No, this isn't for BMS. It's for Operation Black Mesa, a remake of Opposing Force. :)

A train I textured for plague, which he modeled. there is no normal or spec, its the shader. Also I see my seam, so I'm going to fix that.

As a forklift driver :iamafag:, that pallet would never be stacked like that. Id be on its side. Just for your accuracy.

[Hunter]

Decided to clean my AR up a bit seeming as it is an old model and poorly modelled. It seems alright now. 3843 Triangles, may lower it as the detail on the right side of the weapon is not seen and can be removed. But it is under 4K which i want.

[Rentafence]

You're going to have seams all over the place with an unwrap like that.

[Hunter]

Hmmm, I see your point. I was thinking that whilst unwrapping. Dam it, will sort it out tomorrow, can't be arsed now.

[Invader Veex]

I never really try to make a render with anything more than a diffuse and sometimes specular, so I was just randomly messing around to try and make a decent looking render.

[Roostervier]

The "dull" metal parts look a bit cloudy and lack any kind of scratches, dirt, grime, or other detail in general.

[BobtheGreatII]

If you're trying to make a good render... I would suggest trying to make it as life-like as you can. Like rooster just said, adding small details always help. Also, if it were me, I would make the energy sections glow a bit. Also it needs a background and what not.

Doing an SMG texture for WM.

Only part that is done is the suppressor, everything else either hasn't been touched or is still being worked on. He requested that the indents in the grip be red.
This is the third texture I've ever done and it'll be the only one I've finished thus far when I'm done.
Diffuse only. Texture on the clip is a placeholder.

WIP magnum texturehttp://img259.imageshack.us/img259/7237/skin2v.jpg probably sucks tho cuz this is my first real skin besides a couple of metal textures and a horrable paint skin.

[Futzy]

You do the detail like that with a normal map not bevels. Never use bevels.

[n00ber]

if your talking about the models tetail, then its the unedited bungie model. I cant use bumps in halo anyways because you need a light source like a flashlight or sompthing to see it.

[Horns]

No he's talking about the texture details. Like around the grip, you used bevel to make the bumps and whatnot. Don't do it. Bevel sucks. It never looks good.

[n00ber]

i dont realy know any other ways to make fake bumps because im a total photoshop noob. but im redoing the grip anyways

[Horns]

I consider myself a photoshop noob too. I've only been doing it for about a year. Also, is it just me or is that texture low res? The spots where you did use bevel look extremely jagged.

[n00ber]

texture is 512 by 512, ive been doing photoshop stuff for... maybe a couple of months.

You definetely don't want pre-defined lighting.

That texture is a bit too dark, and there isn't enough contrast to see the individual parts. It almost looks like one solid mass.

I love how your crit means nothing. every time.

What I THINK heathen meant to say is that it lacks detailing in both the model and the skin. I myself am not a good skinner, I couldn't tell you exactly what needs to be done here, but the grip its self should not be just a simple texture. It needs the detailing in the grip, and some wear and tear to match the rest of the gun couldn't hurt. For a first weapon skin, I'd say it isn't too bad.

[Corndogman]

Besides the fact that you've been banned more times than I care to count, that looks pretty good.

you know you're only using about HALF of your texture right?

you should try to get some better UV's in there. that being said, you can mirror the sides and what i guess are the front and back as well, saving you even more space, letting you put in alot more pixels on the same surface.

[rossmum]

I dunno if this is entirely right (or at all legible), but here's what I would've done assuming I wasn't totally incompetent with 3DS:

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm258/rossmumv2/uv.jpg

...and there you go. Half the map space used, meaning you could expand what you actually need to fill the whole thing. Better detail on the texture, better map usage, better all round.

You need to define the edges a bit more, but the edges on the silencer a waaay to defined. Looks nice though, different shades of black give it a nice effect.

The model looks good but I do like the sight on the model. Nor the front grip. Will you have a god at texturing my ODST Silenced Pistol?

The SMG looks pretty nice though.

I didn't change the lighting when I did that view, so the light was still coming from above and caused a shadow on the silencer and such. Model was made by Floyd.
I've got a bunch of stuff to do right now, it's taken by me like a week and its still not done. Now I've got even more to do with being the head of the graphics department at my school newspaper and having to stay after school every other day or so. Then I've got all this AP shit I have to do. So ya. Don't think I could get your pistol done in any close timeframe.

...You had to bake that?

Dear god.

On top of that your "diffuse" is severely lacking. It doesn't look like anything, just some vaguely metal (or is it stone?) noise and scratches on top of some simple colors.

[MetKiller Joe]

My only complaint is not enough detail on the diffuse (looks very bland from a distance), and I would also fix how it is tiling. Right now, it is very apparent where the texture ends relative to the Z-Axis.

I don't have much experience texturing, so I'm sure somebody else could give you even better advice; but that's my two cents.

because i dont know how to do anything else :fail:

And if you mean baking as in modeling it then turning that into a normal map then yes, thats what i did.

