Re: Exis F.E.A.R 3 Art Pimp [Art Dump]
Thanks for posting. Modeling and textures (diffuse and normals look great for me). But I would have to agree that spec and glossiness look kinda similar for all models. That tends to make all models look like they were made from same kind of materials. I would love to see spec and glossiness maps if possible. Are they made… -
Re: 3D MAX. How to render without lights but with light map!
Yeah 2nd UV channel it's common, If that's the best practice then I'm good with that. I set up the materials a certain way though. I used a standard material, and used an rgb multiply in the diffuse slot and plugged in both my texture and a vertex color node. Then I plugged in my lightmap into the self illumination slot… -
Re: [Stylized] Commander Video!
Worked some more on the diffuse and gotten to a level where i think I'll soon start working on the specular. Still need some polishing and fixing up but I'll get there :) Right now theres quite a lot of weird texture-seams, but I figured I'll fix them in the last stage. But behold: Diffuse, no lighting Edit: Noticed that… -
Re: [WIP] Freelance Art Test Bus
i've seen good results of organic models where a nice ao bake from a high poly really helps, haven't really seen that so much with hard surface stuff. I almost feel like going oldschool straight up photo refs would be better for this. Or convincing the company to allow 1 1024x512 norm and 1 1024x512 diffuse. The spec given… -
Re: Need spaceship help - panel lines?
The critiques are really helping (well, I hope, I guess it's for you guys to decide if I'm actually improving or not). I adjusted the color scheme so that the lights are now orange/yellow/blue/white, and added more detail to the diffuse and spec maps. Btw, thanks for that app Xoliul, I had SO much trouble finding a decent… -
Re: Texture Feedback
One big thing that i notice here is a distinct lack of color in your... color map, and no baked ao, the AO would go a long way to help out, along with studying metal materials a bit more and putting some color into the diffuse map. Other than that, the diffuse is probabbly too bright, and the specular too strong/sharp,… -
Re: 3dsmax ambient occlusion bug?
You can exclude object-ID's with the AO-Shader, the Render To Texture dialog misses that option unfortunately. By putting an AO in the diffuse-slot of your source geometry and setting SelfIllumination to 100% you can bake an AO-pass and still be able to exclude single objects. That means of course that you can't bake… -
Re: New images on website
Nice new stuff Dave. I feel that the normalmapped cyber-head guy could do with a more interesting diffuse/spec texture though. The metal parts are all kinda blurring into a dark mass at the moment, and the blood seems to be the same shininess as the flesh. Also the guy's eyes seem rather boring at the moment. Another pass… -
Re: Low Poly Assets Research
AFAIK normal maps did not become 'standard' until the current generation of consoles. Prior to xbox360/PS3 there were some PC games which took advantage of the technology (Doom III and Far Cry come to mind) but I don't believe it was very widely used before that. Prior to that, (I could be wrong here, someone else can… -
Re: Missing packages
Yeah the compression for diffuse textures is sometimes pretty horrible, and you can't use an uncompressed format like you can with normalmaps. When you double click on the texture inside UDK, is the "Filter" set to linear or nearest? Using nearest gives you pixelated textures, and linear blends the pixels together to make…
