The random model thread!

wtf is up with your concrete glass? lol take some of that depth and put it into your door handle

[Rick_D]

elaborate?

[amckern]

i think he means the bumpmap you used on the glass seems to be to high polly compared to the door handel that seems to be 2d texture detail.

[Rick_D]

Yeah, got some nice tips from PhilK in irc, kinda tweaked around with it:

[von*ferret]

I mean your glass looks like wavy and prickly. It looks like you took a peanut butter sandwhich and put the pieces of bread together, took one side off, and took that as a normal map. The glass looks wierd.

[Skjalg]

actually, theres a door back at my old house (back of the garage) that looks excactly like this... especially the window^^

[Rick_D]

Yeah, I based the glass on a photo so it should look like the kind of glass I wanted it to, and that is that kind of really bumpy glass that distorts everything viewed through it. My normal map is pretty smooth on the glass area:

Not amazingly smooth, but doesn't strike me as very prickly.

Will you be giving me some tips on how to fix it (or do it 'properly') or just sit there telling me how not to make sandwiches?

[Nysuatro]

maybe a sharpened layer over it in overlay ?

i used to have that glass in my bathroom (except it was clean, right)

i used to have that glass in my bathroom (except it was clean, right)

but it's glossy from outside and "mixy" inside glass

on this render glass is "mixy" form outside so if you stroke it you will feel non-smooth surface...

I like it, it looks like convincing frosted glass.

I made a couple new models, just to keep it going and keep learning. They are not that good. Im not really satisfied with them. But just to keep you all updated on my tries. The texture on the drums sucks unbelieavle much in my eyes. And the knobs on the drawer are to big.

[Spellbinder]

Oh and a house

[Acumen]

i got one question. if you know yourself that the knobs are too huuuge......

why don't you just scale them down before you render and post the pics in here