Fine, legitcrit:

It looks entirely too plain. It looks like a stone texture applied to a model with a brown handle texture. Add some details. Look at other pistols and try to think about whats missing. You don't need to copy others exactly, but look at their finer details and see what yours is seriously lacking.

The only part that is done is the suppressor, and maybe the stock and the bottom part, nothing else. The middle just has a base texture applied to it for the time being. But yes, I will work on it.

[Spartan094]

Mehhhhhhhhh, [shot] tag them instead of hidding them. Don't like to use that scroll bar at the bottom. Ehh textures look fine I guess. Not much of a skinner but it looks ok.

[teh lag]

It doesn't look so much like a destroyed city as a mesh of a city that someone tried to mess up in hopes that it would look "destroyed". The second picture in particular... Idk what could make a solid metal (concrete?) sign bend like that but it looks horribly wrong. It could just be the UVing, but the sidewalks (I think that's what they are?) too look really sloppy. The building in picture 1 looks okay, but otherwise you've got a lot of work to do.

[Llama Juice]

http://www.modacity.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=157&pictureid=1190

That wall looks more like tinfoil with a rock texture on it than a destroyed wall. There's no form to the destruction, no reason for the different stuff being broken... and how does a broken part of a wall stick OUT that far without being a part of a rock that fell off or something? It looks almost as if the entire wall melted a bit tbh.

Look at pictures of destruction, use those as reference for what you want yours to look like.

[rossmum]

Concrete or stone walls collapse or crumble, they don't deform like that. Hell, I doubt even a metal wall would unless some very specific conditions were met.

yeah, I already removed it when I had the conversation with Moses.

Also its not a hemisphere, its an extrude with the internal vertices welded to 1 point.

Also, the sides of the pump are at a pretty terrible angle, and the ribs on it are pretty bad as well. Same crit i gave hunter about his pump. Fix it, it's really bad :ohdear:

Do you think it needs rays off the clouds, if so, can someone point me in the direction on how to do so and or link to a tut.

The clouds don't look very convincing. They look a bit too grainy, and those higher/lower concentrations of cloud just don't look too great. If you want that kind of stuff, I'd suggest either subtler colors or transitions.

Also, the clouds' silhouette isn't very apparent; it is there, but not as pronounced as it could be. The sun is also somewhat lacking (it looks like a simple glowing sphere, but not all that realistic).

I am liking the colors and the tree, but the execution just isn't all there.

I've been experimenting with MudBox as I had some time this morning. This is about a 20-30 minute sculpt.

If you can guess what it is, I'll feel better about the time used; otherwise, its back to the drawing board:

Use stencils bro. (http://www.pixelcg.com/blog/?p=446)

[MetKiller Joe]

If I used stencils, they would be either stock stencils, which need no skill to use, or custom stencils, which would then be taking two steps to arrive at the same goal.

Also, stencils basically seem to be tileable textures that you can paint on to a surface either as an alpha or texture, and sure, that is useful for some things, but not for something like rubble which doesn't really have a pattern to it.

I think it was neuro that said, "Nobody's going to pay you for pressing a button."

Vagina chin.

[teh lag]

The chin doesn't look right. In the concept it seems to be more "blocky" or flat in front, while yours is smooth all over.

[Futzy]

Looks very nice disaster.
In the concept it looks like the sides of the chin bulge out and then the lips are thin and puffy. In yours it looks like the chin and lips have nave no visible difference.

Another shot at the train station.
I've tried to make it less cardboard-y by taking out a massive chunk of the roof.
Also, I was thinking back to the Domain betas way back when and remembered how a single entrance to any structure is bad news when it comes to Oddball camping. As such, I added in a tiny hole near the base of the Train Station which leads into the station itself.
While it's not readily apparent in the render, there IS some rebar supporting that tiny hole, the render's just at a bad angle.
Personally, I don't like the hole, but I have to have at least 2 entrances to preserve gameplay, and I can't think of any way to make it look good.
So I'm looking for your guys' opinion on both if I had succeeded in making it any better and how I can make that hole look nicer.

The chest isn't done. The muscles there weren't supposed to be complete. More of a guideline showing the general shape and area of them. Its a massive WIP. I'm still changing the whole bodies proportions. The neck has been fixed along with alot of the facial proportions.

[neuro]

can't believe nobody bothered to do a paintover here

http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt312/Neurologicaldisorder/stuff/notabletftl.jpg
most obvious errors are in that image.

it sucks pretty hard because i don't have a tablet here, but i guess it shuold point out the most obvious lines in a fair enough manner.

you should proceed by defining the shapes of the head more, like the jaw-line for example, and the muscle thign going from the corner of the mouth to the nose.
just define the shapes in general more, then when you've got the most of it in there, you can start to actually sculpt smaller things into it.
the cavity in the side of his head.
just add muscle to where it should be, and smooth it out a bit, dig in the cavities in his cheek-area, then start to paint in some of it's tendons there

general rule of thumb in zbrush, is to just go from big to small.

