Hi,

 

If anyone has some time or interest, I would really love some feedback please on the texturing quality of this object.

It looks fine. However, it does appear to be an artifact showing extreme damage that has since been cleaned up as I see no sign of dirt or deep staining that would lead me to suspect that it had been recently exhumed or otherwise showed weathering, that is, no moss, etc. This is perfectly alright, of course as the user can provide these values.

Hi Tony,

 

Thanks heaps for the feedback and your time, understand fully, the devil is in the details.

 

Is the texture quality ( the maps themselves ) up to a standard ( above gaming ) ?

 

My main focus is workflow at the moment and texture maps that a great and detailed for close up shots.

It looks nice but I still think it would benefit from AO or a little darkness in the cavities.

 

Cool thanks.

 

Funny you say that, I did actually start playing with that for the first time, baking onto a new layer.

I ended up with an issue though, casted shadows rather than an overall AO.

I got one that looked okay but really had to bring the opacity down to hide things which defeated the purpose.

 

Took your advice last night and started adding some more detail, once done will repost the new WIP

Getting better...  Go to this link and click on a picture. Then go to images 15 and 16...

Even though your color base is different it will give you an good idea of weathering, that is if your memorial is outside.

There are several variations of the same underlying color tone depending upon weathering or damage , gravity streaks plus of course the blacken areas due to mildew or pollution.

Thank you for the great link and feedback Digman. I like the idea of that type of weathering, will see what I can do to add that to this prop.

I couldn't quite get there and I feel a new object with a fresh start keeping this all in mind will help me move in the right direction.

 

Here are some renders and the updated diffuse map.

I purchased DDO the other day, it still feels very foreign but I used it to modify and create a new Diffuse map...the rest is all nodal / shader work with Octane.

A new test and I must say I am really loving the 3D Painting workflow in 3D Coat, feels just right.

Across seams is certainly much better than I remember.

Was a little sluggish on this 4k.

It's not really "a dry Stone" but one carefully polished by it' creator. The goss reveals surface details that would be hard to see on a matt or low gloss surface. I think if he could get a 3D printout that looked exactly the same, he could sell them as extra terrestrial paper weights direct from the outer imagination.

Looks very stony ;) The spec/gloss seems a little high (smooth?) for a dry stone though.

 

LOL Thanks :) those settings can always be played with pending final render / use :)

Ooh a 3D print would be cool :D

 

Your earlier advice really helped drive this test, thanks heaps.

Hi,

 

Found some time to create and paint a new object.

 

I really enjoy using 3D Coats Paint tools and look forward to faster painting with higher res maps.

 

If you want a closer look at maps, file can be found here: http://laticis.deviantart.com/art/Laticis-Imagery-FREE-Stone-Throne-484315331

 

Cheers Laticis
