The random model thread!

[-HP-]

Don't overthink the custom normals, just make a sphere around the mesh and transfer the normals of the sphere onto your bush! This trick works for 99% of the foliage.

Super quick edit with the leaf tips, it looks a lot better I agree:

Yeah you got it, usually less shit on the colormap makes foliage looks better, cos it gets repeated a lot.

 

PS. Even the normal map, usually I just blur the shit out of the normal map so it's smoother and reduce the intensity to like 50% or less.

Did you make the hedge in Oasis by the way? Got inspired to change my model again after seeing it

Hehe yeah I know, open source algorithms  will go in and fix them by hand tonight!

 

Edit: while doing this I noticed two stray verts had found their way into my reference branch, jacking up the total tri count by 33%. Crisis averted. All is well that ends well.

IT WORKS! Sorta....I might make the scoreboard work, but it seems like a nightmare that can easily sink a lot of time into and get me no where...

oh please tell me there are chicken sound effects when shot.

More random stuff. Patinated copper downpipe with faux gold trim.

Some old work from junction, and also some new stuff:

[PogoP]

Cool stuff, is that for a Source map or what? I have no idea what Junction is

Carrying on with that random space shiz I was doing a few months back. Wanted to get back into hard surface in preparation for getting back to making lots more art soon. Made a Spacex inspired manned capsule/lander thing. Just a quick Marmoset render, I want to make a proper environment for this thing to set in. Need to do another pass on the decals too, they're a bit all over the place.
