Window Models Request

[sparhawk]

The style is very good, but it looks kind of flat. Maybe that can be solved with texturing and better lighting.

[Renzatic]

Yeah, you're 3/4ths of the way there...but it needs a little extra something to make em stand out.

window 02

[Fingernail]

ouch...that's the highpoly I guess???

 

Looks nice though, lovely details.

[_Atti_]

ok low poly model of 2nd window is ready..its 488poly now..(original is around 3k)

 

so anyone wants to texture it?:Dif yes than in what fileextension you need it?

[kfmccall]

nice work atti, I don't get around to praising the models enough, you guys do a great job, and I forever envy the skills of this team with 3ds max.

[DeepOmega]

You know.... you can probably normal map that, if you're interested. I'm looking at that.. terraced bit around the edges. If you make that a single, sloped poly, and then normal map it, it would work great. You'll never see that part in profile.

 

Of course, might not even cut that many polygons. =P

[BlackThief]

looks fine atti If you can upload it to the ftp I can give it a try tonight.

VD, we really need to see these rendered in some other program, because they are impossible to evaluate as is. This looks totally 2d to me.

 

edit: much better now, thanks.

[sparhawk]

The model looks really good only the lighting is bad. IMO with the proper texturing this window will look really good. You should not use THAT much light. It looks quite overbrightened which makes the model look more flat. Using three lights, one major lightsource, one on the oppsite side with only small amount of light to brighten up the shadows and one small one from the back should help make the model look much better.

[Renzatic]

That's the type of detail we're looking for, VD. Once you get a good texture on and do a bit of spitshining I think it'll be ready to roll.

 

The bit under the window itself looks a little odd, but I think that has more to do with the angle of the picture and you're lighting rather than the model itself.

[V.D.]

Thanks... it was late... very late... so I´ve done no texturing no lightingsetup etc...

[_Atti_]

really nice window VD:)

[BlackThief]

yeah VD, this window looks pretty damn good.

 

@ atti can you upload your window with the normalmap onto the ftp, so that I can start doing textures for it ?

[_Atti_]

okay okay..asap:)

[_Atti_]

I have probems with my internet..sometimes i cant connect to certain sites..i dont know what causes that,..

so... WIndow:

..i mapped it,it looks like it would work but that F**n DAMn normal map just looks like Shit..no mather how much time i spend correcting its damn cage ..and again..i give up..here is the window high/low in .3ds

 

i just dont have practice in making Uwv...thats the deal:)

i searched for tuts but most of them wasnt really good..what would be good for me is video tutorial..anyone knows of any good?

window02.max

[BlackThief]

that's ok atti

deep omega can you please grab the window and generate the normalmap for me?

[DeepOmega]

Do you want that on a simplified model, or just a flat rectangle? It might make sense to do a superlowpoly model for it, since it has such depth.

[BlackThief]

it'll be a model we decided to do some window-models to make it look more realistic.

 

so you just have to uvmap atti's lowpoly model and generate the normalmap.

BTW I think you should mirror it, to save texture memory.

[DeepOmega]

Ahh, ok, here is the source of my confusion. Atti, your lowpoly model is not complete. Is this the whole thing? Or did you send an outdated model?

 

[DeepOmega]

Well, I took it on myself to do it my way . Left is flat low poly model, right is high poly model, middle is normal mapped low poly. I made some changes, because those horizontal things wouldn't work too well as normal maps.

 

 

416 polys.

[BlackThief]

great work - looks really good. but wouldn't it be possible to fake the "trim" (dont know how you really call it) on the bottom with the normalmap? that'd safe about 20 polys

[oDDity]

I think it would look better as one flat poly. At least the mormal map curves would be pefectly smooth, whereas now the the curves on the low poly version are noticably angular.

I mean, 500 polys per window is pushing it.

[TYROT]

dear atti and vd

 

man both jobs are really really cool...Sorry guys i was busy with other stuff i wasnt here..

 

Keep on modelling.!
