First Prop Study - Looking for Critique

dondon

      So, this is my first attempt at a potentially game ready prop. At this point I'm not really sure what to look for or improve here. I know the textures could be higher res and handled a little better, but I thought this turned out ok. What can I look out for when improving my modeling and texturing skills? Thanks everyone.

Hey , good try for your first attempt , let me give you a quick feedback.First of all ,if you have any reference photo , show it to us!

1) The barrel looks like its floating
2) The metal hoop is floating ( It suppose to be tight )
3) The metal texture just doesnt look right . The wood looks kinda smooth and new , but the metal have too much dirt . Besides , the dirt just seems to be too random . There is a reason why its there , even in chaos there is always a certain predictability .

By the way , what resolution are you working at ? If you are not going to present it in super close shot ,  I think it looks fine the way it is . Good luck!!!

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to critique this! Those things seem so much more obvious now, awesome! I'm gonna take another crack at it.
