Re: Question about pre-rendered billboard backrounds.
Go with smaller, stacked billboards so you can layer them and get some parallax. You could even just texture page a ton of buildings on one texture and build out a lot of different variations. You'll also probably want to texture them as if they were regular diffuse textures and utilize in-game lighting to help them blend… -
Re: Sketchbook: NewBranch
Here is the knight i made for a school assignment a while ago. The budget we had was 10.000 tris with a 2048 diffuse including normals and specular. It landed on 9996 tris. [IMG]http://www.polycount.com/forum/<a href="http://imgur.com/geOeogU"><img src="<a href=http://i.imgur.com/geOeogU.png"… -
Re: Model Help
I wasn't planning on using this in a mod or anything, I'm just trying to get into the right polygon range for current games, so I don't over do it. I was probably at most going to put it into UDK to see how it looked. I was hoping to end around around >5k tri-count, with 1024x1024 texture sheest for Diffuse, Spec, Normal… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge April 2014 (18)
Smoothed out the high for a more basic detail bake. Hopefully when I get round to the diffuse I will bring back that stylised feel. Tested out some emissive maps too. Will get round to re-modelling for a better silhouette and proportions. Paco great work on the statue, always wanted to get that sort of look, what brushes… -
Re: mccartm6
ok so i've been learning the ins and outs of normal maps, diffuse maps, and spec maps and how to put it all together. Below is the results of it tested one of the wheels. There are seams running inwards towards the center on the tire.Im not exactly sure were they are from as i have painted over all visible seams in mudbox?… -
Re: Cowgirl
loved this. only thing i could say is maybe a little more work on the hats texture (a little too flat) and looking at her from the front theres an edge that sticks out from the crowd right at her cheek.. at 45 degrees and from the side her face's siluete is looking great. made me wanna try something like this. pure diffuse. -
Re: Gravity Generator
^ thanks, i want it to animate but im not sure we'll have enough time to do. If not ill make that a future WIP. thanks for the tut btw. so im gonna call this almost done, just want to take it into Unreal or Marmoset to see how it looks. 1024 diffuse, spec, and normals, maya viewport grab with crappy incandescence glow and… -
Re: Low Poly FFXIII - Fang
I suggest baking out an AO/Cavity map and adding that to your Diffuse to help things pop a little (depends on where you're going and what you aim for, but it should help you get started much more closely to shadow AO's). Lastly, are you going to put up a spec? That makes a whole world of difference for sexy female skins. -
Re: Dead Tree Mess
Ah! I see, that might have been why I had problems getting an AO map in the first place. I was under the impression that you should almost always use AO maps, I guess I was mistaken/confused. I was hoping not to go down the route of normal maps, at least to start, just focusing on diffuse for now. Thanks for the info. -
Re: presenting characters in UDK
progress....I worked on the spec maps....which are probably too far the other way now, tidied up the normals and flipped the green channel....Thanks Pior :D Things are beginning to come together with the materials....and now it shows how weak the diffuse was, it's just a polypaint export at the moment and really needs…
