...I'm texturing all of it with tileable textures just as if it was brush geometry (so you can go really close and still get a sharp texture), and then in the unreal engine I multiply these textures with a single 2048 texture of the entire ship that contains unique details such as rusty areas, seaweed on the hull and tire-marks on the deck. Hope that makes sence ....

You mean, you blend detailtextures over your texture of the ship? Or is it possible to assign different UV Sets to different textures that are applied over each other? For lightmaps i know its possible! If you are using a lightmap and model with maya i would recommend you to use this tool for the Lightmap UVSet: "http://www.renderheads.com/portfolio/UVAutoRatio/" . We used it at the studio for all the lightmaps, since it`s really handy!

The last three days work: A "Next Gen" texture with a rendered normal map.

My goal was to create a texture that should look like about 80% tech and 20% magic, with somewhat of a golden theme. I got very inspired by the Protoss style, but it should still look a bit more done by humans, than this style usually does.

Here`s the pics:

C&C?

Some friend asked me to do a sign for his football fanclub, the "Headhunters Mainz". He wanted to have it typicaly, with some skulls and red/black color theme. I managed not to involve a skull, but the rest should be pretty typical....

yay, mapcore is up again....using this opportunity to show the reworked version of that face:

Me once again, with the next project for my application book. My aim was to create a female head front shot with perfect anatomy in a clinical, almost sterile environment. (The final version of the book will also have a blueish cold feel, and a grid blended over her face, showing that her beauty results from mathematicaly measureable perfect proportions).

After a lot of fucking around with maya hair and pfx (it took me longer than modeling and texturing the girl i guess) i ended up using a normal poly mesh as the strictly tied hair:

Warbies lightmap hack require to create a special UV map manually. That means rearranging all polygons so that they are compatible with my texture layout and his special lightmap layout. Those of you who are familiar with these specific terms might understand the big problem warby had to challenge here.

What does that mean? What is this lightmap hack of Warby you are talking about? Lightmap generation can perfectly be done almost completely by algorithms, if you pay attention to not overlap faces of single UV shells, can`t it?

Anyways, amazing effort behind that project!

The beautyfull cap compliments your long hair in such an amazing way hessi, but i miss the propeller on top of it

Hey, today i finished the final renderings for my Ferrari Enzo High Polygon rendermodel. It`s the first piece for my application map for university.

It`s modeled in Maya and rendered with mentalray.

If i should find the time someday i will unwrap this thingy and give it some fancy individual car paint, a motor, add detail to the interieur and give it a big, huge , let`s say HUMONGOUS boot spoiler!

First HQ render of my Ferrari Enzo, which will be a part of my application map for university. There will be an own thread soon with some other renderings, but since every render takes about an hour, this pic in the WIP thread has to be enough

hmm, texturing on this prop isn`t finished yet, is it?

Cant you assign several textures with TextureIDs on the same model? (Used to work with UT2kX for example), otherwise i would breal up the model into several parts with several textures (If that is possible). Right now it looks like it is way under its possibilities from the texturing side.

Biggest problem is a lack of contrast......windows have same material as the walls etc.......

Hi, i`m currently modeling myself and trying to learn rigging with that. Some minor texture errors and the problem of a flying head head are known to me. Just haven`t modeled the shirt to connect the head with the body yet....

One little wall prop model i made to test with the new UED, but haven`t found the time yet to get familiar with importing it to the new engine.....so, here`s just a render:

Hi, me once again! A picture i painted over the last few days after a photo of a girl i know. Not sure wether the leaving or hiding the blossom suits her more:

nice guitar:D

When i see this stuff, i have some questions about the technic behind Duke3D Models: Are these models 3dimensional meshes consisting of vertices? What limitations do you have concerning the texture (size,fileformat)? Is the level geometry bsp or a comparable format?

none overlapping normalized lightmap-uvsets

What does that mean? Do the shells in this lightmap UVsets overlap, so that the baked lighting information is corrupted?

With which method are UT3 meshes lit? Aren`t they by standard lit with vertexlighting, do they all have (maybe require) a lightmap in their shader which is multiplied with scene lighting somehow, or does the compile do some sort of baking into this UVset in the process?

Is it possible to assign different UVsets for different Slots of the Shader (for example one for lighting and a different one for color, and another different one for the specular)?

It sucks that UT3 refuses to work under Win2k, which prevents me from getting my hands on the Ued3.

From the "artsy" point of view, i like your map.....typical Warby style somehow. High standard from all aspects concerning level design in general...

Quickie which took me about half an hour. Wanted to create something with a consistent charming, soft red tone:
