thanx

think ill stick with what i have now and get to UV-mapping and texturing the model

[talisa]

another update

started on UV-mapping all parts and finished all except the hinges on back (which will be a pain in the ass i noticed when i did the hasp)

.

decided to just keep all parts seperate cuz its a lot more convenient then mergin all parts
-each part can have its own texture instead of all parts using a single texture. this will allow higher detailed textures on the detailed parts for example
-one could simple replace texture for one part this way
-also will make it easier to change or replace a part later if i decide i want to change something to the model, which would be a lot harder if all parts were joined into a single model

[IronWarfare]

I'm sure it will be great like the others

[talisa]

shazaam!


just UV-mapped the hinges

wasnt as much of a pain in the ass as i thought it would be cuz i knew the process having done from the hasp

.

now this last part is UV-mapped too i can start working on textures for all parts tomorrow

[MadGypsy]

That's the craziest texture I have ever seen! Is this for Acid Quake?




I'm JK ...good job so far.

[talisa]

lol i might hope that pic is of some kinda glitch or bug or such,
and nobody actually intentionally make something like that

anyway, thanx

.

still kinda dun have any idea what to put on the front of the chest btw.
so if anybody has any ideas for it, please do share em

Acid Quake is real

quick test i did with some textures.

trying to find some good fitting textures for all parts of chest.

.

what do you all think? think the rusted metal fits quite well for the model parts, not?

and the red wood doesnt seem half-bad either, right?(of course texture will be scaled smaller when its done)

front is just a place-holder untill i can think of something to put on there

.

EDIT: more trying out of textures:


.

EDIT2: played around with the textures a bit in paintshop

played around with trying to make colors and brightness more closer to original chest

also: trying to make convincing looking gold is really hard

[gdiddy62]

Yes, gold still needs attention. I like most others except the front tex doesn't quite seem to fit in?

Keep creating!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[talisa]

thanx gdiddy

yeah its hard to get convincing-looking gold

also yeah, the front is just a placeholder untill i can think of what to put there
any ideas for what to put there? the original texture is just a mess which doesnt look like anything, so just about anything is ok

.

EDIT: i just had an epic idea!
was looking through HD textures from hexen2 and hexen to get an idea for a design,
and i found this texture which is from a door, and i had the idea to try putting that texture onto the front


how friggin awesum does that look? I f-ing love it myself!<3

.

EDIT2: also redid the gold of the rings, using same texture i used for cross of deflection as base

[gdiddy62]

Getting there now!!

[talisa]

et voila!

added shading to textures for all parts,
and fixed textures i temp used for all faces of chest together into one texture

and i also added a fake split shading line at the line in between chest and the lid all around, so that it doesnt look like a single piece

now all that remains is renaming all textures so they'll be a set,
and then i can export all pieces together and itll be done

[talisa]

ta-daa...

le chest is done!
