The FS Upgrade needs a UV Mapper / Texturer!
on: April 12, 2004, 11:44:24 am
It's for an SOC capital ship, around 1.3km long. It's not a high-poly ship per se - only has 2500 polys. And that's all you get. :D

We're looking for someone who has experience in UV mapping and can texture fairly well. *looks in Venom's direction* :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

Hey, that's perfectly ok - it's the Ezechiel's fault that I'm looking in your direction to begin with - I didn't know you could texture like that! ;)

Just have someone make the actual map, and I can UV it. As I keep telling you...!  Damnit!

The UV process is first, correcto?

Sometimes, if you use tiles it can go the other way around.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

There's advantages either way. :)

UV first means you have a nice template you can draw on and view on the model as you draw it.

 UV last means you have to work on the map with a bit more guesswork, but it also means it's easier to tweak and correct any errors with the UV itself.

well, I do it area by area:
I render the part I want to map, I paste it on the texture, UV map that with the unwrapper, draw over the texture ( while looking in max to check how it looks like ), in the end, if needed, I adjust with unwrapper again.

Huh, ok, so that initial render to get the base map to work with would be from an orthogonal POV, correct? What kind of lighting, just plain ambient?
