The random model thread!

@ penE : where can we grab them ?

Cool thanks ! I hadn't understood that these were included in another map !

I thought it was another version of the train's models to replace them in the official map.

Made a lot of adjustments to the textures. Tried to make the edges more uneven in the normal map(though I may have been too careful), and added this to the specular as well. Highlighted edges in the specular more and fixed some colors and added "damage" around the bolts in the diffuse. Went from a default material to an architecture and design material in 3ds max and it seems that these are all steps in the right direction. I am however having a hard time actually getting some good renders out of 3ds max no matter how high my precision and final gather settings are. I'm thinking it's the lighting as I haven't really spent much time on their settings.. I've tried moving the lights around a lot, but with no luck. Here's what it looks like now(definitely more metal to it now?):

 

 

The self-illumination won't shine like it did with default materials though. I guess I'll have more luck with a decent look if I go ahead and get this into a game engine!

 

So is this actually better or did I screw it up?

[Vilham]

There should be a mapcore database for reference and models tbh. Would be very helpful.

[mjens]

Try it in the game engine. Still looks like plastic stuff.

Oh heh, lack of sleep  .

There you go moroes, feel free to use them wherever you want:

Been getting into procedural geometry generation with a cyberpunk theme. Written in c++ and OpenGL

 

Here's some gifs from the terrain module and a cube module.

Hehe thanks !

That's badass Alex!

Thanks

 

Forgot to mention but it's also audio aware. So those orange flashes on the second on are occurrences of a bass beat being detected. Eventually the idea is to make the system music-reactive. 

 

That said my beat detector code is crap right now and barely works. I have to implement something far more robust than what I have now (I need to consider the history of the song rather than the exact moment).

Cool stuff Alex, looking really freaky! Good luck with audio awareness, would be really nice if you nailed it!

Ok so I imported the model and textures into UDK and set up a material. Immediately got better results(I'm so shit at 3ds max rendering!!). What do you guys think?

 

 

Also note that the models aren't scaled in 3dsmax to fit UDK. They're built in inches, to be useable for Natural Selection 2.

[mjens]

Max rendering is shit, no worries

 

Still there's lack of specular. Still it's not like metal. Here are some refs:

Metal is hard go get in game engines. You can use env map (cube map), fix specular a bit and maybe it will work. Again, it's hard do get a nice metal look...

[kab]

Thanks for feedback seir!

 

But actually maybe I just don't get it. All my edges are shiny(depending on angle / lighting of course). And the bolts are shiny. I can also see the metal base surface details, which is an overlay in both the normal map and specular map as well, but maybe just a bit less than they should. Do you really mean that there is a lack of specular, or that the specular is just wrong? I can't see where it needs to be more or less:(

 

If I go up more on the specular now, people's eyes will burn. But then again maybe they are supposed to?

[PogoP]

Try adding an environment map to it, should help sell the metal effect a bit more. And do more with your lighting too, it still looks quite dark.

 

Where are these pieces used? They look super clean!
