Not sure if you're all the same anon but yeah start focusing on learning Substance painter. Your textures are bringing down the overall quality of the props. Adobe has some great substance tutorials on youtube for free that you could check out. I also took Flippednormals course on substance texturing and they go through the process with you.

Well done Anon.
Get an FPS-rig and animate it...its a great looking gun and I'd love to see it in action.

You also need to learn art basics and fundamentals of texturing/surfacing. Learning Painter is necessary, but I fear even if you know the program, you'll fall into the trap of using smart materials in the wrong way and it'll look bad anyway.
You need to train you brain to see better - these scratches on your guns are a good example - you know they look like the doodling of an 5 year old, right? What went through your head when you did that?
You also didn't use references, right?
Don't be stupid and learn the whole package, its you lacking art skills that are bringing down your work and learning these will make the most difference in quality.

Then let me explain my motivation:
I am kind of honour bound. I will use a ton of stuff from other artists in my project (megascans for nature for example) so i want to at least design all of the hardsurface models (spaceships and other vehicles) myself. That includes the greeble stuff.
I fucked up my right wrist recently (carpal tunnel syndrome) so I can only work for a short amount of time, I am also kind of depressed (low energy) which kills my ability to design. So forcing myself to do a piece of greeble every other day keeps me kinda happy, productive and it keeps me in the game. This is a big side project I use as filler whenever I can't work properly on other projects like right now.

Yeah, I would even recommend it to others. I have a couple of these side projects and I feel like these increase my productivity overall. If i am not working on my main projects, even If i am lazy I can talk myself into doing something here and there and so I am always making some progress. The most important thing for me is to break these down into small pieces so that I can easily have a success experience, which feeds into my long-time motivation. Side projects are almost always production related and I am staying inside my comfort zone. Main projects involve lots of learning and RnD and are often outside of my comfort zone.

nice cottage house would chill out in.

it's the sg550. i plan to make every variant in its family along with the FAMAE variants for an autistic unity game idea. it's my first real project since first dling blender on the 5th, so I guarantee it's a travesty in how i'm actually making it. Certain areas are overly modeled that will never be seen, bad practice in destructive modifications, high edge circles on tiny objects, etc. The biggest offender is the ridiculously bad use of polygons on the handguard. it's a really good learning experience though even if the model is attrociously inefficient in areas.

Thanks anon, I'll 3D-print a life-size version for you.
>autistic unity game
>Certain areas are overly modeled that will never be seen
Embrace the autism fully. Guns are /k/ool. Even if you made a CAD model with 1:1 internal parts that could be 3D printed and interchanged with the real thing, I wouldn't consider it over modeled. Plus modelling all that detail is a good way to hone your skills, so don't worry too much, especially for a first project. That said, don't let yourself get too bogged down in the details if it isn't fun for you.
> The biggest offender is the ridiculously bad use of polygons on the handguard.
I wouldn't worry too much for a game model. I mean, it's always nice to work with all-quad topo, and that's definitely what you should aim for, but for a game model, some bad topo isn't going to kill you. One thing I would suggest is this: in the future, when you get better (and by the looks of things, you're doing pretty well already) go back and model another 550, then compare it with your original. Seeing your improvements is a great way to boost morale.

no one here cares about whether your parts are functional. Only about their aesthetics

but here, your skill at functional design is irrelevant unless applied to push imagination further, creating more believable, but still fictional, concepts
all your stress and wear tolerance calculations mean nothing here if they haven't been made in support of an artistic goal

Yeah, but I only used it for supporting assets due to time constraints. Flowers and small wooden models which I will replace. The rest of the vegetation is made in SpeedTree. I think the most obvious thing are probably those walls and stairs next to the fountain as they are used a lot by everyone. I even have my own versions of those but haven't finished them so I just left these ones I used during blockout.

You know, I usually stay far away from Megascans assets because I'm always afraid people will notice it and make it look like I can't do it on my own, even though it doesn't seem like anyone usually minds it. But then a comment like yours comes and bites me in the ass, making me regret ever touching it in the first place.

Yeah, that's true (unfortunately), can't beat scans. I have an appreciation of a high quality handcrafted work though. Lol yeah, the wagon wheel, I even have my own model of that too from another project, but was too lazy to find it on another PC. But yeah, this is the first time I've used scans, and only because of necessity. It was a uni project with deadlines and I fought with various technicalities and all the other obligations, so I couldn't spend more time on smaller filler pieces.

That's why I said, I'm gonna take a break from this and do a hardcore rework when I come back. I'm honestly super sick of it after working on all of this for 3-4 months. I don't feel like it showcases my current skills either so I can't stand even looking at it anymore.

I was thinking about creating a Megascans-only scene once, so I can focus fully on scene building, but I'm not sure... I just like a feeling when I made everything by myself, can't help it.

[Anonymous No.787262]

when you use megascan it's like downloading any 3d model from the internet and using it in your renders, it has no point, you just copy and paste things.

You would have a point if you would mention that this is a problem for a modeller who wants to impress with his folio. It does not bother a generalist who just wants to make a short, or a level designer or environmental artist, or even a modeller who just wants some stuff in the background when presenting his model.
Context matters and I am getting quite sick of people who build up these absolute rules while not understanding the why and when.

Ive been half assing my time since then but yeah, this lwrc tutorial is one of the things ive been doing on and off the past two weeks. i still have my gay ass developer deskjob so im not able to put all my free time and energy towards modeling.

This rear ironsight is also something i did after i re-started early Dec again after the 2 week break.

just dl boxcutter and hardops and fuck around. they make it a joke

Why do my cliffs look awful

[Anonymous No.791494]

>>791439
Because the top is to consistent. You should add some big cracks to represent pieces that have fallen away.
You also need some algae lines where the high tide meets the rock, and maybe consider adding some lines going through at a slight angle to represent the different sediment layers in the rock.
Also add a walkway or a house or something to give a reference point for the scale.

the little white figure is a person and the brown box is a placeholder for a house bro, those are the scale reference points. What do you mean by the top is too consistent? Even your own picture shows its almost completely flat, places like dover cliffs are flat up top, etc. I was mostly talking about shaders anyway, but you're right I should probably add in some vertical erosion and sedimentary lines.

It's titled "low poly" but I'd guess it's hundred of verts.

True 'low poly' models utilize normal maps and/or parallax occlusion maps and/or alpha clip to fake geometry or give the illusion of geometry.

For example, all those tiles on the roof could be faked with a combination of normal map, ambient occlusion map, and alpha clip and reduce it from a hundred verts to just a couple dozen.

"Low poly" is like resident evil 1 assets. An octagonal cylinder (ten polygons) for a red barrel.

>>793552
>all those tiles on the roof could be faked with a combination of normal map, ambient occlusion map, and alpha clip
How would you get depth with that method? I'm pretty sure you can't recreate it with flat planes, unless I didn't understand you. If they were surrounded by some kind of a border, then sure, but in this case you'd lose the silhouette and it would look like nothing from sides and lower angles.

While looking for a good hand painted dagger tutorial I found this which I assume is what you followed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMD5yZJL5O0

It's fine, just needs more practice. Try to breakup all of those bright edges and see how he made them vary in width. A better color blending and some nicer color hues can go a long way.

I think you should get yourself a drawing tablet if you don't have one already. I don't really do hand painted textures like these, but if I did I definitely wouldn't do it with a mouse. Actually I'm looking forward to doing some painterly texetures as well when I buy a tablet soon.
