YouGroove Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 When i want fun robot modeling i just dive in Droid planet. More mechanic design , less cynbernetic : - Slow movement and slow turning speed - 4 auto Guided missiles - 2 main heavy damage guns - Termal vision : no visibility hidding possible - Two special attacks Variation 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouGroove Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I made dangerous flying droids flying in their own zone, they fly patroling randomly between their own 3D pivots points. They will stay high in the air and fire at some range when the player is visible (raycast). Textures is WIP (more work on normal map and colors can change) 3D coat PBR : LE3 model editor : In game : 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouGroove Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 The drone revisited, i just shows how much research and concept phase is important when you are making models. (still 3Dcoat problem with metalness import) 3 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Some quick insight on the workflow i use for mecanic models. -To modelise fast i keep a pre made personnal library of basic shapes of different and common resolutions. So most of the time i just duplicate the piece i need than i start working using extrude, bevel and other functions. Select a shape and press SHIFT + D is lot more faster then going on menus and i have a already good scaling also. Cylinder already rotated vertical and horizontal is for example a small detail , but it spares me lot of manipulations. To make your model, think in modular way if possible - Make only one version of bolts ,wings etc ... duplicate them , but just UV and texture the original version. - Also when your model is ok, you can duplicate individual pieces and position the in space separated from the main model to be able to paint quickly with a better view It will be more easy to paint on the model and on all areas of individual pieces more quickly. 3D coat has some fantastic PBR procedural materials somewhat like substance painter. You can duplicate them, and tweak all parameters from erosion, edge scatering , masks etc ... That's it , happy modeling 3 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisV Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 That's a nice model, YouGroove. I like it. Just one thing though...are you UV-ing each little piece of that drone model as a seperate model, and then assembling all those pieces together? That makes a lot of materials for just one model, which means more drawcalls needed. Or, have i misunderstood what you meant? Quote My Artwork.

That makes a lot of materials for just one model, which means more drawcalls needed. Nope . i have only one texture and one material for the droid : How to do it : - start to make objects in the modeler like one wing , one bolt etc ... only the originals before duplicating - UV each object - So i have each individual pieces floating in space and ready to be used - I join all objects as one object , and i press Unwrap and i will get a UVmap with all the objects of the library if we could say that. Than i just select individual sub meshes of the object and i duplicate and move them to assemble the final Many pieces of the model are duplicated like wings, bolts etc ... and they share the same texture space. For example i make one Wing and i UV map it, then i duplicate it as much as i need , so each new duplicated objcet will share the same UV as the original in the texture. This tips was more towards beginners as i seen people modeling a buggy for example and UV all pieces even duplicated ones, for example there was four UV spaces for each tire, that was a waste of space as they could UV one tire only than duplicate it.

Sakru Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think it is a bug in normal map (second pic. Page 3).When you baiking textures you should subdivade retopo mesh to get correct information on you normal map.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
