Well it is clearly based off of the Nerf gun. But still, a very nice model.

Nice texture, but I kinda get the feeling that its too bright or the corner edges of the car aren't rusted up enough yet... Or maybe its the contrasting colors of the finished and not finished parts of the texture ; Can't wait to see it finished

Well the texture is far from finished, but the rust is kind off random on the current texture.

lada 1
lada 2

edit: here is valve's take on a lada-ish car:

(it's one of 5,they all look like lada's, this one in the least trashed)

Henry, that car looks totally neat! keep it coming, maybe you can bake some lights and shadows in the texture if its not going to use shaders for shadows
Btw, thanks a lot for uv maping my glock 18, you have helpedme a lot, i will give you credits in the game and in the forums once i post my work on the texture

no mate thats just the basic low poly no turbosmooth there like i said its only 682 polys the seams your on about are the smoothing groups for the diffenent materials wood , metal etc & the 2 lines down the grip are grooves in the wood this screenie may help you to see it better.

Yeah, i just think you maybe should have gave them more depth on the mesh, so you an tell they are intentional, but you probably can solve this with the texture.

Oh that's looking real nice. but on the specularity map (if you made one) I'd recommend toning it down just a little bit, it's shining a bit too much in the light (like its somewhat glowing on the third pic, second knife. Or is that the lighting in general

Wonderful work henry looks awesome Do you use images for your textures or do you paint them? I've been wanting to ask that question for a while. Although I do notice that you paint lighting onto your textures, this isn't really a huge deal but you're really not supposed to add highlights into the diffuse map since real-time lighting makes those highlights, as well as normal maps, spec maps etc.

Nice work man, if i have to crit something it would be: Pitch black shadows on some places, too dark and monotone.

Some more edge highlighting on the blade would be cool.

You could have overlapped the handle UV's and rendered a rectangle UV map to save space.

Good work.

If you look at the shading on the blade, you will notice that there are very harsh shadows, which are not realistically replicated in real life due to light reflection and ambient light.

maybe he was going for a stylized blade, asteric? that way it doesnt matter and it looks way cooler, but yeah, i see ur point, uf he was going for realism that would be bad

If that was true, one of the key things when painting stylised textures is to not use black, because of the fact that stylisation still follow the basic rules of realism, you will find that for brown materials, dark areas are painted with slight greens, and with metal/greys, you will often find blue.

I use heavy black shadowing in my work. It is classed as stylisation, a style can be anything you fancy every artist has thier own and most can mimic others. He may like the dark lines, i do, i use them all the time in work, even in art class. What it comes down to is taste. It obviously works in this piece so i cant really complain.

So basically you choose a single style and applied it as a generic standard for all others. As for the realism part well i dont think youv studied art, since thats completly wrong.

Gah third edit, im not trying to be a jerk, i just cant phrase it properly.

Oh well, you know more than me, its strange though, because a lot of professional artists over at polycount tell me to never use black when shadowing. I am probably wrong saying it from realism, maybe it is so that it is more interesting to use colour variation, will have to look it up.

yes mate i think i will

theres no black in the texture ,only grays blues & browns.
i have 4 bayonets on my desk right now & all have very dark discoloration on the blades due to age & dryed oil.one even has some black paint on it to help cut down on shine from the metal.

Quote: "Oh well, you know more than me, its strange though, because a lot of professional artists over at polycount tell me to never use black when shadowing."


every artist has there own way of doing things,i never use pure black as in most engines its read as transparent so it would screw up the whole texture.

take a look at this render you will see that most of the dark areas on the blade are from my lighting setup.

Ok, i wll take your word for it. I think the problem is that i am used to more next gen texturing, whilst you do prelighting, which is your style. If i could suggest something, why dont you try out HP to LP modelling, i myself find it rather enjoyable, just something i thought that i would put out. I say this because the issue with pre-lit textures is that if there is a light source beneath the knife, it sort of ruins the whole effect, however if you slacken up on the pre-lighting and use more next-gen shading, combined with small pre-lit texturing, you can pull it off quite nicely. However i dont want to take you away from your favourite style if thats what you enjoy.

Henry,
could you post a closeup of the dent in the blade on the wire model?

such geometry is always breaking my back, I'd like to see how you do it.

yeh could be, dont get me wrong i always appriciate your crits but like you say we have our own styles,(of course mine is better lol )

just joking mate.i have done some hp 2 lp stuff but i think its important that i learn the basics of low poly game modeling first before i move onto nextgen stuff ,ive still got a lot to learn on lastgen before i move on im not what you would call an arty person & its taking me a long time to learn the skills i feel i should have before i move on.

im in no real rush as i only do this as a hobby ,i couldnt afford to take the pay cut needed to get a job in the 3d modeling world anyway .

i should think by the time i get to nextgen it will be lastgen anyway lol
