Show your models thread...(IMAGE HEAVY)

[Dylan]

I dont truly grasp how to make the spec maps, but I converted the diffuse map to grayscale and that seems to help, they arent that apparent though. I apply that image to the spec color and level, which is what I am supposed to do right? I found that adding a little gloss seems to help a bit, but at the same time it also dials down the effects of the specular maps. Its an odd balance.

Funny, just finished posting an article on texturing. What you're missing right now is transmitting the feel of metal or weight. Do this, give your diffuse/color texture a slight grunge feel to it & make it a tad darker, and then give your spec map a noise pass (be sure to lower the contrast). Last but not least, please, please render your images on a darker background (not black, just a darkish blue or gray). Go, go, go!

Im a little bit more satisfied. Signifigant changes since the previous skin for sure, and I couldnt have done it without you two.

Like requiem said, it needs a bit of noise to create that overall sence of metal underneath the green paint, but the dents/scratches is a huge improvement

I've also played around with some normal mapping, here is the rex scaled with a normal map of the texture (at a high contrast):



Here it is with a test texture applied:



the neat thing is that the tiling of the diffuse and normal maps are offset, normally I wouldnt, but it happened by accident and I kind of liked the effect of the scales being scaled, sort of..

Looks great, I like the close ups. Should look awesome when its aged and dirty.

yea, I'm really looking forward to mess around with some scars, which will make it "pop" more I think. Some I might just do with normal mapping, others I might model. But poor Rexy has once again been put on the shelf for a little while, cause I have some stuff to do/finish for the community mods. I'm spending a lot of time studying for my last exam of this (past) semester. Other than than I'm working on a bunch of concept art/models before posting anything about my mod project.

Looking a lot better, make sure when you add wear & tear that it's on places where you'd expect it, i.e. let's say you took your grenade and rolled it around concrete all day, where would the damage happen? Here's a bigger render of mine, it might be more then what you'd usually see in real life, but the effect feels a lot weaker in-game (so it needs a small push):



Keep it up

Boolean? It's a mess cleaning up after them, but it's simple enough.
