The random model thread!

Decided to play around with the art side of unreal 4. This is a photo-matching, lightmass study. Still has work to do.

Lessons learned :

-When using multiple monitors make sure the color profiles are the same! That's why my version is too saturated. I was looking at the reference on a significantly warmer monitor than the monitor I was working in. Very weird as they are identical monitors but one uses HDMI and the other uses DVI. I will have to look into that.

-Proportions are still off. Still working on that.

-I need to learn cameras in unreal because I'm wasting time trying to get the angle by hand

Anywhoo

dat light bounce

You know it. I"m fighting the urge to use point lights to fill in the dark spots with every fiber in my body.

Still got a ways to go. I think SSAO is messing up some of the lighting and I'm going to look into removing it.

Hey men !

There's a small wall border at the bottom on the left photo. Are going to add it ? (eagle eye type stuff right here).

Also note its imperfections

Definitely. I'm also going to fix the other 5 massive ugly issues in that image such as the light bleed on top, the dark spot on the bottom and the shadow softness issues.

really nice to see your workflow.

kind of a noob question, I guess: are you cleaning up the different parts in a later step (like deleting the backfaces of those nuts :XD:)?

could you say at what minute/sec specifically?

Atrium I'm working on.

I'm working on BB-8 from the new Star Wars film.

Interesting video Kanine. Only thing I would recommend is using the symmetry modifier way more often. Currently you are doing many steps 2 times for both sides instead of simply letting the modifier handle that automatically.

Sure. For example those nuts that you add in 14:00. Wouldn't you delete the faces that are touching the weapon (or whatever) to reduce the polycount?

Another example may be that bracket that you start building at 13:45. As far as I can tell it has faces on it's underside that could savely be deleted, right?

I'm just curious.

It appears I raped my computer when trying to export my model into a .dmx, I figured I might have gone too far into detailing, how much details should one do for a model? My .blend file is weighing 10mo btw...

It's the hipoly model that's going to be baked down to the low poly, polygons aren't a thing to worry about at this point.
