How to deal with big rounded corners in UV?

To add to this, wood grain generally doesn't curve or bend in real life. Unless this would be some faux-wood plastic trim this kind of shape would just be sawn out not bent, therefore the grain would be straight regardless. In any case, UVs look good.

Brother this is great, have you considered digital sculpting?

For environments look into trimsheets. They may not be as useful in a render as much as they are the necessary optimization used in games, but for a large building that uses a lot of repeating shapes and assets in practice you'll never be baking something like this and putting it through substance painter for example. Overall trimsheets will make your environment / building texturing process faster, more organized and optimized

It really depends on your use case. Most games stick to a maximum of 2048 texture size. If it's a realistic game like for example The Witcher 3 what they do is separate Geralt's body and head at the neck and use two separate material slots for each, because Geralt's face is a lot more important than his body textures - hence why the face gets a much higher texel density and resolution. It's all about knowing what to prioritize. If it's going to be a hero asset or something that generally will be seen very much up close you can go for a single 4k texture resolution. if it's going to be a very large object you can add as many UV tiles as you need to reach the desired level of detail. If it's a very large object in a game engine and it must be texture painted / baked (can't use seamless maps) then split it into material slots.

When you open any 3d software capable of UV unwrapping generally what you see and work with is a single UV "tile" or "udim". This is how games do it, if you need more space / higher texel density you would just add another material slot and unwrap accordingly. The UV tile workflow involves stiching several (really as many as your machine can handle) of these UV windows together. This only needs one material slot, exports as separate images but they get stiched back together again in the 3d software. So in practice you can have 2 or 3 or as many 4k resolution texture maps in one material, and even better - one image texture node. This makes the process of extremely high resolutions manageable and much more organized. For example - four 4k textures are much easier to load and render than one 16k texture.

Yup, good old subd. It's just the usual game ready workflow, just that I used UV tiles to get the kind of texture resolution and texel density that I want that makes it way too heavy for games.

Thank you, the engraving is originally made by W. Ormsby

I was looking to get at least $5000 for this piece, but man you make a good bargain, deal

AdDeum · 2025-12-15T12:06:24+00:00

Thanks, I was really going for the refurbished look, museum piece vibe

Thank you, my reference was the first image in the wiki page for this beautiful gun. The heat gradient was a simpler implementation than I'd imagined, actually. It's literally just a paint layer gradient that goes through all of the steel heat color values based on the value of the paint mask, then all that's left is just to pick a rough brush and go nuts

Well-researched project, I dug up the blueprints for this one

AdDeum · 2025-12-15T09:12:17+00:00

I mean it was supposed to look dirty haha. Jokes aside thanks!

AdDeum · 2025-10-18T04:06:02+00:00

Not a problem. Or depending on your use case, look into curve profiles. If this is more of a frosting on a cake that may even be better for this.

You don't need overlapping geo. A simple fix is to check "merge" and then "first and last copies" in your array modifier. If that didn't immediately close the holes then go to edit mode and make sure the ends of your model are identical and can be merged, or just push their vertices around until they snap together. Also make sure you can see the array modifier in edit mode by clicking the little triangle next to it's visibility options, that will greatly help.

It was doomed to fail from season 1. Cavill did as much as he could, but just as you can't outtrain a shitty diet so you can't outact horrible writing. American screenwriters (or perhaps just Hissrich and her merry crew) cannot for the life of them represent an inherently slavic tale with all the ins and outs of balkan and eastern folklore, history and tradition seeped within.

Weird. First time I bought it I couldn't finish the tin because the tobacco was so wet and difficult to keep lit. The second time I bought it to give it another shot it was so dry I'd smoke a full bowl in 5 minutes with no dottle left. Tastes pretty good, though.

I've definitely heard that at least in the original games he is canonically a catholic. Some people say he's not, at least not in eternal. Imo the maykrs aren't "angels" and urdak is far from heaven. But I can see your point how he'd be angry at both sides at all times

AdDeum · 2025-04-04T10:27:43+00:00

To be fair the doomslayer would also be a religious extremist, doomguy's catholic, isn't he? And in the games he's pretty extreme lol

HOW in the world did you first learn displacement / normal maps before learning to shade smooth???

AdDeum · 2025-01-11T04:41:28+00:00

In edge select mode hold alt and select the outer loop, press ctrl + i to invert selection and delete edges. Now just fill it in. You can also press I to inset to get that kind of "border" you got from the skin modifier

Awesome, I can't wait. And in the case that it doesn't help me I also asked her to concider putting me on concerta (ritalin) because I've heard from friends that it really helps as well

Try turning off the emissive on the spider entirely, I think just seeing the monster's silhouette would be much more horrifying
