Re: Portfolio - Feedback Wanted
I think the biggest problem you're having is that you composite together a diffuse, throw it into crazybump, and then call it a day. Your spec, gloss, and normal maps are all just as important as your diffuse. Just because you have textures on your model doesn't mean they look good. Quick and dirty texturing can actually… -
Re: Creating realistic Cuts and Scratches
Thanks for your suggestions. I have added scratch textures to my diffuse map in overlay mode. Do I do the same for my normal map?? @Jack: Must I convert my diffuse map into normal map after I add scratches? Because it is almost impossible for me to do the same two strokes with brushes. -
Re: Give Idea to my first project
if you want only diffuse, then make only the big details and shapes (only what would really modify the silhouette) and add the smallers to the texture (seams, screws, fans, panels, and "intruded parts"). i think the most of the mobile games uses only diffuse, and just a few uses normalmaps. it depends on how powerful… -
Re: Polycount Sketch Thread - Modeling Project
Thanks Hellmouth! I haven't seen you around in awhile. And thanks EiGHT! Good to hear from you. Here's an update, sorry about the delay. I've been on vacation for awhile. 7450 tris 2048x2048 diffuse and normals. The diffuse is still early on too. I might shrink the resolution down to 1024x1024, but not sure yet. No spec at… -
Re: Laser or Flashlight
Unfortunately we do not support volumetric effects at this time, some quick ideas though: For a flashlight, you could create a cone shape piece of geometry, turn off reflectivity, set diffusion to unlit, and load an alpha map to vary the falloff, set it to additive and include diffuse. Same for a laser effect, but use a… -
Re: Tribal Frog
It would seem to me that your diffuse is too bright to use a spec map properly, you want to use the spec to give you lighting and if you diffuse is already lit really well you're just gonna get over-blown colors. You should also paint a spec color map so it dosent turn to white as well. -
Re: CTHLU Environment [Zbrush Heavy] [WIP]
awesome, you better do this justice! :) Your diffuse is rather dark, even if it is a "darker" stone it still looks very dark, One thing to keep in mind is if you start with a dark diffuse it will be very difficult to make it bright with lighting, which means you're already limiting yourself in the range of colors your… -
Re: Mouse (Update Final)
thx I think normal maps tend to make everthing hard and dirty shaded which is a very bad thing for skin. So, Im useing a skin shader now and i reduced the shadeing in the diffuse and also reduced the specularity, but im still useing a dark diffuse as the spec map: (Hard surface stuff is still very wip) -
Tomb King Shield
Hey everyone! Found a neat concept for Warhammer Online and thought i'd give it the ol' college try as a practice/warm up model for a more serious project. My goals for this are:* Use Sketchfab effectively to show off a prop. * Create a hand painted heavy diffuse * Derive a normal and spec from the diffuse * Polish to… -
Deus Ex Oven Lab
Hey guys was wondering if I could get some feedback and advice on this piece, its based on this Deus Ex concept. I think the spec in particular still needs a lot of work to get that nice shiny material from the concept but any feedback would be appreciated. cheers! diffuse 1 http://i.imgur.com/FdsGJU6.jpg spec 1…
