Oh my God how did you do the hands? Is it actually 2d or 3d
The game as of now looks amazing doe

Oh my God how did you do the hands? Is it actually 2d or 3d
the hands are 2d sprites, they're usually made by taking an existing sprite from a boomer shooter and smoothing, recoloring, and drawing over them
for example, the hand sprite grabbing the revolver is originally from powerslave
unique crag
Ooh, thats pretty cool, but how do you manage to overlay the new sprite on each frame or is there a plugin/add on for it?
low thicket
the weapons are prerendered models, and what i do is render a handful of them and resize them to fit with the 2d hand sprites

Yeah, the orange lights look really good, it adds a feeling to the scene, but it could be darker.
It might look better when its darker, or it might look worse.

I think the arch could be improved a bit by adding straight walls underneath and changing the height of the arch
You also might benefit a bit from making the hallways more constricted to bring some tension and unease
Just make sure to add depth to the wall to make it visually appealing

Also I really do think making that orange hallway more constricted is what you're looking for
Don't be afraid to play with space, add extra random brushes to make the hallway more narrow / widen suddenly just to add depth.

granted that is a problem though those are mainly the different ways how edges and vertices and relations to texture work differenate the shape may look right though the normals may not , yes they have alot edge cuts so what , not every normal on small polyginal mesh thats only like 3 polygons needs to be checked . even most of these are fun first attempts that might not work the first time yet you dont know and thats the fun part

there aint a single thing in here that makes any sense my man
pure jackal
You post your models here and look for feedback. The feedback is always the same. Your hearts in the right place and you got the shape but your methodology for making the shape isn't going to hold up to scrutiny regardless if its finished or not.
We give you the feedback on how to keep the shape and have valid geometry that works, doesn't just look nice, and you continue to ignore us saying that you're still learning
If you give us edge soup that looks like a gun, we're going to tell you, thats a gun, but its edge soup
fickle zinc
sometimes its better off that way
spare scarab
also as a side note
picking up random terms like normals and using them all the time doesnt make you sound any more correct
nothing about the things you post has anything to do with normals, at all
pure jackal
Normals are which way the face renders. Its not how the face is made up
fickle zinc
look not every model is gonna look right ok
spare scarab
it's not about how they look mango
pure jackal
They look fine
spare scarab
it's about how you make them
pure jackal
It's the makeup that's the problem
fickle zinc
that is why the ak is basically the only that is considered usble the other projects are something else
pure jackal
But even the AK has a bunch of problems
spare scarab
im not trying to dogshit on your models, plz understand
the problem here is that the way you're making them will develop a lot of bad habits that will prevent you from growing and improving your models
you'll effectively have to almost re-learn your workflow at some point
if you want to make better things
pure jackal
We get it, its a hobby now, but if you at one point in the future decide to try and make a career out of it, and you show companies your models, every industry is going to laugh you out of the interview because no matter how good you get at making them look good, not following fundamental modeling techniques are going to stick out like a red flag covered in blood on mars
They're gonna load the model into Blender, notice an obsurdly high polycount, and the second they hit tab and see the edgework, they're gonna shred your resume
Business asides, if you branch out to texture your models and try and do renders with them, they're gonna look fucked up and take a long ass time to render
fickle zinc
high poly count sure
spare scarab
and is this the model you'd submit?
fickle zinc
its for a mod

This, right here, is why I push greybox phase so hard in level design.
spare scarab
Da dev tex....
granite kite
I find many amateur devs make a easy mistake during gamedev (usually around the level design phase).
Greyboxing doesn't necessarily mean everything has to be grey. It means everything is left (mostly) untextured, because final places aren't set in stone, so to speak, yet.
The amateur developer thinks it's faster and easier to get a level finished completely instead of getting the whole game blocked out. The reason why amateur devs do this (typically) is cause they're used to working alone and doing things without anyone depending on them; or depending on others.
The reason professional devs don't do it is because they have other team members. People who need them to get a basic model out, so they can get code systems in place; or graphic designers waiting for a layout so they can get ideas on what textures to make.

