Quick Crit thread 2012

[BobtheGreatII]

Thanks. There are a few more things that I want to touch up... Then I'll get some final renders. I need to get back to CMT stuff.

Edit:

Edit: also, why is everyone using black backgrounds? heh.

Because I was making a point and it's default to 3ds max. Dur. :P

I also wanted to say that... if you do plan on baking them, you're going to have some funky things going on if you do:
_......._
.\...../
..|__|

It's better to do:

Hope that makes sense. I'm mostly seeing it on the holes on the side of your gun.

Better explained in this:

Made a few assets for a video.

[Limited]

Needs more specular for what your using it for Llama Highlights and shadows and specular is what really sells objects.

[Llama Juice]

I'll keep that in mind for the next one :P

[Nero]

And maybe make some normals? (You can try Crazybump, if you only have a diffuse and no high poly).

[Llama Juice]

I figured I wouldn't really need to bother with normals since they were going into a video. The shell is the only thing that's game res, and it's moving fast enough in the video that it doesn't really matter.

I was trying to get world reflections on it with mental ray shaders, but it was giving me a headache and I just gave up. Plus, then render times became bearable.

this is how it turned out in the video.

I'm through the process of creating a pillar just so I can get a handle of the Asset creation process.

Here is a side by side of the low poly and high poly:

well, you killed the thread.

[PopeAK49]

well, you killed the thread.

[Tnnaas]

I've been doing MLP sketches for a while, but this is the only one I've scanned and began vectoring.



This is actually my second (third?) attempt and is certainly the best so far. Before I clean up the colt and move on, is there anything that I can improve that I didn't catch the first time through.

Also, the color is simply a placeholder. I'll probably change it later.
