Re: [WIP] Sword - Need some advice on detailing
Alright, well I would stay away from subdiving if you're box modeling. if you want to add polycount to give more definition then I would bevel edges. Especially if you want to go the hand painted route you want to stay as low poly as possible. As for modeling the lion head, I would just go into a front view and get the… -
Re: looking for feedback on my toon style.
2 things. Next time put picture, it's just like you when you hve to click link, people don't like that, people don'T like to watch 5min of video for nothing either. Just post picture of your wire frame and one of the asset textured, texture sheet if you want to. but not a speed modeling video. I just fast foward on the… -
Re: Material Tutorials: 8 Step By Step Tutorials and General Tips
A bit late, but thanks! :) About that particular shot it is from the Natural Selection 2 model viewer actually :) And the props are made for that game as well so. But yeah the spec highlights show pretty well in that viewer for sure! I'm sorry for digging this up again, but I just wanted to say that I finally made another… -
Re: Am I doing this right?
With handpainted assets, your smoothing groups tend to need to obey where you actually physically need hard or soft normal breaks on the model. You're only basing your smoothing groups on UV islands IF you decided to break your UV islands only along hard edges. This matters more for realistic assets than it does for… -
Re: Hand-painted texture WIP thred
KingLuke24 Thanks! :) Well I haven'r done so many handpainted textures my self, just started this summer. But I have been looking alot on pictures, how wood for example looks like, where light and shadow should be placed. Also I have looked on other peoples handpainted textures. So I haven't really learned it somewhere… -
Re: Another person jumping on the Hand-Painted bandwagon
Hey! I know you said it's still WIP, but keep in mind the major forms. Right now your pill man is reading really flat. His overall shape is supposed to read rather spherical, so he should be lit like a sphere with a definite light source and core shadow/shadow. Only after nailing that would I add the other details like eye… -
Spiral Knights Textures
Hey guys and gals - Perhaps not the best first post..asking for stuff, but here goes :) I just checked out Spiral Knights, and instantly fell in love with the textures. Really inspired me to get back to hand painted textures. I'm happy they didn't pack everything down as every texture is in a .png, I've studied them and… -
Re: Newb starting an environment for Blizzard's Contest
Hello there, guys! I spent the last week going crazy crazy trying to figure out a few things about terrain textures, more specifically WoW terrain textures (which are my study focus for this project). They seem to tile pretty easily sometimes, but then, as I tried to simulate that in my project, I couldn't get it to work.… -
Re: 2028 Russia (level design, models etc)
here's some texture tips :) textures are made from typical tile textures (you can find them on specialized texture sites (www.cgtextures.com, www.textureking.com or simple google image search). Then they combine in photoshop with masks. After that we do handpainting based on texture pupose - if this texture is a wall… -
Re: I need advice of how to manage my time
Right now I'm working on a character that is neither Halo nor Sci-fi and I still had to do a lot of hardsurface work, how does that happen? Everything that isn't organic is hardsurface, and even with organic basemeshes your hardsurface skills will come in handy. I suppose you can deal without these skills when you work on…
