???? It is perfectly valid approach. 1. Go To cgtextures. 2. Find textures. 3. Make it tileable. 4. Slap it on prop with separate materials. I can agree, that those photos need some processing, but there is really nothing wrong with using photos. I'm now texturing all my props using photos, single tileable texture and…
I'm going to go against the grain and suggest that trying to punch up some of the props/texturing in this scene would be a better move than starting something else - there's nothing profoundly wrong with your modelling, it's just your textures don't go very far beyond a 'base layer'. Seeing as you already have a completed…
Comin' along, especially considering a lot of these materials are "placeholder". Just a minor crit regarding the center pillars, they don't really fit the aesthetics of the scene. On their own they're great, love the subtle reflection on them, but the rest of the scene has a rounded nature to it with lots of curves and…
Could be cool! Too busy myself to jump in with a side project i'm working on, but here's my suggestion for the competition: Best prop category! Not everyone has the time to finish a full environment or they realize half way it's just not going to work out and maybe they'd rather just polish up what they have, or maybe they…
So I'm working on a project for school, we've been tasked with creating a modular building set which can be used to create several unique buildings (2 different buildings are required for the finished turn in) coupled with no less that 6 props to litter the scene at least two of which must have normal maps. I've chosen a…

Hey guys! I'm starting my first character(at a good level of knowledge and skills) and I'm having problem thinking the entire workflow for him. This character will have: armor, belts, weapon and some props. My problem is how do i tackle this. Sculpt the high poly character in zbrush->retopo->uv's->texture For the props do…
hi so im just about to enter my masters year in 3d art and i want to do something in the hard surface area, when looking at jobs i always see hardsurface as vehicles, weapons, props and anything thats not organic really, but at the moment i can only really do props and weapons, do i need to be able to be great at modelling…
Hey guys I've decided to focus in the area of Environment and hardsurface prop work. I'm going to keep this short and simple as we all know what happened last time. I'm also not going to mention a certain factor about myself. We all know what that is ;P Anyway guys, seriously, alot of you are awesome environment artists so…
