Friday Update - Texturing Gatestriders

[Grummz]

Here we go! Adding textures to the Gatestriders now. Still not real hair (What you see is temp), but we will be using modern hair techniques instead of "good old helmet hair."

Enjoy these shots of our WIP!

We use a program called Substance Painter to quickly texture all our models. You got to see a stream of Joe using it to texture a crate before. Its a really neat way to paint realistic materials like skin and leather and metal onto your models. It can even automatically weather the surface you are painting, chipping away paint at edges, etc.

Enjoy and see you next week!

Reminds me of the dragonfly, me like.

Also booty :3

 

[EvilKitten]

Really nice to see the progress!

 

[DinsdaleP13]

If I wanted to look like that IRL, what exactly would I have to do?

Also, it's the future. Hair is obsolete. No one is going to need it in space. Leave 'em bald.

 

[Dracomon]

Things are looking good. It's coming along rather nicely. Also that guy kinda reminds me of a monkey ._.

I'm not used to substance painter so I'm not certain it's not just showing a live preview using current scene lighting there or something, but just to be sure.... You aren't pre baking in the lighting into the diffuse texture are you?

Also, I keep trying to zoom in on these.... NEED HIGH RES CLOSE UPS TO SATISFY CURIOSITY!

EDIT: And how come we don't get a nice shot of the guys ass huh?

love it....but is it me or the man's hands are disproportional. I wouldn't say anything if the art was like brink. cause it was ment to be disproportional. But, I see the girl so well proportional that worries me cause they don't look like they belong in the same universe. Just pointing that out. Though I believe someone already have before.

SINCE APES ARE ALREADY OUR FIRST COUSIN IN LINE OF OUR DNA. WE WENT WITH OUR SECOND COUSIN.
THE GORILLA.
BECAUSE MUSCLE, SMASH HANDS AND BADASSES.

I was thinking that the arm lengths and hand sizes are due to the Mek frame they are using. Perhaps the gravity of varying planets also weigh in on how their bodies are developed over the years. Planets with stronger gravity lend towards developing bigger muscles or stretching of the arms and hands....

But the suits themselves are looking really nice. Great job as always @Joe Solo and @Grummz

Heh, when I look at his hands with that material on them I think of the medic from TF2.

every day that passes.. i get more and more excited!

 

[Grummz]

I promise that the chars don't look so creepy when they are in 3D and not "peeled"

[Wuterbear]

Thanks for the update. Lookin' fresh!

 

[FuPlaayz]

Why male model have disproportionally sized hands... I don't like it. It looks awful, like an ape.

 

[Mahdi]

The suits are looking fabulous. Nice looking program too. Thank you for these updates!

Are we going to get a terrain update anytime soon? Was thinking of Grummz mentioning working on rocks. Been awhile since we have seen some of the environmental art for the game.

Or am I getting ahead of another update?

 

[AkiraTea]

The male hasn't changed sense the last update. He's still a gorilla, Popeye the sailer man mutant. Please get him in line with the original art concept and female design. He needs to look like a human with realistic proportions, at the very least make it look like the male exists in the same world the female.

 

[DropnLock]

Something to keep in mind about the male body frame is that if you really examine the male and female, their arm lengths are the same but the male has a larger 'body' frame than the female.

Bigger arms, bigger chest, a bit taller than the female... so while it does look disproportionate to the female, it is larger and a bit taller.

that sounds good. so far my favorite is the woman. so realistic. the man reminds me of brink's characters.

almost like a slight abstract look of a human being. that's why I was mentioning it. None of the two are wrong. Just when you look at them together feels like they don't belong together or they were suppose to be in different games. But, like you said, I haven't seen it in 3D. I take your word for sure.
