latin american shanty

[zaphod]

this is a latin american shanty building I did for an art test. Specs and maps are listed in the pic. The hard shadows are rendered in maya.

Could you take another sceenshot from the back of the scene?

I guess he has to live in a shanty when he has a satelite dish like that

Great work though, looks really nice.

[Mazy]

Looks great, pretty poly effective too

[zaphod]

very awesome

The ambient occlusion is rendered on a different map channel i presume? I need to figure out how to do that .

watch that. The ambient occlusion map was new to me too but it's such a cool thing to use wether you can actually use it as a map in the engine or you just bake it into the diffuse map, it really provides a nice effect. The only downside is that you can't have any overlapping uv's.

I will post a few more views in a bit I think.

I'm very impressed you managed to fit all that onto a 1024, fantastic work.

[zaphod]

and with no overlapping uv's

took forever to unwrap

[kleinluka]

fantastic work!! can you post the texture?

[zaphod]

I wasn't told exactly how the ambient occlusion map is used by the game engine, but I'm guessing that it acts as a filter as to how much direct light to receive when lit, which probably looks pretty dang cool.

I was gonna say the same thing snipamasta, and @ zaphod you even managed to fit in some blank space

Kudos man, that looks fantastic for such a small map

[zaphod]

lol a few blank spaces yea. This was the first time I have really had to manage uv's like this, I'm used to using multiple maps and stuff like that so this was quite a trial. The unwrapping and arranging uv's took as much time as texturing the dang thing!
