Werne Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 make it the most realistic sword ever known in 4k resolution with reflection maps :teehee:4k textures are useless on any standard resolution screen, even 1920x1080, the difference between 2048x2048 and 4096x4096 cannot be rendered on a screen of that resolution. It would maybe make a difference on a 2560x1600 screen, but that's also questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyro Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) On a different note, here's a sword I made in 3ds Max yesterday. I dunno if I should texture it though... http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_images/underground/attachicon.gifnewblade4_gettingthere2.png Hmm, looks nice, but I see some things on the cross guard and pummel that might be problematic, it may just be the lighting though. What's the poly-count of that thing? Also, do you even know how to UV map it? I tred 3DS Max only once, it was awful, couldn't find anything in it. :pinch: Yeah, it was just the lighting. This is the hilt up close and from an orthographic view. The poly count is currently 936, but I haven't triangulated the mesh yet and there's a few areas I could optimise a bit. And yep, I know how to UV map it. :smile:I first need to finalise everything, then merge the pieces and then I can do up a UV map. But texturing... I dunno. I'm not that great of a texturer...

Although, note that the above cleaver is wearing the peak of my current texturing skill. Werne your cleaver looks really well .The blade of this sword could need your touch of that in the centre and a brighter texture at the edge. Maybe some ornaments or different metal types or smiting methods that create different patterns on the metal as well as some different ores. the focus after that goes on hilt and handle and some different approaches for different designs and ornaments on them. (from simple and classic (there is just more than one way for classic in this) to exotic and extravagant are possible.)I like to leave such decisions on the creator of the mesh that wants a texture.It is always good to have some variety to show what is possible with a mesh and a texture.

billyro Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I'll be sure to contact you guys about it then, that would great. I'm currently sorting out the UV maps right now, and seriously, doing that takes for more time than everything else (well, it certainly feels like it). Here's what I've done so far. Still got a bit of work to do on it, then I need to resize all the bits and put them on the canvas. What to do you guys recommend doing about the "rebellious scum"?

Werne Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Werne your cleaver looks really well .No, it doesn't. I made a mistake while unwrapping the UVs so the texture on the blade is a bit over-stretched, one triangle only, near the handle. But I finished the texture so I'm too lazy to change it now, I'd have to make the texture all over again. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_images/underground/attachicon.gifnewblade6_uvmapprogress1.png Hmm, not good. You need to split the blade in half in order to make every part of the mesh the same scale on the UV map. In your case, you'd have a detailed hilt, pummel and crossguard, but a low-res blade. Well, unless you use a non-standard UV/texture size like 512x2048, which is a bit tricky. And, in other news, I finished my new program's CLI interface.

SilverDNA Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Werne your cleaver looks really well . No, it doesn't. I made a mistake while unwrapping the UVs so the texture on the blade is a bit over-stretched, one triangle only, near the handle. But I finished the texture so I'm too lazy to change it now, I'd have to make the texture all over again.I know a texturing trick to compensate this. if you want sharpeing the texture as well to let it look like a sharp butchering tool you only need to use a brighter version of your texture at the sharp edge of your blade. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_images/underground/attachicon.gifnewblade6_uvmapprogress1.png Hmm, not good. You need to split the blade in half in order to make every part of the mesh the same scale on the UV map. In your case, you'd have a detailed hilt, pummel and crossguard, but a low-res blade. Well, unless you use a non-standard UV/texture size like 512x2048, which is a bit tricky.I agree with Werne's method this way the bladed and everything else has the same size. Usually 2048x2048 is sufficient for a blade. put the blade on top or bottom left or right side of the UV then all else follows according to the size. And, in other news, I finished my new program's CLI interface.

Or two. Or ten. :cool:Way to go Werne. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
