Kenetor Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Greetings fellow citizens and imperialists! I am locked in heated battle of art, charm and voting! I entered an art competition run the awesome Pleasure on the office forums to win a copy of the Quixel suit, this tool is simply amazeballs when it comes to texturing game assets and i hope to use it on future SC projects. Im a close second so far and need more help to get to first but the deadline for voting is short now and will end Friday 20th 16:00 GMT. I hate resorting to asking but I really think this tool is worth the shame in doing so. If you can and haven't already, many thanks to those that have, please vote for me here: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/148796/voting-for-the-quixel-contest EDIT: VOTING IS NOW CLOSED! Texturing the crate shown under my name in the post only took me 3 hours or so, and had not used it before, when normally to put such detail into a texture would take many more times that, just to give you an idea of how useful this tool is! Also SC is all about community so lets show them what we can do Many thanks my friends. Kenetor Deadhiel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgen Black Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The first entry that currently is leading looks nice but the dirt is not quite right. I voted for the best one, which is Kenetor's. Good luck. Zero Null Cero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naros Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Done. Yeah the first one is a bit to dirty. You got the right mix in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozenger Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Looked through them and yours is my favorite anyway, voted! Looks close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorax Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yep, voted for you yesterday, you and the other guy are favorites anyway, I like your texture more, too much weather effects on the other one, yours is perfectly balanced. Good luck in competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightFall Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Congrats kenetor! When you first made this thread, you were losing 40% to NBGZero's 45%. Now it's the other way around! 12 votes really makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juntau Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Honestly, your texturing is the best there, if it were not I wouldn't vote for you, but I did, so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juba Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Got my vote. Have to say if NBGZore did not have such a shitty background he would have gotten my vote. Glad to see you have a decent lead ( this is at the time of my vote ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Rubicon Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 yea yours is the best i think as its more universal in different hangers and ships so it looks like it would fit better + that mesh sooo sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenetor Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks you guys, I think it might be enough to see me through, but ill keep an eye on it! I really wanna make a new crate with more base detail as well now, it was really fun doing the compilation! Kenetor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arithan Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Because of this thread, I actually got to play around with Quixel SUITE. It's currently in open beta. I've seen it before when I saw the video of how Deus Ex could look on Unreal Engine 4. It was neat being able to texture that crate so easily and have it look realistic. I'm not a 2D artist so I'd have trouble customizing it with like the grille and yellow and black stripes like you did, especially since the stripes aren't perfectly straight in the texture.

It is a brilliant tool, I really have trouble with the 2D side, i prefer the modeling and lighting. It wasnt the best unwrap of the model either, certainly not how i would of done it, but hey you work with what you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arithan Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Did you create a new normal map after you finalized the texture or did you just use the original one? If you created a new one, what did you use to do it? The problem I see with generating a new normal map from the actual finished texture is that there are some things you don't want bump for, like the yellow and black stripes. For the scratches, they are usually lighter than the unscratched parts. So with the generated normal map from the texture, it would look like the scratches are sticking out rather than in. I have problems with this when I get finished textures I have to create normal maps for. I use Bitmap2Material with Substance Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