After having taken in some crit some snaf and some advice from Deephunter i've remade my monitor shell.
The mesh is alot more clean now not as crimpled as it was i've not long started adding detail as i plan on makiing the mesh fairly high res or atleast higher res than halo 1.
I've got a side by side comparison of my old monitor mesh next to the new one.
I wont say which is the new one and which is old as i want to see who thinks which is newer, if my older mesh looks better than my new one then i know im doing something terribly wrong.

And, while we're at it, anyone know how to make Max listen to Alpha channels in .tif files and block out what isn't needed? The graffiti placed in that pic has an ugly black box around it, and while I know it won't be ingame, it annoys the fuck out of me.

[=sw=warlord]

English mobster if you think the one on the right is better then i've stuffed up pretty badly.
The one with less detail to the left is the newer one.
I've decided to try and model the halo 2 monitor instead of halo 3.
Also while im here.
Anyone able to tell me for what ever reason the UV wrapping tools are all greyed out?
Im trying to unwrap my monitor and everything is greyed out for some odd reason.

[MetKiller Joe]

If you open the material editor and go to the "Opacity" box, you should be able to put a bitmap there and it will automatically use that texture's alpha.

a bit stiff/snappy/unnatural at the ammo belt insertion and the feed cover closing, but overall a very cool stylized animation.

[ODX]

Very nice looking animation ICEE, I like the style and flow of it from when he knocks the...ammo box(?) out of it to when he makes a little jump with the gun over to the position where he lifts the top. The insertion of the ammo box could use a bit more movement with the gun, and at one point, it looks like it just goes over the same motion twice (during the time in which he's putting the bullet chain into position). I have an idea for what you can do with the bullet chain insertion also so it doesn't look like the hand just sits still (even though I see movement), but for now I must be off to school.

Little update on the monitor.
I've started unwrapping my monitor and started with the eye peice.
If anyone can give some crit on this on how to pack the uv's and how to improve generaly that would be greatly appreciated.
I've used the render to texture feature after reading about it in a book i purchased sometime back.
Also been working on materials as well to try and make the texture seem better.
Sorry snaf about using the same sphere model but after tweaking with the one you suggested it turned out worse than i started off with so i went back to the first.
Theres about 160 polies in the entire eye peice including the mount.

Also, is it just me or do those five stars look of center?

My only gripe, make the fist a different red than the star. Slightly different.

[Corndogman]

Make the T in "Party" the same as the one in "The." Also make the G in the second "dodgeball" uppercase, the same as it is in the first dodgeball.

[Cagerrin]

Well, for one thing, I had to literally remodel every bit of Forerunner stuff. Couldn't work with it since it was 90% non-planar faces. :raise:

Also I have never seen forerunner architecture that uses curves that aren't quarter/half/full circles.

[Chainsy]

yeah you're right, you're not very good at this at all.
Thank you captain obvious, why not help the dude instead of being a dick and pointing out what we already know.

Hmm... I'm not really one to say much about website design, but it seems kinda... Plain. I don't know exactly what's missing, but it needs some detail in the background somehow. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm working on a cover of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. I want to know which version of it you guys like better.
I've been playing the guitar for about a year or so now, although I'm entirely self-taught (never took a guitar lesson in my life, though I CAN read music).
Also, yes, I know I screwed up here and there, so sue me. I don't have any fancy audio editing software and this was recorded in real-time using a headset mike. I think it sounds kinda good, though, aside from where I hear myself fucking up and playing a fret too high or only strumming one of the two strings I'm supposed to strum.

It MAY still be processing.

That sounded terrible. Partly because you have a bad amp and I'm guessing you have a cheap guitar, although, a bad amp can make a good guitar sound like shit.

Find the Iron man tabs, this song isn't difficult at all.

[Heathen]

loooks good juice

[English Mobster]

Iron Man was the first song I learned to play, from that very site.

And the amp is kinda cheap, I think it was $75. Guitar was mid-range, price-wise.

So after realizing that it'd be a pain in the arse to convert the Forerunner erection Immolate had to be more like the Halo 3 version, I figured I'd go a different direction with the wall on that side.

O hai thar, thatz mah map u got thar

Looks good! I like your forerunner, looks muy bien. Also, are you remaking parts of immolate? Because I'd like to know :3

[Cagerrin]

Just the Forerunner parts. So far I've got this wall and a rough version of the other wall/room.

You're absolutely welcome to the models, but they're probably not much use since I model in Sketchup.

[Advancebo]

The top of that looks a bit plain.

Also, made this, as seen in "Halo 3 ODST ViDoc 3 Bip Bap Bam"

[Cagerrin]

Noticed that while it was rendering, did a few tests. Due to the overhang of the lower wall, pretty much any detail up there is useless.

I mean I could still do it, it's not like I have to worry about polycount or anything...

looks good but its a little TOO scratchy, and all the bricks are one size, which you wont see often.

[MetKiller Joe]

THe low res mesh is sitting at 6k triangle per piece.

Does piece mean that wall or the individual bricks?
