    Incredible - best Millenium Falcon I can remember seeing on these or any other boards! :thumb:

    I keep looking at the cockpit waiting to see Han and Chewy walk in and sit down. LOL! :D

    thanks :)

    So hows the UV mapping coming on Chris.
  • ChrisGFXChrisGFX362 GermanyPosts: 607Member
    I'm almost done with UV mapping. It was more work then expected ... oh man over 10000 single parts to unfold ... thats not too far away from insanity :D

    when I'm done I have to reorganize the UVs. A good friend of mine who is working at a big Studio gave me some tips to improve the UVs.

    So not too long and I can start texturing which will be the next challenge! :)

    That's outstanding. Please pass on the tips for improving the UVs.

    It's possibly the very definition of insanity. ;)

    Yes Chris i do hope you pass on your UV tips. 10,000 Single objects, that's a hell of allot to deal with mate.
  • SeanPSeanP218 Posts: 256Member
    OH WOW!
    And I thought the UVWs for the main hull of my battle carrier were driving me crazy and I only have about 10 pieces. Though this is the first time I've played with the UVW unwrap. Now I'm trying out the textools plugin that was recommended to me. :)

    Hi everyone

    long time no post ...

    ... worked on the Cockpit parts again. I'm done with the Pilot Seat.
    I have used reference material made by Joshua Maruska.

    There will be some better textures with more dirt and a less shiny food ... but that comes later. I'm quiet happy with it now.

    Hope you like it

    more soon

    PS: I'm still working in the UVs. Its a real pain in the but to get working UVs for all the tiny details.

    Looks great Christian, did you seat Joshua's rear seats as well. Very detailed and good references.

    Still don't envy you those UV's

    yes, working on the NavSeats right now. Never known that they are that detailed :)

    I'll have something to show soon
  • John MarchantJohn Marchant336 Posts: 96Member
    Yes i believe they used old Royal Air Force Ejector Seats for the rear ones. I think they went to lots of scrap yards especially military ones to get bits and bobs for the interior.

    Glad you got the UV's done, now lets see some of that texturing. I see Paul (Wiz) has used your model in a render, did he do his own texturing then.
  • ChrisGFXChrisGFX362 GermanyPosts: 607Member
    ah yes Paul :)

    no, he didn't made any textures. Its just a simple shader and a paintover in Photoshop.

    He was just testing for me if the model loads fine into 3DS MAX.
  • John MarchantJohn Marchant336 Posts: 96Member
    Well he did a great job, although i suppose its limited in the angles he can render if it was just shaders. So i take it it loads fine in Max. I hope it will convert fine into LightWave.
  • ChrisGFXChrisGFX362 GermanyPosts: 607Member
    I hope it will convert fine into LightWave.

    it will I'm sure :)
  • John MarchantJohn Marchant336 Posts: 96Member
    Glad to hear it Chris

    Hello everyone,

    started with textures and I'm done with top side colour marks.

    I'm not happy with the red colour yet ... needs some adjustments.

    That's one awesome model.

    The red does jump out to much. Maybe a little desaturation would help it.
  • ChrisGFXChrisGFX362 GermanyPosts: 607Member
    Thank you for your comment :)

    yes the red need some work. I'll work on it when I'm done with the bottom marks
  • John MarchantJohn Marchant336 Posts: 96Member
    The red could be slightly darker or less saturated but once its chipped, streaked a bit and such it will look allot better. Could also be my screen as well. Are you using PS for texturing. Got to wonder what using Quixel or SP would do for it.
  • evil_genius_180evil_genius_1804256 Posts: 11,034Member
    Looking great, Chris. I also think the red will look a lot better once it's weathered. I think that's the thing here, it's too pristine, and nothing on the Falcon was pristine. ;)

    yes, agree ... it'll looks much better when weathered :)
