The Order's War Factory

Clazzy · Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 1:37 am Post subject: The Order's War Factory

R-moremen has been very busy, and me a bit less so. Concept and basic design of the power plant was done by christophski, then R-moremen took the helm and finished The Order's War Factory. I spent a good deal of today working on that alpha image, and am rather pleased with the way it came out. Not much else to say except that work is underway already on The Order's barracks, which too will have alpha lighting.

how about making it look more metallic by using some gloss and specular maps

what i'm suggesting would be so simple. just take the texture out of the diffuse channel and put it in the gloss and specular channel instead and then fiddle with the mixer numbers a little just to tune the look of it.

In Carrara 5. I'd use bump-mapping and surface mapping, with a little glow in the right places, and a bit of surface scatter.

ok, first I can say is indeed gloss and specular maps make it look more metallic and give a nice graphic touch up, I use gloss and specular maps on some of the pipes on the building but not on the structure walls and the reason is when I worked on the building I tried to make it look more like to suit for military purpose by avoid it look glossy like it wanted to say "hey, I'm here I'm here!" but I was perhaps wrong.

some of the structure textures use bump-mapping but it can't almost not be notice and in 3ds I have never hear something called 'surface scatter' but 'subsurface scattering' but you perhaps mean that mice16, anyway the only best use that kind of mapping I know is for skins, actual I'm not so skilled in texturing effect but I'm practise on it.

But if I haven't already I better stop talk so it dosen't end up with I talk drivel.

Its lovely, but I partly agree with ViPr's* suggestion. I can understand the spec maps, but not gloss, I would think the military would use a matte finish of some sort to keep it from being vibrant, as R-more men stated.

*Fix your program's damn texture reading! #Tongue
