Xendrox's Models

[Springheel]

Looks great!

 

Something about the curved back of the chair looks a bit modern to me, almost like a computer chair. Maybe it's just the angle.

[XendroX]

I think it will be another chair, this one was an experiment about polycount on chair ))) Sprengheel, have you looked models in game?

Not yet. I'll try to get to it today.

[Bikerdude]

@Xen, those bedroom models look so good, keep up the good work!

[XendroX]

Thanks))

Hammerites bed, will be good to know different opinions because I stucked in the "back of bed" (near pillows) and not sured about gold hammer icon in front...

 

[SteveL]

I love the design of the headboard at the back.The legs work really well too. Like you, I think the logo at the front is a little bit too eye-catching.

FYI they're called "Builders". Hammerites are Thief IP.

[XendroX]

Maybe logo I leave only in normal map and specular, but without it - looks too simple. Good to hear about headboard (new word in my speech %)), because my wife unlikes it strongly and says that it looks like cannibal style %)

 

About Builders I remeber, thanks

[Springheel]

And there's nothing wrong with hammer icons, but their main symbol is a hammer/gear combo.

When apearing gear, next are MetalAge remembers for me, that why I used circle

[XendroX]

Not bad too, even more atmospherical

[SteveL]

Re the headboard: a subtle suggestion of the sinister is good. Like the mediaeval church, these guys have racks in the basement after all :-)

 

This thread deserves a better title, so people see it. I'm not sure if you can change a thread title, but if you plan on making much more stuff you should have a "XendroX's models" thread.

[Springheel]

Looking good!

[XendroX]

Ok 2 opinions are enough. )) Will be "gearbed" ))...

 

About topic name - I don't know how to do this and I think its necessary... )

[Skaruts]

That bed looks really cool. I'm not too sure about the gold hammer either. It seems to stand out too much like SteveL said. However, if that's supposed to be the bed from some high-ranked pompous clergy, then maybe it's fitting.

[XendroX]

I'm want to done with dresser (if this is wright translation) and can't remember is there mirrors in game or not? Have read something about reflections on water, but don't see any mirror...

 

Thanks, Skaruts %))

I put the desk model in-game and I'm noticing a couple things. One, the normalmap is not very sharp. It looks like it's generated from the diffuse rather than a high-poly model. You can get away with that sometimes, but there are some tricks you need to do to make it look good. Your normalmap is picking up all the shadows and surface noise in the diffusemap, which you don't want. See here:

There are lots of tools available as well:

The second issue is that the specular is REALLY strong on the trim. We usually keep our speculars quite moderate, unless it's extremely shiny metal.

 

Also, be careful when you're unwrapping the mesh for the uvmap--there is a lot of stretching on the top drawer of the desk, making the handles a different size from the smaller drawers. You could gain a lot more room on the umap if you re-used the wood texture from the top of the desk for the back (the back is rarely seen anyway).

[XendroX]

Take into account, about "back" - I used it to sides and back %).

 

About normal maps - I tried to made them through LW-> node Normal Cast, but its working is independent of me %((

Then I take crazybump, but don't played much with it yet...

[Springheel]

Make sure you read that link. It's got great advice about normalmaps. Your normalmaps look like this:

 

 

 

When you want them to look like this:

 

[Diego]

Looks great ingame! good work

[XendroX]

Full of reading and getting new experience Thanks.

If you show patience, maybe I learn how to make good normal maps %)

 

Never need them in inerior visualization (((

[XendroX]

Results of tries %))

 

To avoid small detailed garbage I posprocessed image like this. Is it correct?

 

Then I made normal map and atfirst test in in CrazyBump that show such bugs

 

 

And then I tested it in DarkRadiant and have other vary of bug - bolts like want to go to center of plane %((((

 

Tried different bakings of normal map - no difference still going to center

 

 

Normal map was created with Normal cast node from DPkit

[nbohr1more]

Not that it's the proper thing to do for models but the general concensus here is that njob does a better job than crazybump.

[XendroX]

I agree that normal maps from model are better than crazybump's by diffuse map, but I don't understand why they have such behavior.

 

 

Meanwhile in waiting for some explains made hi poly comode(because of lost 1st one %(( )

 

 

 

What you think about making different skins for furniture set? I purpose 3 classic varies - wood (be more yellow in wood), black, white. Maybe someone have another thoughts about it?
