Hi! Looks as intended to me. The values of the border pixel where the UVs end get repeated outwards (edge padding) to reduce visible seams when the texture is displayed at a lower resolution (mip map). I suppose by banding you mean the stepping in the padded pixels? That's probably due to the UV borders not being aligned…
First off, not a bad model. Keep improving though. Secondly. What's your end purpose with this project? An UDK project or what? I didn't find a certain answer in your replies. Concerning your UV layout there are many areas your could optimize that seem to be using similar texture details. You do this by "stacking"…
Well here's the pre-final of the third video I had to do, barring any changes requested from the client and some small personal adjustments I want to make that I'll hopefully be able to squeeze in (make the spline that the cars follow in the intro a bit smoother for the animation, disable the emerging fuels text when the…
whats your favourite game boss and why? All RE: 4 ones, but the final one sticks out in my mind. The whole scene plays out just like that; a scene, as opposed to one critically lame boss fight where I'm whittling down some guys energy bar for 20 minutes. Lame. It had a sense of urgency to a degree, and the crux of it, I…
Thanks! I've started adding some roots to make the connection better, but ended up not liking the whole tree in the end, so made a few changes. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Still work in progress. I'm thinking of changing what I put in there as a story point, but here's the environment for now. And I did a…
Tiny progress! I haven't had much time for this project unfortunately, but now my school has ended so I will try to make it to the end of June :) ------------- @Supposable Lion - Nice work! I love the plants! I think you should dampen the light from the lanterns a bit and maybe the (skylight?) as well. If it's a candle in…
the way i see it, in this kind of situations you can choose one of the following mindsets: "i envy those motherfuckers, so i'll do whatever it takes to eventually get awesome too" OR "i envy those motherfuckers, teh life is unfair!!!11!1!1111!1!one. now lemme wait till universe realizes its mistake, apologizes and finally…
A few updates. I changed the design to the ceiling. Went with more of a traditional ceiling tile. I'm still going to go in and remove some tiles from the mesh to add variance. The substance I used to make it includes the ability to add water stains which I'll be sure to include. I'm going to texture the doors, including…
I had some feedback from another artist, and didn't want to leave the problems without fixing them: 1. the bricks on the rim were not realistically placed (fixed hp, rebaked) 2. most of the model wasn't optimized (retopologised, reduced vert count by 50-70%) here is the end result. I can imagine having small props to dress…
I saw the film last night. -Huge Spoiler Alert- I'd like to discuss the ending a bit. They changed it up for the movie, and at first it struck me as a rather ingenious solution that they had come up with. A major point in the book is that the way to prevent war is to externalize human aggression. If everyone is pointing…
