[FREE]Package released !

Hi there,

maked this 3 Models the last two days ago.
This Models are "seamless" , means you can connect this models without getting any seams / leaks.
Only got this 3 Models finished yet, but there would come much more at the Next Days.

So... Now i need your Opinions / Critic to make it good as possible.

Improvements which should be made:
-Overwork a bit the bottom part of the Texture
-make the Path much less "wavy"

Planed Models:
-2 more Path Models (uphill grade / downhill grade)
-Grass Model
-Rock Models
-Old wodden Fence Model
-Tree's
-Hills (Sand / Rock)


This Package would become free if its finished!

maybe you can add some alpha masked meshes that you could add for dirt/water/grass patches/rocks etc, just to be able to add some more detail if needed.
Easy and fast way to increase quality

Great start though!

regards,

thanks helghast,
this would be the second step, after building the Rocky Path Parts...
Maybe i could finish the rocky parts today...

Update: (uphill grade)



BTW: I KNOW THE CRAPPY UGLY SEAM AT THE END OF THE UPHILL GRADE !

Hei das sieht ja super aus!
Ist es vielleicht möglich, dass du das Model oben abschließt (also berg-änliche Rundungen)?

Grüße

Klar das is kein Thema... Werd ich mal heute abend machen wenn ich zu hause bin...

now I remember what it reminds me of a colin mcRae racing track!
you can get some good inspiration out of that, youtube (my personal favourite) colin mcrae dirt.

regards,

I think that the upper part of the hill is a lil bit flat, should be more 'wavy' IMO. Although I think it can be added in the game engine

Thanks Helghast for this kind of words...

I have a look later at the upper Part of the Rock Model, maye i deform it a bit...

Update would come at the evening...


cYa Sebastian

Small Update:




EDIT:

cYa Sebastian

Here an Unity Shot:

(with Parallax Mapping)

Now thats nice. Wow, what a sweet model.

Small Update...

(without Dirtmap / New AO / Shadowmap)


(with Dirtmap / New AO / Shadowmap)


AO / Shadowmap is baked in Texture

EDIT: Changed the AO / Shadowmap of Fence 2, both was incorrect.. But i'm too lazy to change the Picture here in this Forum

EDIT#2: textures would be overworked... missed some dirt / details -.-' *Shame on me*

EDIT#3: Shadowmap - AO Map overworked / Dirtmap included

A Tree :

very nice. i am quite impressed.

Well, a good start - but pay attention to texture directions.
For example your fence model - the sides have the same directions as the planks in the middle. The mapping needs a 90° rotation there

It seems as if the last three models do not have the same quality as your models used to have. Their shapes (rocks) are a bit weird and the textures on them are washed and seams are visible. The tree needs a color correction - it is far too yellow and green, better remove the noisy log texture and add a texture from a photo.

Nevertheless, quite a nice bunch of good low poly models!

Thx bredebrothers for your critic !

Heres a new Shot of the Tree Model, reduces the yellow amount of the branch and made 2 new variations.
Hope you like it

Do you have shots of the trees ingame?
At the given screenshots they are way too flat, they are missing depth and volume.
IMO, you have to integrate shadows of the leaves somehow, you can take photographs or duplicate given paintings of leaves, and change the shape of the duplicated a bit, make it darker and put it in the back of the other leaves.
I would bake the shadows into the branches as well.
In blender you can bake the shadow into a texture with a second uv, you know that, and you can bake the tiled texture into that second uv/texture as well, save both textures in different tgas and combine them in Gimp.

Hi Pappenheimer,

yes you are right.. should do the shadowmapping for the branches...
Here is an MED (A6) Shot:



i know its ugly bright... anyway this is the default light by MED

cYa Sebastian

Looks much better. Nonetheless, try the thing I mentioned about the leaves.

Here we go... Tried to get more "shading" into the leaves.
Also changed the resolution of the second skin to 512*512!

Compare it:

OLD:


NEW:


cYa Sebastian

Looks way better!

Suggestion: A new tree that looks "bigger" with less but larger leaves. Give a not so realistic approach a try (cmp. Fable 1 f.i.).

Okay, try to do this at the next Tree... But before i have to do some polishing at the other models...

cYa Sebastian
