Low poly diver

HonkyPunch

Diver man!
He goes to the bottom o' da seas doing diver man stuffs!
He keeps me up late, and makes headaches!
His textures are uninspired!
BEHOLD!
The texture is very shitty. I hope to improve on that.
I'm happy with the model, but texturing gets me. Any tips for the textures, anyone?

Could we get a texture flat?

HonkyPunch

I have the UV layout, I deleted the textured one cause the texture sucked hard.
Uv is kind of shitty, but it was the best I could get.

Looks like an autoUV because everything is arranged in squares.I think you can easily gain a LOT more texture space usage by arranging those pieces by hand. Also consider welding a few that belong together, the model doesn't look that complex so it can probably do with less UV chunks.

HonkyPunch

Mhhmmm, wings 3d's UV thingie is kinda confusing (As are all to me) but I might be able to make a decent UV if I try.
The model is simple, 192 polygons to be exact.
(But the fucker took me forever because I started from scratch 8 or so times.)
I'm also thinking about getting rid of the legs in favor for some different ones. I'm not so sure though..
Plus, Any decent tutorials for texturing simple models? I don't want anything for texturing a model with a billion polygons or something.

One of my teachers refers to that as digital confetti. Basically you have too many tiny chunks to the point where it becomes useless to paint them. You definitely might want to try sewing some of those together.

I found Poopinmymouth's UV unwrap tutorial very very useful in figuring out how exactly UV's work, even though he was using max and I was using Maya. It should be on poopinmymouth.com

The only thing I can add that hasn't already been said, is I always read this thread title as Holy Diver, and think someone made a Ronnie James Dio model.

HonkyPunch

Heh, nope. This guy's name is soapy....

Bioshock mod for system shock 2?

HonkyPunch

Nah, Can't wait for bioshock, though.
I just made this as a possible UT character, or maybe Quake (if I could get the right formatting shit)
