Old syringe

ivarhill

Been trying to become better at physically-based rendering - here's a syringe I've been working on the past few hours, rendered in Marmoset -





It's a rather high poly model at 4k tris, I'm working on reducing this significantly - but it's meant as a bit more of a hero prop.

All feedback appreciated!

Updated with wireframe, thought it might be informative - as I said though, definitely have optimization to do there!

texture flats?

As in sheets? I'm away from my workstation at the moment but I'll see if I can post some tomorrow

They are not perfectly optimized, anyway - I wanted to focus more on the texturing/material definition for this model so I spent a little less time UV-mapping then I'd normally want.

Great job man! You could bring down the tricount a bunch by collapsing every other edge as it gets thinner

See you tomorrow!

The way the renders look make me think somewhere between Borderlands and Fallout which is great if that's the look you want.

Looks brilliant mate. I think as well as collapsing edges, you could perhaps remove the little fixtures in the rings and have them just on the texture? Or perhaps simplify them a little bit. They seem pretty dense from the wires.

Looks wonderful! Great job

@Kimon: Yeah, I will definitely do that, in general there's a decent amount of retopo to do before I'll consider this a finished model

@supremedalek925: Thanks! Those have indeed been inspirational sources!

@Mike8917: Yeah, definitely. The way the rings look there is no reason not to remove those, so I'll do that
