damn , get well buddy

I tried your method at my skiff textures that are 50% painted and 50% baked - did not look too great as embossing every little crack and such certainly doesn't work too well

what I like to do with handpainted ,that are supposed to look painted, textures is using the find edges filter at a merged copy, desaturate that layer and set its blendmode to multiply which gives a neat AO effect

here's an example on hwich I applied said trick :

sadly I dont have the PSD anymore , this is a tileable rock texture I made for Minecraft , ingame

 

Russian sites have nothing but ported content.

this site doesn't look like it only has ported content , atleast I couldn't discover anything obvious so far but I didn't really browse the site yet

another way would be to split the mirrored mesh piece in 2 and assign 2 different textures to them or copy a piece of the mesh you wan't your decal on and apply a decal shader to that piece. this would exchange UV mapping with simple modeling work

 

just as awesome as the original is this remix by Voicians

I just do copy merged and paste that as a new layer to get everything on one layer which keeps the other layers intact and allows me to do quick changes

I have to say I dont reallyl ike the result your method delivers that much , but it mgiht work in some cases

your work reminds me of some of my older hilts , I think you should try to use the famous noise + motion blur combination in a more subtle way , so far the brushed steel effect is to strong and blurry, the later could be fixed quite easily ,just try this :

1. open your PSD in photoshop

2.go to : edit/copy merged

3.paste your copy as a new layer

4.use filter/sharpen/sharpen on that new layer

5. adjust opacity to your liking

@@Rooxon oh I was just asking to see if there was a better way to create wrinkles&folds than how I did it here

I'm also trieing to avoid filter usage as much as possible thanks for the offer though !

 

A word on my Starkiller model : I dont know when I'll finish this as I kinda lost interest for now but I certainly will finish him I just don't know when that'll happen - yet

I use max 2013 anyway so give it to me guys

@ PM sent

been able to get it fix'd and now I need some beta testers , who's interested ?

 

Bantha II Skiff by ashuradx on Sketchfab
 

I recently noticed that modders lack the ability to change the rider aniamtion for vehicles , without replacing the specific line in aniamtions.cfg , is there any way you guys could implement this ?

my web issues have still not been fixedand I dont know when they will be . But I set up the mesh to be put ingame

Done with the textures , but technical issues leave me without internet at my pc so i'll have to delay the new pictures

small update , just some color changes here and there so far , no real texturing done yet

 

 

I also updated the sketchfab page :

Finally , a month later I got "some" progress to show

 

just the Ambient Occlusion , Cavity and curvature maps I got after baking the details from my highpoly mesh to my lowpoly mesh applied to the finished lowpoly model

it still needs fine texture detail and color but I think it allready looks pretty good

@@Circa , I was indeed sadly it appears to be lost . I might get another one going once I'm less busy with school related stuff

@@AshuraDX  Do you know when you may be able to resume progress on that skiff?  It seemed to be coming along quite well a couple weeks ago.

hopefully next week, I have a shitload to do for school and I'm still in the preparation for my upcoming move next weekend after that I should be back to normal business

been listening to this all day while painting my room in the new flat (I'm moving)

@@Vegeta I had a busy week and didn't have time to work on this , sadly

Still bothing

If you wish , change your name back

Chalk will probably need some more time before he can continue working on this model

Would it be possible to make the flag banners animate in some way? Even if it is just some fake ripples moving across them.

well I have an idea how one could do this but that'd require some serious scripting

or an anim map could do the trick aswell

@@Vegeta moved the thread to from Requests to WIP

 

I wont be able to do much work at the mesh this weekend , sadly

 

 

 

WIP images of the Highpoly mesh

I'd say it's 80-90% done

I have made a model of that pike ages ago , you may have it

this should include kazdan paratus saberpike and my old rahm kota saber aswell

these models are pretty shitty and so are the textures and I might remake them but for now they'll do
