Models & Textures by cnceo
So this is a thread to show off my work ( ) and of course to collect some feedback.
Attention: My textures are now included in warzone 3.1.1. (Dec.2013). The latest version only contain minor changes.
For the previous discussion about textures I made for the old models check:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6836&start=75#p125221
download/file.php?id=14445&mode=view
To get the textures (I will try to keep this link up to date):

Thanks for your feedback in adance!

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
I'm also starting to do some modelling work, but everything I do right now is new to me, so I'll be happy about your feedback, tips and suggestions.
Here is a current work-in-progress shot of the Research Facility (semi-low/high poly)
(A link to the .blend file (GPLv2) for anyone who wants to take a look : http://warzone.1oooo.de/research-hq.7z - beware, many things are still a mess...)

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Good stuff
My suggestion would be to make it a full-fledged hipoly with all the details modeled in. Then me and Alpha93 can show you how the baking works
Btw, on closer inspection, your topology has some issues like degenerate faces etc. Stuff like that is something you learn to avoid over time.

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Due to feedback by per:
i tried to adjust the brightness of the arizona baseplates and the factory gate. It remains a bit darker than the factory base but I think that this situation is the same with the old bases. I also made a small change on the powerplant on page-11.
(see updated link in the first post)
However, the dark side of the cyborg factory seems to be an issue with the lighting because it is technically the same piece of texture as the other side.

Quick ao-render shot of my high-poly to show how powerful I am Jk, I wish I'd new how to properly continue from here...

Also, here is a vectorized version of the New Paradigm logo, just for fun:

This can probably be used for high-quality campaign videos (?)vectorized version of the New Paradigm logo

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Right! That's the direction I'm thinking of. There is just so much I would like to doNoQ wrote:This can probably be used for high-quality campaign videos (?)vectorized version of the New Paradigm logo
Also, a (sort of retro) warzone logo I made (textured) quickly for the lols

AO render looks good. However, when baking the normal map, you will get problems.
Alpha93 also had this problem in the beginning. Because you have abolutely sharp edges, the baking projection will show no change in normals at all for most of the corners and crevices. It simply can't "catch" 90 degree angles. One of the solutions is to apply suitably wide bevels on all important edges.
Also check out this article for more info about the technicalities of baking.

Okay, so here is the low poly together with the baked textures and normals. Polycount is 1600, most of which are used for the pipes, which seems to me like a lot of wasted triangles, but I'm not totally sure how to improve that. For some reason I get these orange reflections when I use the model ingame. Not sure what to do about that.
It is also appearent how much space on the texture map is wasted because there is no support for tangent space normal maps. Every pipe, wall and addon in principle shares the same texture and normals. Just because everything has to be rendered in object space, every single triangle needs a separate part of the texpage. So I'm not fully satisfied, for this reason I will try something simpler first. There are also some broken textures at the corners, which I will fix later.
I think I started with something too complicated for the beginning. I guess I will try something more simple and come back to this later. But I want to release it even in this state, just to prevent it from being wasted time and I'd still welcome every feedback you can give. License is GPLv2 inherited from the original.

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
I'll give a look at it.
Did you get rid of all the degenerate geometry, though?

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Thx. I did the low-poly from scratch and didn't bother further about the high-poly. Didn't see anything wrong with the low-poly, so I think its okay.Alpha93 wrote:I'll give a look at it.

For completness here is the baked AO layer: http://warzone.1oooo.de/research-aomap.png
Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Some normalmap weirdness, looks like you got smoothing in the wrong places. Otherwise no crits.
If you really want to take it to the next level, you can model in the seams on the roof paneling

Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Strange. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong during the normal baking. I guess I have to ask you a couple of things on IRC to see what's happening there...
Re: Models & Textures by cnceo
Thanks to Alpha and especially Jorzi for helping to get the research center into the game. Probably not even bad for my very first model
