WIP and I still got ALOT to do in the texture.

me likey. ALOT. apart from the bottom half being too clean (not saying it should be scratched to hell) but you said you had alot to do so....

As far as the model itself goes i think its perfect. INB4 other people point out flaws that make me feel like a bloody moron.

ahah thanks man. Yeah I haven't fully weathered the mag and the mag holder :p.

the driver is gonna have to be slouched over really badly...xD
Awesome design though.

the guy's head is about where that highlight on the seat is actually

looking at it closer, that makes sense, i was a little confused. xD Anyway great design.

That would make sense if the driver's an Elite, though? :3

But yeah, nice design. Are you gonna model this?

yeah im gonna TRY

I think we are getting better :P

Nice, a word springs to mind however, I cannot think why. Perhaps it maybe coincendence?

Here is mine, texture still to do.

low_poly version:
tris: 6,419
verts: 3, 429

O.o never saw the tutorial, but looks nice. Though you probably don't need to have any detail on handle like the insetted circle since the hand will be covering it. I also deleted a lot of the screws to save on poly count and will add them in the normal map. Gotta finish the normal map too, but we decided to do a horror game instead so I stopped.

Will show you my wire frame if you want lol. But yeah nice work bro!

Ty brah!

I'm seriously annoyed with this model though, I have the lp final model all triangulated and it is still 5000+ tris.

I might do a normal map, never done one before. But normals are only useful in OS, If I do an OS version I might normal it. But until then I'm sorta stuck with texturing and animation this sucka for ingame.

Here are some shots I forgot to post, the xpl render is the high poly version (11,000 tris) and has no smoothing groups.





BTW: Stupid question but how do you do a wireframe? I know how to force the wireframe in the render settings dialogue bt, it removes the polies and just shows the edges.

Lol baking that without errors is gonna a b****. Do what I do for weapons and try nvidia normal map filter for Photoshop. You'll have to delete the seams in the channels where you UV seams are but its alot less tedious, especially for weapons. (This changes ofc when you have really hard surface weapons.

For an easy wireframe render like I did, I chose mental ray as my renderer and than chose composite as my material. Than just pug a wire frame standard shader in and your base material. The two should overlay in the render.

Wow. Looks great. Was that modeled and rendered in max?

not modeled, used aether to get infinity base, used vue to make island .
yes in max.

Have a little time on my hands, so I decided to take up some work on this year's UUI update.

I'm working on changing the player color selection bitmaps. Here's what I got so far for the base:

sexy

There won't be one. That's just my editing background I was using in Photoshop.

Does PS have an edge feather filter or something similar? Kinda jaggy ATM.

"refine edge" is what it's called


doesn't matter he should be using paint tool sai anyways >_>

Pretty. Reminds me of Forge World.

Needs moar structurrrrrz!


Seriously though, that looks amazing.

MOAR!!!

Thought I'd try my hand at up res'ing some forerunner metal textures from b30

Original ground plate texture



2048x2048 modification



Did it using GIMP and the vanilla texture. I think it came out alright, maybe a bit glossy. thoughts?

Readd the rustyness to it.

brightened and lowered contrast to remove glossiness and better fit the color. Added in some grimy colors and texture detail. if the detail is too noticeable I could always blur it all down into the background.

More rustiness to the corners. BUT OTHERWISE KEEWL.

Adding rust to the corners and edges is something I'm a little iffy about. I don't wanna ruin the tilability of the texture.

And @ Mootjuh, it was actually rust detail that I found online, but I definitely see the rock like texture now that you've mentioned it. It might be because I greyscaled the detail before cloning so the rust didn't effect the color of the texture very much, thus creating a more stonish effect. In short, Mah bad!

EDIT:

Ta-dah?


Edited by Delicon20 on Jul 2, 2014 at 02:51 PM

i'm not sure you understand how tiling works, one does not simply mess with corners

you could apply the detail you added as a layer with seamless filter, then it won't look lowres on the side and it will be easily tileable.

buuuut imo this is a waste of tagspace. Cool kids care about this, detail maps exists

I believe he was referring to the edges.



Speaking of edges; some highlight on the edge would add more depth to the insets.
