The random model thread!

[Sigma]

Just sharing what I am currently working on. This is following Tim Bergholz's tutorial with exception to the final smooth operations for the high poly creation. This was just a screenshot of the successful test bake with a simple material slapped on there. I am hoping to finish this within the next week or two (handle, completely custom materials/textures). I am going to do a energy type slicing blade I think.

Just another model for the scene i'm trying to build inside the ue4

Making progress. I am understanding this process more and more again. YAY!

This is probably the wrong thread for it, but to answer your question: In this texture pack by @TopHATTwaffle, there are some building textures you could apply to skyscrapers made of brushes: http://www.tophattwaffle.com/downloads/real-world-textures/

Also - and probably more relevant - @MrTwoVideoCards and @holiestcows released their assets of Junction which include some nice skybox models:

No matter what you use: Always give credit to the creators

Made this low-poly Unity scene just to try out some hand painted workflow with the Unity setup. Fun stuffs! 



Edit: Used my lantern at home for ref.



Edit 2: Made a gif this morning before work with a point light animation. I know, the gif doesnt loop.

@KOLARI Looks great dude !!! 

I can see you're having troubles for defining which edges should be hard and which edges should be smooth.

By default, everything is flat obviously ...

And when you smooth your object, everything is smooth, not depending from any angle between the faces

In Edit mode, select an edge and press CTRL + E, and then Mark Sharp

Finally, you need to change that Edge split modifier you may have used (i'm assuming you're using it), uncheck "Edge angle" and check "Sharp Edges"

Then, you'll have full control over which edges are sharp and all the others will be smooth.

I hope that helps

 

I recently discovered by accident that checking Auto Smooth in mesh properties will give you the same effect when you mark sharp edges, so no need to edge split at all. Auto Smooth will only apply to the faces you have marked as smooth. Blender is a conundrum to me sometimes. Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I figured I'd mention it just in case.

Oh ok nice, thanks

 

[grapen]

By no means anything special. I'm just happy I managed to texture a model entirely in SD. One year ago I could barely make and texture a cube. The prospect of where I'll be in another year from now excites me

A little critique @grapen: The wall texture looks very nice, as does the texture of the door trim. However, it blends very easily into the wall texture due to the geometry. Consider widening that so that it stands out a little bit more and takes advantage of any AO you have. Secondly, the top of the arch needs refinement as the point is jarring and the texture seam is noticeable. I suggest you create another separation piece there, as this would likely be done in real life (grout straight up and down). This will mask the natural seam and add a little bit of additional realism to the piece. Other than that, great job!

Random stuff I am working on, need to redo the rock texture....but man, I'm diggin messing around with hand painted stuff.

EDIT: I ported it into source for shits and giggles...

I don't think I'll ever get to finish this one but I felt like sharing it.
