Hi guys, since my last thread is a while ago I wanted to post a new mesh I work on since yesterday.
It's not too special but I want to improve my texturing skills, modelling skills, etc..
Also it's ment to be a future portfolio piece. Maybe I'm going to make a scene out of it later.

I'm done modelling and baking, so now it's time to texture

Here a screenshot of the low poly mesh in 3Ds max (rendered with 3Point Shader)



Tell me what you think so far. (I know it's not too much, but maybe you have a crit.)

C&C welcome as always

Cheers,
Shad0w_Walker

Please post a pic of your reference, hard to comment on accuracy when we can't see what it's based on.

Here are my two reference pictures.





Since I had big problems finding more detailed ones I used these 2 only and did the rest with imagination.
One issue I had was the Coin release. Since I couldn't see how the geo looks like i didn't model it in.

Here is another shot with some basic textures. (I won't do the Coca Cola design)

Here is a small Update:




At this point there is no specular map and no gloss map.

Please tell me thoughts about this object so far. (Good and bad ones)

Cheers & have a nice day,

Since the edges in the concept are quite round, you might want to add a little bit more geometry and bevel the edges in the low poly to accommodate the roundness. Really try and pay attention to the roundness or sharpness in the edges of the concept. Not all edges are equally as round. There is some variation.

Looking good. You should create your own fictional drink and logo though, all seems too close to the existing drink, Powerade. Artistic licence is half the fun...

@Tobbo:
Well I didn't notice that to be honest. You're completly right. I will try to add some bevels to make it look more round. Thanks!

@Lankus Maximus:
Thanks!
Actually the logo and the drink is fictional. I know Powerade, but to be honest I didn't notce the similarities. ^^
I will redo the drink name (At least an other name and a other symbol than a lightning bolt.)

Thank you very much for your feedback guys!
