Try using winrar, I never have any problems opening compressed files.

[lefix]

i am, seems working now, but it said the archive was corrupted earlier :P

[Tiros]

Hmm, seems like I'll be the one to start this then

This is the first "Realistic" piece I've done in ages! Always went for some kind of semi-cartoony/fantasy'ish style on everything

Didn't finish, never had time to do all the signs as I planned on, and as they're rushed they turned out pretty crappy, which really lets down the whole piece imo. But, better luck next time I guess.

Cheers!

Umm, I'm sure this is a very dumb question, but how do you get the textures to show for the screenshot? I always thought you needed to render your object in order to see the diffuse, spec, and normal maps.

[Soulis]

If your in 3dmax you can hit the 'render texture in viewport' button in the material editor. If your in Maya you can just hit 6 to show textures.

the file won't open for me? It has no extension i'll try changing it....

tried .max and .obj, can't get it to open?

Help kthx.

*EDIT*

My fail i fixed it...appearently i had to click on the file inside of winrar and it goes into another sub directory lol. It didn't have a folder and it said FILE so how was i supposed to know -_-

Machacha8: Just use Doylle Viewportshader if it's max you're using, for maya.. whatever Soulis said

Bobbeh: Rather than opening the file, you should import it to your 3d app

Hi. I'm new here and have been texturing for about a 2 months. I figured that I should enter the contest to learn more about texturing. If I'm doing something wrong please tell me. I would really like to further my skills in texturing seeing as its something I'm passionate about.

Anyways, I was pressing on time and I had to through together the normal maps and specular maps at the last moment.

I created a base steel layer pretty much that would rely on everything else. Then I just furthered and painted on the details. Rust and scratches were custom brushes I made so not much work there. Pretty much a relatively easy texture to make. Just took some time.

My entry:


Maps:


Time: 90 Minutes
Maps Used: Diffuse, Specular, and Normal