You neglected to tell us that you still have that one face a split object from the model
You gave both us and them conflicting information and as a result they have given you the wrong advice because you asked a question that only made sense with the perception that the face you had split, was not split, and had extra vertices weilded to it
Splitting a face off from the model to prevent it from technically being an ngon doesn't fix your problem

fickle zinc
fine you want a version thats different then here , dont expect it to live up to standards
spare scarab
the "standard" is not to make the same mistake 7 times
pure jackal
Here is how you can adjust your AK to remove the currently existing ngons
With these adjustments, your AK is now geometrically valid and prime to texture without any risk of UV or rendering issues
to get the knife to stick to vertices, press the K key, and hold CTRL
best practice is to split NGONS into tris but for the sake of simplicity, and the fact that the model is already as low poly as it is, quads will be fine.
Please man
for the love of god
Stop ignoring what we're telling you
ignoring the problem does not make it go away
Making the same mistake on the same model over the course of 2 weeks and not implementing changes and adjustments recommended day 1, will only lead to said instructions being repeated the next time you ask for feedback
and if you don't know how to adjust something
ask how
don't just go "I don't know how to do that so I won't"

Btw, is this gonna be a horror mod?
not really, there are some horror elements but it's not intended to be a horror mod
the gameplay structure is intended to be a hybrid of half-life styled shooters and metroidvanias, with some inspiration from the first zelda game
so the player will be able to obtain movement upgrades and new weapons by exploring the environment, able to tackle most of the game's objectives in any order they choose
a key inspiration is the mod 'cold as hell', its gameplay structure is similar to what i'd like to do https://youtu.be/jmBFwbndoVg

If you're working in a non-PBR engine, this may be of use. Once setup, it can be dragged+dropped to the top of your Substance Painter stack (or in your Substance Designer graph) to roughly convert PBR maps into non-PBR maps (minus shadows; use "Baked Light Environment" for Painter and "RT Shadows" node in Designer). There is also a custom export for Painter that works well in conjunction with the filter. Less useful for most people here are the examples of use/implementation for Source Engine (CSGO branch).
Basically it should allow you to work in a PBR engine-agnostic workflow, and then just using this filter should get you 90% of the way to a decent non-PBR diffuse, plus some other stuff. Most things are adjustable through sliders.

Think of placing your seams like that for a start

-non curved UVs (so e.g. split in the middle of a 180 )
-hidden seams (place them where they wont be easily seen)

quick question how does one access a ruler in blender
arctic radish
the default Blender cube is the default cube size in Godot which is 2 units
idk about how Unity scales
so in general I like to scale everything by units of 2
so lets say you have a door frame in a map
and the player height is less than 4 units (2 cubes in blender stacked)
so the door frame would need to be 4 units tall
For weapons
Generally I prefer to save the arms of the enemy/object/player and then just model the weapon and then append the weapon in the player arm scene and then scale it that way.
my rule of thumb is the player and hostiles should no t be more than 2 blender cubes tall (unless it's intentional for that particular thing)
it saves the hassle of not knowing how big your objects and map size is compared to the player

one blender unit is 0.5 unity units

there's 4 buttons to deal with an "enemy"
There's Attack, Guard, Talk, and Run
See that bottom bar?
Basically how you deal with an enemy will either decrease/increase that "your Location" (which isn't what it's called I just put that there for the funee) bar
And it will either end the battle with a Positive or Negative outcome depending on how you handle the battle
With the bar going Left for positive, and Right for negative
I've already got the system set up for it, just figuring out how to deal with the actual effects of the Positive or Negative outcomes themselves

if you've moved them in edit mode, you need to make sure you know where the Object's origin is

you'd need to Shift+D, Alt+P to clear the parent and Then move the object
(only if the duplicated object is weight painted to a rig/ the object is parented to another object)

source shit is kino
Yeah, I dig Source urbanism. But making a big map is obviously a struggle
Source generally has problems with long loading process, so playtesting big maps is a nightmare
I'm thinking about doing Hammer++ shit because of it
because you can at least see the prebaked lighting in the editor
spare scarab
now, i know this might not be applicable but
since source and quake are similar in many ways how they handle compiling/lighting, could you group up a portion of the map, isolate it from the rest, test the lighting small-scale without needing the compile the whole thing over again, and moving on to the next portion?
@sonic cloud
sonic cloud
It is an option
but separating the map and compiling it may be a problem in some cases
when your map is built around teleports or simple corridors, it's easy to compile parts of the map separately
but it's more unwieldy to do with City maps
you will have to make some sort of barriers manually, so there wouldn't be any leaks
If there are any leaks, the lighting will be fucked
