I may be mistaken but the light setup seems really simple, one light source in front of this model at around 45 degree angle, ether spot area or a directional light with multiple gi bounces

What's good and what's bad about it? I want to know what's done right and what needs improving.

[Anonymous No.406485]

>>406482
texture on metal is chiseled and looks bad
metal texture has seams
screws looks bad
wood textures are blurry and crappy
model has sharp edges all over
needs ambient occlusion shadows baked onto the texture

[Anonymous No.406500]

>>406485
1) When you say chiseled, can you elaborate? The look I'm aiming for with the gun isn't a new shiny one, but perhaps one that has been sitting in storage for many years, perhaps even with a bit of rust and pitting around the barrel and metal areas.

2) Seams are being fixed as we speak, am still working on the UV + texture, esp making seamless transitions for the engravings.

3) Screws are temp, still need decent painting. Am tempted to model some of them in.

4) The wood texture is actually the most high res part of the gun, any reason for it looking blurry would be attributed to the render settings, but I'll look into clearing that up. As for it looking crappy, can you elaborate on it? I've always been told here in /3/ to make stuff look gritty and banged up, rather than clean and shiny and new, so it was the look I was going for on the wood.

5) As for ther sharp edges, I'm working with a low polycount (<1700) to see what I can crank out. Granted that some of that polycount is being spent on some internal areas such as the ejector mechanism for the barrel, internal hammers etc which aren't visible until the gun is opened for reloading, but I do intend to work heavily on the metal receiver(?) area to make it transition to the stock a little better.

6) As for ambient occlusion, I've already baked in the shadows to the texture, perhaps I should make it more evident and pronounced.

Thanks for your crits, will return soon with updated renders, there's still a lot of texture work to be done (particularly on the receiver area/trigger guard).

[Anonymous No.406501]

>>406500
Forgot to mention, orig texture is 2048x2048 for both diffuse and specular. Not sure at the moment if I have the skills to do a high-poly model for baking decent normals, with engravings etc but I intend to make a 2048x2048 normal as well with clear details such as the manufacturers writing on the barrel and boxlock. What's the current texture resolution and polycount for most current or next gen game viewmodels for weapons? I know the polycount is stupidly low already.

[Anonymous No.406502]

>>406500
A migrant from /k/ here, just happened upon this.

I think the problem with the wood texture is that it doesn't look like the sort of wood any gunsmith would make into a stock. Check out pictures of stocks from the major manufacturers. Its not an ordinary wood texture.

Hey I noticed that you just make a low poly only and then texture. Are you creating normals ao maps in PS with something like NDo2? Or are you just using the default you create from Max? I suggest creating high poly models and baking them down onto a low poly later. It would give it a much more desired look.

I would love to learn some high poly skills so that I could do engravings. Is it something that could be done in Max or is it something strictly for Zbrush?

As for the normal, I used Photoshops nvidia plugin (ugh), but got NDo2 yesterday and am going to learn it as best as I can.

Diffuse texture attached, any critiques on other areas are welcome, although it is strictly a WIP - the buttstock is a photo at the moment and I need to paint one, and the triggerguard/trigger assembly looks disgusting and needs way more work.

It helps.
Noobs starting with zbrush often think dynamesh and sculpting form a sphere is all the rage, but it isnt. Often you will want lot more control over your mesh when doing more complex stuff and you will be forced to import base meshesh from other software.
Also it helps to jump fast between lets say max and zbrush.
When sculpting you mostly need a good feel for form and anatomy knowledge, and reference. But when you just want to detail something up you can get away with a lot.

It will help to start the animation with your character initializing the jump so you can figure out just where the torque comes from and how much force is proper,
once he become airbourne you let him keep that velocity flowing and only alter it by extending/pulling in limbs, same principle as ice dancers in the olympics doing their spins.
Make the animation feel rythmic with a clear flow of forces troughout the motion.

It may help trying to imagine yourself being inside the body, think about how the motions feels to you, make it look like it's alive and counciously controlling the muscles troughout the motion,
right now it really looks at best like a semi awake, intoxicated, astronaut tripping in zero G.

I'm having some trouble with my normal maps, recently started using them and as you can see in the picture it looks "decent" in the persp view. (altough it doesn't show much in the picture).
But when I render it with the Maya software it looks like shit/more shit.
Which one am I supposed to trust? Since they look so different I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to correct the Normal map after.

>>407682
Try just painting your normal map in height-field and use the nvidia PS pluglin to generate a normal map from there. Usually auto-magic normal map makers suck ass for these images. It's simpler...and cleaner...to paint it. You could possibly combine it with a crazy-bump-ed map for extra detail but fuck dude, that's shit.

You paint one and copy+paste. It may be on a tedious side but it's surely not hard

[Anonymous No.407749]

>>407682
first make sure that your normals are pointing in the right direction, different software have different conventions.
Notoriously the green channel of a normal map needs to be inverted when going from max to maya and vice versa.
Secondly realize that anything you put trough a algorithm like crazybump or the nvidia filter etc will look rather poor
because all they do is converting some emboss type image filter into normals, and these will never turn out very well.

Normal mapping was originally conceived to convert 3D mesh angles into bitmaps, for doing stuff like projecting high poly geometry onto low.
Making maps using filters is not a process for getting accurate normals but rather a budget hack for getting some of the effect going
without having to make a proper highpoly model.

One can mend normalmaps created this way into looking okay by painting in missing 'key' depth details by hand, but that takes both expertise and time.

Anyway, tried to do rabbit feet. Feel like I failed pretty hard with them but I don't know what else to do. Any criticism/suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

in regards to the 'beer belly' thing you were after, maybe a comical outy belly-button would do the trick?

also disregard these home taught ass holes, everytime I bring up the fact I go to school to learn 3D they flip their shit like this too. Best not to feed them.

Hands look a bit strange, maybe again try go cartoony with 4 fingers rather than five. Feet look alright, should research bugs bunny.

Many buttmad fags in /3/. What did you expected from 4chan anyway?

Belly button helped a lot, added nipples while I was at it.

I'm thinking he's just some fag fresh from /b/ who thinks the rest of 4chan is just like his circlejerk back at /b/ 'LULULULUL I TROLL U SO HARD U BUTT MAD NAO XDD".

Not anyone who actually knows anything about what he's talking about.

Anyway, the feet alone then. They've been frustrating me enough already. The story has the gloves coming to life, which is why you can see a bit of a face on them. I used their character models as place holders for what they look like before then.

SO I guess I'll just start modeling his hands now, make some proper eyes and start rigging him up now.

yeah, belly button really does help it out a lot.

The gloves actually reminded me of something I had seen in maybe a Disney cartoon (I think) where gloves were coming to life..

How many years have you been in education for what you're doing? This is my first year doing it. Haven't even touched character modelling yet.

That's quite an interesting looking.

A big part of what it's doing is mixing flat vertex lighting with a phong style of lighting. So it shows big polygons, but they also have gradients.
And easy way to get that would be to, on the shader, just do a mix(phongDiffuse, vertexDiffuse, 0.5);
