Just a Canon

Hi.

I think I've finished but I would appreciated your suggestions and recommendations.
It was made on Mudbox and I want to be sure that everything is fine before do any retopology.

Looks OK, though I do see a bit of texture stretch near the base of the barrel. Also, I think the wood texture normals have been projected over the bolt on tghe middle of the wheel, so you may need to fix that. Overall shape is good, though the texture could use a bit more love IMO.

Can we see the maps?

Thank you for sharing your comments. I will fix the wood texture because it is projected on the bolt.although I can not see where you said the texture is stretch.
Maps I will post very soon
Cheers

Aferalva6, what look/style are you going for? The stretching is right near where the powder would be lit. It looks like a few rings of uvs are bunched together.

Here's some examples of where there is stretching, the distance apart on your UV map in these areas is probably slightly too big for the amount of UV space, try dragging them closer until it looks a little less stretched.

Some of the textures look a bit noisy. Might want to reduce the normals on some spots. And as other users have said above, there is indeed some uv stretching issues going on. But its a good piece.

Thanks everyone for your comments very useful. I have made some changes with my uvs.
Dimfist : Not sure about the style I saw this canon in Croatia I took a picture of it and decide to made a model.

I think that is it, I will start with the retopology

The wood seems very saturated for an old cannon. And the edges could use some wear&tear. I'd add some dirt to the texture as well.

Also consider the age of your cannon. The one you saw is probably very old and has spent many years exposed to the elements. A newer cannon will have shinier, smoother metal. If you're going for an old cannon I'd give it some more rust.

Thank you for your comments and the time to put some references.
I will make sure to go back and try your recommendations.
