Competition #12 - tores

Sounds like a fun competition so I guess I'll join.

Here's a first wip, I'm almost at 1000 tris and uvmap is done.
the planes are going to be wires if you didnt figure that out.

hopefully it's not to booring. =)

Looking cool man, look forward to the texture

time to get from words to actions... good luck, no crits right now...

Ok I've messed some with normalmaps, I'm not to familiar with them still have some problemareas =)

grabbed from xNormal.

Sorry if they are to dark, I have rather bright monitor. I'll put some lighter up next time.

the alpha maps ain't bad, but do you plan on having the wires flat black, simulate their volume with painted highlights, or will you use a normal map?

tores · 13-10-2007, 07:31 AM

Fabiodan oh I have not really thought about it, very good idea tho, I'll try it with normalmaps later today to se how it looks *stupid me for not thinking about that* thanks

don't do that *stupid me* stuff, you're in this comp to improve your modelling, not solely to make something amazing

- Specularity is looking good.
- Not sure if you have any more polies, but it'd be nice to give the inside of the light some more detail instead of just a yellow blob.
- Street sign might have too thick of a black border.
- Yellow box could use some more detail, logo, scratches, anything really.
- Agreed on normals for the cables.

All in all good work, with some changes could place nicely at the top somewhere

Keep it up !

Ok so I'm getting there, I'm thinking a dark and rainy night. I just want it simple, you think it's ok to have black background? or should I change it, because I just want the ground to fade out to nothing. And the ground is kinda ugly but I don't know if I have the time to make a decent one.

Anyway, made some of the changes you wrote, I think it looks better now.

Hell Yeah Torres, This is looking alot better with the lighting you set up. The new details look nice and more realistic. Only crit I have right now is the reflectivity on the ground, I would turn that off, and the black background looks okay if its a night scene. If your using Max, I would add a little volume fog in the light for more realism. GJ!
