Bicycle WIP

Sakunia

Hi polycount.

I'm working on a bicycle for a project.
My highpoly tobad i had some problems with the source file so i only go the smoothmesh to polygons converted mesh so i cant edit it anymore that easy.

Maya viewport 2.0


Lowpoly 5k tris now


My aim for the model is 6-7k tris mabybe less.
I hope i can get some suggestions for how to model the low poly and bake the chain & gears. I tried to bake it on a plane but didn't look that great and messy.

For a 6-7k budget alpha'ing the chain wouldnt be a good idea. Alpha'ing those spokes seems like a fair trade though. For the chin/gears a simple cylinder would suffice i reckon. You wont be going in that far in anyways i guess

Add some control edges to your low res so that the bake/smoothing groups dont get screwed up.

Thanks for the feedback i still went with the planes not that sure yet how it will work out but we will see
this is a screenshot of the lowpoly



I have now 70% baked at the moment, and I did a bit of textureing
