Vomika's Diary

[Vomika7]

Hey guys, I couldn't find an appropriate place to upload some stuff I've been working on so here it is!

[9/10/15]
I only started doing some serious work maybe a week ago and here's what I got.

Completed Anvil prop:

I guess I'm going to be sharing my progress through here now.

bobs burgers disappeared

new mesh and higher resolution maps, looks pretty nice. but i might scrap it in favor of something of a better and unique design

Don't scrap it. I think it looks good.

 

[Vomika7]

decided to work on something that would be more useful in the immediate future.

Holy shit! If this is the baseline quality...


Nice job, man!!

 

[ceriux]

they need to get your stuff ingame asap. I will drop all games / stuffs I'm doing just to play mss especially with your models.

 

[Vomika7]

so after looking through a million tutorials on skin textures i finally have my first hand partially textured!
maybe like 50 percent done with the diffuse right now.


HYPER UPDATE!

(yeah thats in game haah)

Hyper realism! Also was that pokemon snap music?

Edit: Found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvJLwmSokzs
I recognize those instruments anywhere!

 

[enter560]

What program do you use to edit those videos? Just curious.

 

[Vomika7]

Very nice. Some questions, are those in game shots just using just diffuse shading and a normal map? And by in game do you mean (Source 1) ,SFM, Gmod and the like? If this mod is going to be for source 2 will that support pre-computed subsurface scattering? From what I have been reading that is ideal for skin textures.

The real next step, however, is learning how to bone and animate it.

These videos are just creepy as all hell though.

The pokemon music helps

 

[Vomika7]

The models are in game in one of my test maps, it's got a diffuse, normal map and a phong exponent map. I don't know if source 2 will support subsurface scattering, it would be nice but at the moment it's really not that necessary.

I've spent a few days on animating, I know the basics well enough it just might take some time to get pro at it.

I thought it would be nice to be able to choose the color/pattern on your shirt when creating your character, so post some patterns you guys want to see because im about to start texturing this.

 

[Thothie]

Be nice if it matched your armor, but I can't think of an easy way to do that without doing that lazy thing where your player model is your viewmodel, which tends to look like arse.

 

[Vomika7]

already considered and im totally down with making crazy high res versions for view models.

 

[enter560]

I know you don't have a texture yet. And the current one is just a placeholder. However you should really turn down the specularity on that. It makes the fabric so shiny as to look plastic.

In case you need inspiration for more props to complete the area around your anvil, I will link some pictures I took at a local museum over the weekend. My favorite is the double-acting bellows.
