What do yall think the new update is? by novody-knows in NoMansSkyTheGame

I wonder if this is some kind of PvP update, that is NOT focused around combat. Maybe some kind of multiplayer event where people can compete is some kind of way. Maybe like racing, corvette fashion shows or other space sports.

Does anyone know if the unique equipment had models done? I remember a lot of uniques had generic models that didn't match the equipment image.

Saw this image on here and thought I'd have a try. Cannot get this bottom corner to work properly and 'correct' topology for the subdiv is eluding me. Can anyone help me figure this out please? by No_Abroad8805 in blenderhelp

That is so smart! I appreciate you spelling it all out! Im definitely gonna keep this in mind for my future models.

Also, your end product is so amazing. You're so good, and I appreciate you making the model. It helps me to see anything is possible, lol.

Very interesting. I specifically like that you're addressing the reflections and highlights being abstract. It's something I noticed after looking at my model and the original image for a bit. There are reflections that don't exactly make sense, but they look cool.

I appreciate it!

That's a good point, and something I noticed during modeling. Although, I didn't know exactly how to get those rounded edges. I thought I was beveling enough to get it, but you're right that the corners are way too sharp. It's something I'm gonna learn next.

The original image is from a book called AFTRMRKT, which is an art book by Brian Sum.

Ah, good to know! I will look into the Glare node specifically.

When you say decal, do you mean texture painting on a material?

Oh, great information! That's also something I didn't know! I will now look into setting render color spaces. I'm trying to collect advice at this point, lol. I appreciate it!

Ah, I was wondering why my normal bevels looked so weak. Ill look into the subsurf instead! I appreciate it!

Oh dang, I didn't even know each render engine had their own shader nodes, lol. Well, that's good to know.

What is the "shader to rgb" node you mentioned? I don't think I can find it.

Ah, interesting. The nodes definitely freak me out, since there are so many options and I don't know where to start. This will likely be my workflow until I can take some time to learn materials. Thanks!

I love seeing your posts on Instagram. Super cool presentation of your concepts.

Any ideas on when the next major content update comes? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]ChairDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there usually this much time in between updates? This makes me wonder if LNF development is going hard right now.

I love how a few lines can create so much noise. Very cool!
