Some texturing...
-
23 Apr 2010edit: Sorry for the big images
By the way has anyone noticed that every image posted on the forum is kinda blurred?
Ok here we go..
Since we all want to bring this simplycg puppy back to life I might as well post something. I have been trying on my own to get into texturing, I think that that is what i want to do and i want to be good at it. So since you all learned from each other here and all got those fancy jobs you could give some pointers i hope So i can one day score a big job of my own
Anyway here is what i did a few months ago.
Seaking. I didn't model this, only texturing.
and a turntable

So i tried my best to give it a game cinematic type of look.
Suchoj T-50
This one is the new Russian airplane recently revealed for the first time. So i had only 1 blueprint with front view didn't match to the rest and i think 3 reference images so the model might not be correct. But that was not the point here. Again the point was texturing witch i am not really all that happy about. This time i wanted a photoreal but i got into the game cinematic look again. I guess the experience with the seaking dragged me in Oh yeah and a turntable

So tell me what you think about those.
Cheers! -
mechis 520 posts23 Apr 2010Pretty cool, man! I've never had patience for all the little bits and pieces involved in hard surface modelling/texturing... but this looks fantastic!
~Mechis -
23 Apr 2010both look amazing!
the texturing is very good!
the second one could use more fine detail modeling maybe that would help to getmore into the realistic than the game cinematics look. What i mean for example are those little grey lines that are in the texture but not visible on the model. Maybe a normal map would enhance the fine detail. Imo the texture quality is good.
maybe its a tick too shiny. -
23 Apr 2010Looks awesome man! It'd be cool to see it in a more realistic lighting scenario, it looks now like it's in a dark warehouse with spot lights on it kind of haha.
Now do a fly through with them! -
23 Apr 2010Mechis thanks.
diemacht thanks man. Yeah i agree, it could use a few details in the model itself. I haven't putt that many effort in modeling the little bits.
JayG thanks! The next one that i do will be in a more realistic environment. Some hdri-s and backplates probably. And about the fly through... well animations is not really my thing. Perhaps on the next model.
Thank you all for the comments. Next time I start something i will open a WIP thread for it. Hopefully ill get some comments there as i go. -
23 Apr 2010You should still try to animate the helicopter! Model is great, texturing is great, would be a shame for it to be put away in the closet forever now that it's good to go.
I could rig it up for you in like ten minutes if you want, what better a time to learn how to animate?
Who did the modeling?
btw, I'll be in serbia tomorrow. where about do you live? ill be in belgrade then novi sad. -
23 Apr 2010Yeah i know how to rig it myself, i just didn't want to animate it for now. But i think that i will do it when i prepare my reel.
Dang man you are coming to Serbia? You should've let me know earlier. Tomorow I am all day at my brothers weading
I could've arranged something. By the way i am far from Belgrade and Novi Sad. About 300km south/east.
Well next time you come here or i get i fancy job somewhere in the white world we will meat up. -
24 Apr 2010I'll be there until Wednesday morning.
Should be coming out again sometime though, I'll give ya more notice. -
24 Apr 2010I am really sorry man. Its juts not possible at this moment
Anyway about the texturing. Do you (all of you) have any ideas what i should do next? As a wanna be texture artist i must know to texture everything including characters, creatures, props, vehicles and so on. -
25 Apr 2010well the thing is "metal" stuff is kida easy to make. because you can make anything very fast shiny. try something else. like a very realistic cotton look. or wood. or skin like stuff....
-
25 Apr 2010You can make everything shiny with a push of a button but if that all you see on the images than I failed in my quest.
Whats challenging about wood? You mean for me to make a wood texture from scratch or? -
25 Apr 2010no way i was questioning your ability!!
i apologize
the work you did is really great!
my words weren't intended to taken literally but i failed with my English i guess :S
Wood was just an example. What is that you want to do? do you want to paint textures? or do you want to do to look it like metal, wood, cotton...... whatever the material looks like.
if your focus is more on the creation of the used texture map than the material; then i indeed would suggest to make a wood texture from scratch (thats kind of a hard one.) -
26 Apr 2010Oh man, no need to apologize. I guess my English is not that good either
I like "harsh" commenting, I have a friend that is never satisfied completely with my work and i love comments from him because he only tries to make me do a better job.
I've read somewhere a perfect formula for shader creation
Step1 = Create a plane and a sphere
Step2 = Assign a shader to the sphere and build the shader
Step3 = Show it to 3 friends who are never satisfied and eventually your shader is going to look awesome
Its a joke but has some serious truth to it.
Anyway, my goal is to texture. What ever it takes to make textures look the best they can be on the model. Now is it a texture made from a photograph or is it painted by hand (imho the mix of both is the best) i don't really care. All i care is the final output.
So to sum up my goal is not to make a wood texture in photoshop from scratch and make it perfect, my goal is to texture a deformed box and render a great wood peace.
I am thinking of texturing the model you suggested for the challenge. That way i can practice texturing and we can have a scene for the challenge -

26 Apr 2010nice idea!
-
27 Apr 2010wow really nice textures.....animate that puppy dude...........
-
27 Apr 2010triplej96 Thanks man.
kilroy thanks a lot. Will do one day -
29 Apr 2010This helicopter has to fly! Too good to be left on ground. Your texturing seems to me very pretty. But only because I myself have no such texturing skills. Hard for me to point what could be better. So I will just say that in heli I like it's metal scratchiness and especially are around cabin door where sort of metal layer is off and you can see layer beneath.
How much polys your helicopter weighs? -
29 Apr 2010Thanks to you all. It seems that i did a fair job on this witch i am glad to hear
kashak, i don't know the exact polycount i have the project archived but its a mid poly model. See the thing is that the pannels, the bolts, the stripes and all of those things are displacement. So i am not really happy about rendering animation with displacement so thats the main reason i think. Again i might render something for the reel. -
