This is just the rear engine section of the ship. Been following a concept i found on the net.

As this is a space ship and is not affected by aero dynamic drag I would be tempted to add lots of pipes and heat sinks on the outer sides especially as these are the engines, Chuck a few inspection panels around, and maybe have one or two missing just to make it a little more interesting or if your feeling really brave make a panel looks like it falling off and badly damaged.

Have you set a particular style yet?

I really like the box. Seriously. I think it's the best box I've ever seen for Sci-fi. Granted though, it is just a box.

it has been.. 5 hours? chill out asteric^^ looks well, and since it is, my guess, for a "next gen" game, the polycount is just fine, anyone with an objection is either an liar or very stupid^^ looking good asteric.

Well, 2 days if you count my previous post, just thought i would give you guys a gentle nudge, otherwise if i get no feedback, then there would be little point of posting them up

Haha! I guess that i should have mentioned that in the post.

The normal map is from a HP bake, combined with a small normal pass for the paint and wear and tear created in photoshop.

I like it. Again, some of the best sci-fi I've seen. But again...Just a floor and some boxes. AMAZING floor and boxes...Still just floor and boxes. Still very good though.

I'd like some more complex stuff...Something you can't accomplish with only a few fancy 3DSMax functions.

Yeah, i will be doing more complex stuff but because i plan to take these to FPSC, there is a small poly budget.

True, true.

I do really like them though. I sure hope FPSC doesn't make them horrible like it tends to do.

Your cone looks really nice, but is that a seam I see?

If you are referring to the weird highlighted bit near the right, it is infact a bad normal error, thanks for spotting it though!

I meant this,

looks like a specular or normal issue as the diffuse seems to line up nicely.

Actually, it is the render, i was using an aniscropic environment shader, which for some reason goes overboard with reflections, however there is a direction map slot, but i have no idea what that does.

I think hes talking about the diagonal seam which is barely visable. Sure you can notice it but at a glace in a hectic gaming enviroment, your not going to stop and look at a cone?

The area on the right is lighter than the left with a 1pixel seam in the white area.

Laz, thats what i am talking about too

Managed to fix it though, just added a grey texture in the direction map, and the 'seam' is a lot more clearer as a light reflection now.

Almost done with this, it is dragging on further than i would like, still have a smoothing issue to sort, which i originally thought came from the normals, but it looks to be coming from the mesh itself.

Speed model 2, a railing, all made from 1 solid bit of geo, which means i can add in some cool weld pieces

Lowing the poly count as we speak.

EDIT, looks like i have been too speedy and have forgot to add in and upload an image.

EDIT2, here we go!

Haha yeah, getting a bit too into it i guess, uv map is more or less done so i just have to bake it down, and then texture it.

Pretty good, but the grunge and rust on this texture is a bit overboard... perhaps its the normal map that gives off this effect...

Oh yeah, for some reason the real time shader in max maxes things so very saturated. I think i may port these to UDK.

Thanks for the comments.

nice texture, the normal maps are a bit too strong, but they look ok, maybe you can make them softer, just a bit curious what are you suing to create the textures?
Just a bit offtopics with this one but, dont you get shadows glitches like these ones with your models?

Keep em up, you have real skills dude

For my textures i just use photoshop, but GIMP could probably do it to, believe it or not i am actually close to finishing that long awaited metal tutorial which may help you out. As for UDK you seem to understand how to import meshes ok, think that you could give me a hand, sadly not now as it is 2am so i am just chilling on my mac whilst watching the Blues Brothers.

Actually, the question was a bit stupid , i made it thinking if he used mudbox or 3d coat to paint the texture or a photo edito like photoshop, but at the same time i was asking if he is using the mouse or a digitalizer tablet
I know, a bit stupid and a messed up question

Yeah, for these models i just use good old photoshop for the diffuse and spec, with my mouse.

I get the base normals from the high poly bake in max, and then i pass the details through a filter in photshop and overlay it onto the base normals.
