Just a little "visual update" to let everyone know I'm still breathing... and so is the Hawg. :grin:

 

Nowhere near done... but she's starting to look real pretty to these bloodshot eyes!

Thanks guys...

 

I'm about 99% done model wise and will then be turning to texturing... which honestly I'd rather have an rash in my nether-region than do. :blink:

 

Thankfully, I stumbled upon a few new tutorials and a couple tools than is supposed to make my life easier...

 

We shall see.

 

BTW... since I have lots of peoples attention right now... What is the communities consensus (Since I think I only have the internal fortitude to do one scheme myself):

 

1.) Bare metal (Shiny Aluminum)

 

2.) 3/4-tone SEA scheme

I'm working on my bumpapping skills...

 

Sadly, like my textures, they suffer from the 3rd-grader with a fat crayon syndrome that I'm famous for...

Doesnt matter. Once you've created bumpmaps for a given model, anybody can edit them using the texture maps as a template :good:

true, only requirement is to have the normalmaps (=bumpmapping) defined in given material's properties, then our paint band here can go wild with Nvidia tools :good:

Thanks for the offer... I might very well take you up on that! I'm not ashamed to state unequivocally that my digital painting skills are only rivaled by a cross-eye finger painter! :grin:

is Thirdwires Spec/Bump maps the same as most other Games?

 

im able to use BMPs (and even JPGs), for bump and spec map in other games i mod for.

 

In 3ds Max, for bump maps, i use black & white mappings, where grey would be 0, black would be negative height, white would be positive height,

for spec maps, i use black & white mappings, where white is 100% specular, black is 0% specular.

the other games i mod for read these correctly with some minor adjustments.

 

ie..base grey background, panel lines would be black, rivets would be white.

 

Bare Metallic areas would be white, while painted areas black/dark grey.

 

i think i tried exporting Spec and bump maps on one of my models to TW's engine and it didnt work, dont remember..

nope SZ, they have to be converted to Nvidia blue-ish/velvet-ish standard using Nvidia tools from black/grey/white ones, so they look like this:
