[QUOTE=azgag;47536254]It's not that bad but optimization-wise you're gonna get a drawcall for each material on your mesh.[/QUOTE]
So if I had 100 of these houses in a map, I'd have 1000 draw calls compared to 100 if I just used 1 texture, right?

It depends on the engine you're using, In UE4 having 10 same meshes with 3 materials each will give you 30 drawcalls. I'm not exactly sure how Source works, I might run some tests to find out this weekend
I do believe that drawcalls in source don't add to the draw count if It's the same texture loaded on a different model
using different materials on the same model will create separate draw calls and using the same material on different models MAY be optimized to cost only one draw call depending on the engine

it will be less expensive than if you had built it out of brushes consisting of the same materials

in ue4 it will probably cost 3 drawcalls because of batching

I'm working on texturing an enemy for my Unity game, but I can't find a color pallet that works for what I want.
It's a bright and colorful level. I don't want the enemies to be grey because they'll blend to much into the background (the main object in the scene is a grey stone tower).
Help me pick some colors guys.

smoothing aaaaaaa
[QUOTE=OpethRockr55;47553134]Doesn't entirely look like smoothing errors. It's mostly Blender's fucked AO.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=WrathOfCat;47553555]Blender doesnt have veiwport ao and as far as cycles is concerned ao works fine :v:[/QUOTE]
Blender has had optional viewport AO since 2.74
regardless it's definitely smoothing not ao
That picture wasn't even taken in Blender -- how is it being flagged as the culprit?
That's 3DSMax's default viewport isn't it.
I thought I'd share some of WiP projects with you guys. Most of these models, if not all, only lacks texturing befeore I plan to put them in Cities: Skylines.

NIL here is the first real model made for Build Battle Destroy, a Source mod I've been working on. She's got a few kinks I've already decided will be addressed with the next version of her model, but for now, I hope she's good enough. Please let me know what you think!

Not really a big fan of furries, but it looks nice. Feels a bit simple, but that's not a bad thing. My main complaints is how the texel density is all over the place. Some bits of the texture are super blurry, while other parts are HD. Needs to be more uniform
Whatever you're doing with the eyes is a bit weird. Are they meant to be mirror finish? Lens-like? Glowing?

Yeah, tried something a bit different than the norm with the unwrapping, was trying to keep it neat for easier sorting. That went well enough, but yes, some things did end up not fitting quite right. Unfortunately didn't catch it on some of the worst parts until I was well into the texturing (like the snaps around her hips, ugh).
In case you felt like seeing it, the UV mapping for the main texture:

As for the simplicity, was intended to a certain point. She's an older, cheaper model of Synth (hence the large amounts of wood paneling), and was more intended in her original purpose for more utility than aesthetics.
Other issues her model includes are clipping at the limbs and almost half of her tri count (5,984/12,366) going in her joints (model needs to be able to be dismantled, so couldn't delete the normally unseen faces of the spheres).

Original idea was similar to stained glass for the coverings, but that was toned down to be more translucent, and lighter in color as well so you could better see what's going on inside. [img]http://i.gyazo.com/c0148bfe971c7ac8b41ecacc75983b4f.png[/img]
The broken white ring around the aperture that's her iris/pupil is meant to glow, yes, but, well, eye shader. Also wish I could've gone with something other than a simple image of gears for the "cornea", but worked well enough.

Yes that I was aware of, but wanted to do a bit of wear on parts (missing rivets, slight rust spots, etc., not really easily seen in the UV preview but they are there) and those wouldn't really look right being mirrored on both sides. As for all the circles (the "caps" of her different limb parts), left those mostly unstacked because I wasn't really sure how she was gonna be textured until I got into it, and didn't want mismatched textures (brass on the one part and iron on the other, etc.).
Truthfully speaking, she was originally meant as a quick "first draft" model, but then spent waaay too much time on her. Got excited I suppose.
