Barricade24's WIPs & Projects

[Barricade24]

Gregor should be released sometime early this week.

[Lamented]

Nice! Look forward to it

[Barricade24]

All right all the tally marks I done. But before I release (which will likely be tomorrow by the way) I need some shader feedback and @@AshuraDX since you supplied feedback for the 212 I figured you'd be the one to ask.

 

Also @@Sithani you wanted to see the final product as I recall so here are some shots of the finished skin job. Shaders are still awaiting feedback.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So Ashura, are we too bright on the specs?

[Lamented]

That is so beautiful.

[AshuraDX]

I'd darken the specular map a bit for most of the armor  as it shines pretty bright atm which doesn't match the greyshade camo paint on his armor

[Barricade24]

Better?

[Sithani]

IMO the scratches on the helmet look very cartoon-ish

[Barricade24]

Well those are supposed to be tally marks. Not so much scratches. They really come out as a flat black sort of appearance.

 

Or are you actually referring to the scratches used on the yellow portion of his armor to blend with the camo/default armor?

[Barricade24]

Getting closer but still some shader issues I am having. The default shader for the Commando makes the visor transparent, which enables you to see inside the helmet. Is there any way I can fix this?

 

It is more likely this will be released tomorrow.

[JAWSFreelao]

Unfortunately for you, I doubt there's a way to fix that, due to the model.

[AshuraDX]

@@Barricade24 better, yes

now show me that shader and give me your helmet texture I'll take a look at it

Having some problems with the Dropbox so I had to copy and paste here.

 

models/players/Gregor/visor

{

    {

        map models/players/Gregor/visor

        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO

    }

    {

        map models/players/Gregor/visor-spec

        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE

        glow

    }

}

 

Also here is an image of what it looks like in game.

 

[AshuraDX]

I don't know how the texure is set up but this could probably work :

models/players/Gregor/visor

models/players/Gregor/visor
{

    {
        map models/players/Gregor/visor
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ZERO
        rgbGen identity
    }
    {
        map models/players/Gregor/visor-spec
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
        glow
    }
}

try with and without the "rgbGen identity" line

this line will prevent it from recieving shadows, see wether you like that or not

well they look really... raw, unrealistic

[Barricade24]

@@AshuraDX Works great, now! Many thanks!

 

@@Sithani You might be right I'll take another look at the tally marks and see what I can do to enhance the quality or at least make it appear more real.

[Barricade24]

Gregor is up!

[Barricade24]

Always knew there was something missing with the shaders to give this guy the look he needed. He is indeed a thing of beauty.

[Barricade24]

@@Mandalorian Do you think these legs are better in terms of detail?

Old

New

[Mandalorian]

It's hard to tell the difference. Try some moles bumps and veins.

[Mandalorian]

something a bit like this.

[Barricade24]

Allright. I might look into that.

[AshuraDX]

make sure to keep those veins blue and kinda subtle

[Mandalorian]

Yeah I didn't but it was a quick pic to get the idea across.Look at some reference. 

[Barricade24]

Been working on something for awhile. Something has always bothered me about the base protocol droid. Although after looking at the model I can find little detail that isn't accurate to the character itself. But something about the face mainly always bothered me and I looked into making an overall more accurate protocol droid.

 

This is what I have come up with.

One element I am quite thrilled with is the updated hands.

If you look at a protocol droid all of it seems to be one single color with pretty much every single metal part the same color. Unless of course it is a unique paint job. I think I may need to up the contrast on the textures but otherwise I think it turned out pretty well.

 

I may need some advice with the shaders though. The base effect doesn't seem to be the best choice and the shader I used that is similar to my TFU Shadow Trooper one doesn't seem to work the best either. Anyway, suggestions are welcome.

[Bek]

I want to say great job, but there something off about the texture, it's just too faded I guess, almost like a pale yellow.

I would try to make the plating more goldish silvery(?) I guess  .

I would also darken the rubber innards, and add some battle damage. 

 

Edit: you may need to add a shader.
