Reply To: BC1-1908 Homework – Aaron Rudderham
Day 1 Done!
Yeah you know how I said I hope life doesn’t get in the way? Welp, that happened. Nothing bad mind you, just some voluntary stuff and a friend’s birthday (who I believe really didn’t like the gifts I got them, so now I feel bad) but that seems to be it now, and fortunately this week’s work doesn’t seem as intense as last week.
Now I will admit two things. One, I am absolutely awful at UV unwrapping, and Two, I’ve never really done hand painted textures to any real degree, so this is mostly either poorly or completely uncharted territory for me. I’m kind of cheating in a way because I’ve given each piece of the sword a separate texture map (or maps in good time) but I figured I could get more bang for my buck in the detail department. I’ve also be tweaking the model a bit, adding some more dents and dings. So far got a fairly basic texture on the blade and cross-guard, and am going to be detailing it more. When I wake up. And catch up with more homework threads. There’s just so many of you.
Which when you compare it to the old one:
It has much more life already!
I actually wanted to ask @theluthier if we’re allowed to use procedural textures alongside vertex painting as well? Just for those added details. Maybe I’m praying he’ll say yes because it’s where my strengths lie more or because I just wanna be weird (and totally not because I haven’t already used vertex painting and not trying to retroactively ask if it’s okay). Welp, I need to sleep now so I wish you all the best and happy Blending!
