figure it out. all edges are soft, and the edges on the other side of the model, which are on a… -
Re: war krieger fireBall WIP
Why on earth would I need to see a wire frame of your high poly unless there are errors and we are trying to help you fix things. While there are good "parts" of the high poly I would say that model isn't really great to make a normal map from. Your high poly looks soft and mushy and has some sharp edges and some soft. It… -
Re: Alphas with normal maps and lighting
if all you've got and want is an alpha map, try just using masked material type it isn't soft (so any sort of soft edge/translucent materials you want will be eternal fail) but for stuff like cage mesh etc it would be fine. Masked lights fine and generally is a bit cheaper than translucent materials anyway. PixelMasher,… -
Re: Iciban's Sketchbook
I like how consistent the rendering is. The soft, local 'omnis' also work well. I'd consider putting more light emphasis on the top of the weapon, the tip of the sword. Also, don't apply light where it's dark, and then overlay it with black gradient. If you look at the hilt, the highlights along each red band should fade… -
Re: Does Ue4 support Area Lights?
Yep. Source radius can be used to make the specular highlights look like how they would look when they are created by an area light. Also, when mesh distance field generation is enabled in the project settings, ray traced distance field soft shadows are used on the lights, and source radius determines the shadow softness -…
