Re: [CE3] Janky Jungle WIP
Yeah the lighting is all over the place on this one, maybe go for something more "gradient" like just for the base lighting, things are brighter at the top and darker at the bottom. Then place interesting visual elements to lead the eye at the bottom. If this was a game you'd have interesting enemies, lightsources (torches… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge June 2014 (20)
It looks nice! The width of your edges looks good, makes me want to loosen mine even more (still haven't posted yet :/ ) but some pinching on some corners could use another pass just to clean up some artifacts. Great job on breaking up the shapes! Only other critique would be to extend the width of the inner edge to… -
Re: What tips are there to save space on the UV layout?
for a bunch of repeated elements, I usually unwrap the original first then duplicate, even if I'm not done with the overal UV map yet. With those bolts, you should be able to copy & paste the UVs from one to another, just select one bolt, copy uvs, then select the rest and paste. You might have to paste each bolt one at a… -
Re: New Life: Handpainted Environment
Good trick for hand-painted textures that always helped me, or projects I've been a part of.....is to establish the following: (Doesn't have to work on any of current models, but generally it's a springboard to take your stuff where ya want to go.) Stone (rock texture) Paver (brick texture) Wood (Plank style) Wood (bark)… -
Re: Weird .tga file from the game
It's a swizzled texture, usually you need to open it with a Notepad or Hex Editor, and find a specific header/pointer and either decode it or delete it to get the texture back to normal. If it's Infinity Blade (which I don't think it is, since they use texture sizes upto 2K on most elements and 1K on lesser elements) then… -
Re: Max equivalent of modo's Geometry To Brush?
Yeah Xenobond's route is what I usually do - no special material setup needed, just make a plane and do a render to texture with heightmap. Hell, if you just want the image, turn on Render Elements, add the Z-depth element pass, and just do a standard render from the Top/Front/Right or whatever viewport. That'll give you… -
Re: Whats the most efficient way to texture this? Noob question
The easiest and fastest way to do this is to unwrap an element which is duplicated (like the columns, this part with a cylinder etc) and when it's unwraped, you duplicate this element (like that you'll automaticaly have your UVs overlaped). For the main building, you can unwrap one side (with a planar mapping + a relax).… -
Re: UDK WIP - Space Station Dock - Need advice!
I think the lighting and image is a little flat. However, it should be easy to fix as you definitely have enough geo/elements to create some depth. The biggest problem I see is that the opening to the landing bay is the pretty much the same tone/colour as the elements behind it. I would really kick up the lighting there to… -
Re: Fighterplane-thing
you're killing yourself right now trying to make it out of one mesh. Break it up into individual elements. also you have a lot of elements that clash. Why have a prop when u have side engines? Why have two sets of wings sooo close to each other? As long as it looks cool issues like that might not matter, but I think you… -
Re: Sketchbook: zet
You may want to separate elements like the floor by toning back the saturation. Lower saturation will push elements back while higher brings them forward. Yes it looks illustrative both in a good way and bad. The bad being it looks pretty flat. Too much use of the same color and same levels of saturation. AO can be nice…
