so built a wall, baked it and gave it a diffuse pass as well. I need to redo a few things and add the icky goo between the brick rocks and re-render it all but I’m calling this test a success cuz it turned out pretty cool.
Here’s a picture, rendered in maya. The true up side of having custom built bricks will be for the none-basic tileing textureing but rather building destruction and custom assets such as the tunnelopening in the scene.
Title says it all, no?
I made the low poly, uvmapped and baked all but two bricks yeasterday and today is my ”Day off” (as in, run around the apartment and clean it the fuck up)
More progress tomorrow or so, but here’s a maya render of the 6 bricks, front and back.
I noticed some shading bugs on the bricks when i rendered that wasnt there in regular viewport but I’ll wait and see if they’re there in the game engine too before i actually try to do anyhing to fix it.
Baked another two bricks and built a little wall using ’em. So this wall is a total of three brick meshes, rotated and what not to break it up. Here’s a render.
The big white box is as tall as a character. Another 5 bricks are on the way!
Finished sculpting the bricks (I think, might return to them later on) and even managed to make a lowpoly asset and bake normals and ambient occlusion on one of them today.
Here are ZEH PICTURES.
Making a bunch of high poly bricks to be used in the Tunnel entrance asset. First sculpting pass is done, here’s the result.
Going to make a few more that are more generic than these ones and a few that are more broken later on.
Sculpted the mountin with my NEW AWESOME INTOUS 4 TABLET (LARGE)
it’s Awesome, here’s a pic of the mountai. Screengrab from mudbox, high poly asset.
Worked more on the power station house. Got a few more props and details to add to it but I’ll leave it for now. I still got ”plenty” of room in the texture for smaller details.
It uses a single 512×1024. Screengrab from maya viewport
Worked some more and replaced a bunch of mockups with actual assets, with mock-up textures. All these pictures are from Maya viewport.
render bug on the mountain ftw
Cube is for scale, its 180 cm
Todays update.
So I gave it an hour and just threw some color on there and poked around the assets a litle bit.
Taking the rest of the day off from working and just gonna kick back with a puzzl-beer.. A cold beer!
At this point i’ve spent about 16-18 hours on this project (10 on actual production, rest on baking)
So this post I bring you the news of yesterday, TODAY!
Yea, it’s new and a bit exciting (and just a repurcusion of forgetting to post yeasterday, but shhh….)
Going to spend today making a fast texture pass on the mountain set and then move on to the other assets in the scene.
I will have to go back and tweak the highpoly and rebake the low poly down the line but after I got the mock texture on it is good enough for get started on the rest of the assets
Smell lovely, don’t they…
Pictures, pictures pictures. First out is a screengrab from Unreal engine 3 with the low poly asset using a temp diffuse texture and first bake from the highpoly. Gonna have to rebake it cuz of stretching but it shows some progress.
Diffuse looks like crap atm, just threw on a random rocktexture from CG texture so that is subject to change
Below are a few screengrabs from maya after having baked the second peice.
