^ it sounds like there's something different about your middle guy that the other two don't share. This is what REAL video game dev is all about :P get your deductive problem solving hat on and work through it. whats with the cheesy painted scratches? - thats a job for your normal map. you can paint scratches into your…
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it. @Peyd3d =) You’re absolutely right about the shading issues. I’ve gone over the meshes several times and addressed a number of those areas already. Some of the round and beveled assets were causing issues, so I’ve increased the geometry there to improve the…
I can understand that you might not find "hand-painting" textures fun, even with photo sourced textures you're going to want to do some painting at some point. Just try doing stuff. Yeah, they'll probably suck, and you'll hate them. But, if you don't try you'll never get better. I sucked at first. I sucked at textures for…
Hello all, This is my first time attempting to use this forum, so I'm open and expecting to be told if i've done something wrong or posted in the wrong place, or recommendations for where to go. I'm currently in need of something that I have no doubt most of you will find childsplay, but i've been unsatisfied with my own…
This is looking really cool! I've skimmed through the thread and didnt see this mentioned: in the concept, the flow of the composition works much better than in the cg replication, and that is primarily due to the balance of lights and darks. The foreground objects are obscured in 2d much more than they are in the 3d.…
I think you need to push the use of colour in this piece, lets take a look at a similar style weapon from the masters... blizzard.. As you can see, like your sword, this has subtle glowing parts and an ornamental blade. There are two light sources, the sky (white) and the colour of the glow effect (purple)which effects the…
I've googled this issue with not much success. I'm painting with x mirrored and Mudbox decides that it can't fully paint the seam in a couple spots for some reason. I thought maybe a hole in the mesh but I've checked if the middle vertices are merged in the model and they are. In fact Mudbox would tell me if there was…
having that issue of not being able to paint on the model again. so i open up a normal map in photoshop, i then open up ndo and convert that map to a ndo map, i then select the multinormal and then select the ndo painter and when i paint on the model i can see the brush but the color does not show up...so ill close down…
Thanks Alex_J. I mean not the resolution but rather pixel depth . Is this png 8 or 16 bit per grey channel ? My favorite painting soft is Rebelle actually but it doesn't have any height map export at all . I asked them to do it many years ago as well as many other people too but they never did it . Blender 2.7 addon allows…
Forum thread http://www.silo3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5894 Direct link to video http://www.nevercenter.com/videos/silo_2_april_15.mov I'm really looking forward to this. I'm sure it won't get to the point where it competes with zbrush, but I'm wanting this because it will let us combine traditional modelling and…
