Tank Rover Midterm Progress

I've made some progress for the first half of the class. I still plan on revisiting pretty much ever section though for another pass just to be sure it's how I want everything.

The first Concept Image. I know, painful to look at.

Current Base Mesh Renders:
High poly:

Still plan on adding detail, particularly fuel lines.


Normals:

I combined my detail normals w/my baked normals for the main elements at the moment. I'm probably still going to tweak these and adjust the intensity of the detail map because at the moment it looks like some meteors hit my rover based on how deep some of the grainy detail is.

Also the side panels I had to go back and make them jet out from the armored plating further to accentuate that detail so the normals would show them better. When I applied the normals with my diffuse map initially all of the detail disappeared so I had to make them more pronounced.


Diffuse Maps:

I've made a little progress on these. I've updated the wheels since I've gotten the normals baked out and added some rust areas. I had a questions as to what the material of the chair was. It's supposed to be a wooden seat with some leather material pulled tight over the seat and stapled at the back, which I plan to texture this onto the back of the chair in the diffuse map later on.



Specular Maps:

Simple black and white maps that I'm not going to upload to save time and space since it's easy to just imagine the diffuse maps desaturated. However at the moment I haven't really done any tweaking to the spec maps, so I plan on going in and actually getting levels that I like later on.

Damaged Rover:

I haven't touched this since I showed it. I will go back eventually and update it. Finished damaging it and tweaking the texture...like adding the normal maps and making sure that the texture itself is based from my most recent diffuse maps so it doesn't look like the entire vehicle didn't change upon being destroyed.
