Epifire Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 @Epifire I was trying to figure out why that room looked so oddly familiar in the picture.. and then I realized that's because it's a section of my current WIP I sent you long ago for a custom model you did for me haha That new model looks fantastic btw! Oh yeah, whoops! I just ended up putting my random test models in there as I was messing with lights and found a setting I liked with that room. I actually had a shot in-engine (with that same location) with the rest of the room cropped out and some added text decor so I doubt anyone noticed it was in-game. Thanks a bunch for the kind words all. I'm glad it's been received well, as you're the folks I make this stuff for! 2 Quote Modeler galore & co-authors literally everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Epifire Posted January 20, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Pardon the double post. Figured out the skins file and tossed together a derelict version today (with some snazzy rusty/dirty normals). I'll hopefully be able to supply some sounds through a friend later. [media=] [/media]Painting normal map information for these transformers has been truly a blast with Substance Painter Wondering if we have any electrical effects? I can't do particles but it would look much nicer if we had an electrical arc that would fit the prop. With that being done I'm wanting to move onto something else.. electrical.

Bikerdude Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I particularly like the middle one, very dark and moody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Looks great! I like the middle one as well. One of the art directions I'm trying to follow is that industrial models should be very desaturated and cold looking, to contrast with the warm reds of mansion environments and the earth tones of city environments. One suggestion--rotate one of the needles so that they both don't point in exactly the same direction (you could also create a new texture that points to a different table so they don't move in sync). As for electrical effects, there are several particles in existence, though I don't know what would fit exactly. Use the particle editor in DR to see what's available.

Epifire Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Good points for industrial meshes. I could also alter that needle's position a bit too, which shouldn't be a problem. You can't see it there but the bottom gauge actually points about a hundred mortz higher than the top. In theory a well calibrated unit should have consistent intervals with both pylons reading the same frequency. But we're going to assume whoever uses these just don't give a lick about increasing performance, which would also make a bit more sense if there is any kind of exaggeration in the arc effect. I think (besides UV position) the needle would benefit a lot by just being ran on a tighter rotate time to differentiate between the two. From what I could find there was only that electrical swarm kind of effect for lamposts and such. It didn't look right (as it's a bit too large) on top of the unit. The other one was kind of a specific panner looking one but it still didn't line up because of the 45 degree tilt the pylons have.

RPGista Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 They look stunning, the textures specially are fantastic, its not easy making metal that looks this good, kudos man. I think its awesome youre really putting in the work to make they come to life in every detail, like the glowing meters, the moving gauge, and now the particles.

Stands slightly under head height. Here's a comparison... EDIT: Also! We have a sound in the works (one of two). This is a base layer idle/active sound that I specifically wanted separate. If we ever include anything later that requires a starting sequence this can be started in first... http://www.mediafire.com/listen/7li9baxsirqp4so/electrical_transformer_loop.wav We'll finagle with the volume later as it's still a little quiet, but I'm happy with it so far. It doesn't loop yet but we'll hopefully have that done with an arc sound for the beam. I have no hand in the sound creations, so this I credit to my friend Evan Thornton who has been happy to lend a hand. He's into writing and recording music and novels which are even on his own site: http://www.fallenproductions.net/ So yeah all I need now is to find someone who can help me with the particle effect.

Popular Post Epifire Posted January 30, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Done with the major baking, soon to texture tomorrow. My overly complex take on the Harbour Spotlight, has five various cranks and levers. One for on/off, pitch/yaw, pitch lock and of course the large rear crank to loosen the front cover hooks. Should stand about 180 units high, and is about 4.8k polys for the whole thing... Taken from within Substance Painter Hopefully I'll have it done and in-engine tomorrow.

Melan Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Very elegant work, Epifire! Love the detailing. How about a separate spotlight object (without the support structure and the hanging box), in a smaller and larger size? That could be a versatile prop.

How about a separate spotlight object (without the support structure and the hanging box), in a smaller and larger size? That could be a versatile prop. Thank you! And for a separate object it just all depends. I'm on the ropes about splitting this one up (for rotation posing in DR) but I could probably use the main body of this if I were to create an alternate version. My only thoughts are what other parts would be present with just the light? My thoughts being, how would it be mounted and positioned. The box is the electrical receiver and is there for balancing the weight for ease of adjusting the pitch axis (in theory anyway). So if I removed that it'd be a bit hard to work around unless I just baked a new texture (which is also possible). Either way, message me more details if you're wanting to get specific.
