Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge January 2014 (15)
Zerogun@ I think you have way to much going on in that texture the noise is too strong. For the diffuse map you really want to keep the damage, dirt and scrapes to a min and use low opacity levels for them and focus more on on having that kind of detail in the spec map. Remember that metal is often really smooth and the… -
Re: Need a new digicam
Canons take the best images, but are easily broken. If you want a waterproof camera that is durable, try the Pentax W series cameras. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Pentax/pentax_optiow30.asp I personally own a Casio Exilim that has been dropped on pavement once from 5 feet, and still works (although most reviews… -
Re: [WIP] Wanderlei Silva (from the UFC)
Aw man, he was borderline robbed on that decision. It sucks when this happens, Franklin should have taken the Hendo fight and Wanderlei should have gotten this one. Too bad he didn't get Franklin in the clinch long enough to give him a third consecutive nosejob by a person named "Silva". It was a great fight though. Vrav,… -
Re: 40k pillar wip + introduction
Nice work! I feel like you have a really well done normal map, however when you are applying your diffuse and spec it really kills all the normal details. I would try to bump some more spec changes from the different materials on there to help make the different materials pop. I would also look into adding an ambient… -
Re: M202A1
wheres teh spec? everything looks like its made of paper right now. why dont you render this in marmoset? i would cut down the amount of scratches around the lines on the body and put a bit more on the rounded edges since thats where it would logically get scratched. and id also make the bare metal bits darker in the… -
Re: Concept Station Terminal
I agree with frubes about more logical treatment of the texture. Think of areas that are least exposed and how dirt might collect there, where some part might rust, and how exposed parts would be worn. As for differentiating metal and plastic/paint, it really helps to study references. I took loads of photos of worn out… -
Re: Blacksmith Character
Another little update - Tweaked the diffuse map, added more liver spots/moles, more colour variation, and some eyebrows! - Got a spec map too, i'd love some input on this as it's my first proper attempt at a spec map. - Fixed some normal map issues. Thanks for all the brilliant input over the course of this project, i… -
Re: H&K G36C
Good stuff. A few crits though: There are a lot of unneeded loops on the receiver for the low poly. It could really be optimized a lot more. There are also a lot of frontal details modeled in on the low poly that will never be seen on a first person weapon. The spec is making the gun look cloudy. I'd try and limit the… -
Re: Meet the [low poly] Team
Thanks for posting these, i'm going to use these in a tf2 low spec port, lol, For older computers. I'd make a portable port, but i dont know c++, lol. Anyways, great job on these. I just need to go in and make low poly versions of all the weapons, turrets, pickups and stuff. as well as low spec versions of the maps. lol.… -
Re: ShaderFX 1.5 is now available
i have a dumb question for you ben: i use the DX display thingy for normal, spec, glow, etc.... so what your shader does is render in viewport...plus has lots of other toys to mess around with right? and is more user friendly for peeps that don't know how to write shaders? also, is it superior at displaying textures ie:…
