Re: Character : Face Hugger
@ Ged and TorQue[MoD] - Thanks for the comments, the suggestions of combining the original and the new worked out really well, I also used the same map + multiply to add a little contrast too. The new spec is getting there IMO. @ Sean McBride - I'm used to seeing the old school greyscale spec maps I think, I'll definitely… -
Re: 3d laptops and me / you / us
technically if a laptop can play games it'll be good for 3d, all you really need is a decent cpu, some ram and a good gpu. if you want to drag it around with you i'd recommend getting a 15" one, i used to have a 17" laptop, it had good specs and an awesome screen but it was heavy as hell, kind of a pain to lug that thing… -
Re: UDK - Low End Shaders/Material (AKA Old School Tricks)
Hmm, that's an idea, thanks. Much appreciated for the time you're giving mate :) I have small question, I see most MMO games which don't have a robust engine or budget take, fake depth of their models and such, using clever techniques with the Spec Map instead of the normal map. I have seen character models in MMO which… -
Re: Ak-74m modern russian rifle
I think what he's - possibly - trying to mimic there is the fact that many times field-expedient camo finishes on rifles are done with scrounged paint that has wildly varying specular qualities. You're right, it's not technically correct, but if he's using just that single grayscale spec (no split spec color & spec power /… -
Re: Wheel lock Arquebus (ornate 1st person weapon)
Thanks guys for the critique. djoexe: Thanks, I hand painted all the ornamentation on the barrel, based of the many references that I found. Kon Artist: I agree, I think upping the spec will help. Once it's in UDK it should have a cube map, and I'll have a much better idea on how the spec will react. Having not looked at… -
Re: Unity 5 PBR why use metallic texture?
This tutorial explains the differences in detail, and how to convert between metalness and spec maps: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-conversion General pbr: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-practice In short, spec maps are more flexible, but with the added flexibility comes a lot of freedom to make very… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop unnoficial monthly competition - APRIL
Her fringe doesn't look very appealing to me right now.. it reminds me of fingers. Like a hand is grabbing her forehead or something. All too uniform and evenly spaced. Try to look up some styles of fringes/bangs to get some good reference to copy. I have no problems with the rest of the hair style. Also not sure if this… -
Re: Blue Fire Hydrant
I'd try to push the specular a bit more. On a realistic fire hydrant, the paint is actually very glossy, easier to keep clean. Also, specular light is almost always (I said almost) the color of the light source because its light reflected. Unless you are trying to fake a SSS effect with colored spec, which is definitely… -
Re: M4A1 Carbine W.I.P
Thanks for everyones comments and crits they are all welcomed and taken somewhat serious. I just want to point out that I don't get upset or mad over crits. I do my best to fix them and move on in a timely manor. Instead of fixing the high I just took your crits and brought them into the low mesh. Tweaked the gaps and a… -
