Hi, Good morning! And look what have i got here:








So i decided to remodel my old model what i did 4 years ago, and that what have i done in 3 days. My skills after all of that time are still noob-like. All done in XSI Softimage.

hehe it is oicw,last seen in a game way long time ago

Are you intended to make low poly and bake normal maps as well? Then you have some too sharp corners that would give you flickeringly thin edges when baked the normals,you need to make some edges intentionally bolder than the real one.Also you may want to make the side panels more sloppy extruded just for having better results in the bake,check both of these pics:

My goal is to make high poly model first to make a submission to a contest i'm doing it for. So the model how it is now need more details or something? And After the model is done i want to make a render something like that one
