Hello everyone!
Been working on this piece for some time and would appreciate critique or advice.
18.8k triangles, 2 texture sets.

Looks nice! Could be cool to see some wireframes of high and low polys

Thank you! Don't want to make excuses but must say the model isn't a recent one and the topology can be improved. Low poly is basically high poly but without support loops.

Awesome job on this.

Really can't find fault, either lighting, subd modeling or material generation. Although sure a few areas of the mesh could use further optimizing but not by much to be honest plus would likely animate quite nicely (re-load/un-load) since in FPV at LOD0 there's a good spread of silhouette complexity for those relevant parts, regardless of the texture surface in terms of lighting.
