Re: 7/April/06 Update

Very nice work guys. The rebel trooper has certianly improved from your last model showing. And that Scout looks top notch! I only have 1 Idea that I think should be implimented into the imp and reb textures.

Perhaps add a little fabric bumpmap texture to add some more detaile to the clothing. The textures are very nice, but are too paint like/smooth/cartoony. Needs some more detail me thinks. But thats just my oppinion. Still, very nice!

Here is an example of what I mean. Looking closely at the clothing fabric and skin, you can see fabric texturing and bumps on his skin. A hiogh LOD.

That's normal mapping I believe Ninja. We've talked about using normal mapping, and we'll probably end up using them eventually, but only one or two of our team members knows how to use normal maps, so we will have to save that until later.

Re: 7/April/06 Update

I do think he's also referring to the actual fibers, right? That would be done through the skin as well I'm assuming, and for enchanced effects also put on the bump/normal map. I'm guessing wildly now though. The sound guy should be silent! cool

Re: 7/April/06 Update

I had done normal maps for the wrinkles in the scout troopers pants and arms, and will get around to adding normal maps to the rebel and imperial models soon. smile

Re: 7/April/06 Update

Yea, I noticed that on the scout trooper, the wrinkles look really realistic. Normal maps are so sweet lol.
