@@JAWSFreelao texturing a vest like this on will look hideous, the base mesh just doesn't support that shape

I'd say push the contrast on all of the textures reduce the grunge on his belt buckle, atm it looks very muddy - probably paint some shine on that (a vertical gradient could do the trick allready) belt could use some detail aswell, probably some wear around the edges EDIT : maybe also darken the inside of his nostrils a little

Watch it.

QEffects https://jkhub.org/files/file/1484-qeffects-pro/ Could be compared to SweetFX you can modify settings in a .ini file

bake a world space normal map and take the green channel, you want to edit that and apply it on top of your textures to get top-down lighting might help with what you are trieing to achieve

I think that wa something chalk did a while back...

for JKA you might have to reduce the polycount quite a bit though - the main sphere you have there is probably far over 1000 verts Good to see you back Culley !

the staff is nothing different than a regular saber hilt , just duplicate the tag_blade, name it tag_blade2, rotate it and put it on the other end of the saber something to keep in mind is that the middle of your staff hilt (aslong as it's a "regular" staff saber and not a pike of sorts) should be aligned to the origin (0|0|0) of your grid in gmax if that isn't enough explanation I might be able to dig a old staff model I made up EDIT : here you go

don't use crazybumo - use one of the cloth materials from substance painter and apply it via triplanar projection

I wouldn't have added cloth detail in Zbrush, contact me for an alternative way

both would be great, as the edit normals modifier gives more control about meshnormals than plain smoothing groups do smoothing groups are just a simple automated way to get averaged normals for areas of the mesh, while the edit normals modifier allows you to precisely edit single normals (or groups of them) and set thme to a specific direction essentially they both do the same - so instead of pslitting by smoothing groups consider splitting vertices by vertex normals and both should work along fine

After playing the beta I can safely say that I'M definetly not going to buy and play the full game it felt too much like a simple battlefield reskin

those stubby legs.... they should be way longer I'm downloading the beta right now

@@Psyk0Sith sounds a lot like my worklfow - but I guess I could still learn a lot from your topology

@@Psyk0Sith neat, mind sharing the highpoly mesh when you're done ?

haha - I'll repeat DT's question @[member='Psyk0Sith' but I'd guess this was done in Zbrush
