BrandonBranderson 672 Posted August 21, 2018 We're just trying to help really. You wanna get better at this, don't you? Tobii is trying to help too despite coming on a little more heavy handed. And, uh... Could you please explain what "i heard your climbing glass noise increasing" means? I'm actually really curious about that now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted August 21, 2018 Though @Tobii might be blunt about it, he is right. It is obvious you don't listen to sugarcoated constructive criticism that is attempting to get you to improve your renders and your skills, so maybe blunt might actually do the trick.

Rest looks Nope, it's actually a model of a fluid splash, but I couldn't get it to look right because it kept trying to reflect the blue sky so it ended up brighter and a little more washed out than it was supposed to be.

Nitronik 348 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I'm happy to see this still exists I've harassed Jenz for some APB assets but I didn't wind up doing much with them. What's an animation you'd like to see made, using APB models? Might make one over the weekend. Can be anything from a gun reload to something a bit more complicated - I'll go with the easier one naturally!

BrandonBranderson 672 Posted August 21, 2018 I just realized that the only two renders I shared here were of someone on a tricycle blowing someone's head off with a shotgun. What am I doing with my life? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though it got confirmed what I said was in fact, correct. ok. 5 minutes ago, BrandonBranderson said: little more washed out than it was supposed to be Why not add it after using PS? most blood effects are usually just added like that. e.g. movies/special effects and so on. The washed out makes it stand out sadly. Looks a little plasticy, like a certain other individuals renders that I can't comment on. The reflection does seem to be the cause Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reflection does seem to be the cause That does look a lot better, thanks :3 That is a pretty old render though and I've since learned how to control the materials and stuff a bit better. The night scene I posted earlier was a much newer one than this and I think the blood looked way better in that than the clown scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Queen of Love 453 Posted August 22, 2018 Archimesh works well with "generated" texture cover, a bit less with uv cause mesh are not uv mapped. but with manual mark of uv borders there is some fast result. at least mostly common mesh are stored as unique type.

BrandonBranderson 672 Posted August 22, 2018 Hmm, maybe try making the wood and marble textures have smaller tiles so they look higher resolution? Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have a potato PC and can't handle higher res stuff, or do you just not feel like making higher resolution textures and models?

Tobii 346 Posted August 22, 2018 I made a thing.. This was legit too much effort to even make it look like this.. How you manage that is beyond me. This is a simple "clay" render setup.. Gets rid of the plastic-y look and actually adds nice shadows.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azimuth 0 Posted August 23, 2018 Hey everyone, sorry to jump in, does anyone have the models for the cars? Or an old copy of the game, because umodel can no longer extract the vehicles from the new one. It seems like it could in the past. I dont need my specific vehicle, but the model. Thank you!
