Thompson and BAR Crits Please

Hi all

these were created by Tim Simpson for http://www.1944d-day.com:

Thompson














BAR M1918A2










Just some things to note, these weapons were considered new back in 1944. They would only have been used in training and excercises. They were also very well maintained, so the look of the weapons should not look as if they were dragged through a field.

If I can get crits and comments on how to bring more out on these it would be great.

I think the textures dont look sharp enough for being that high resulotion..

It looks like you have made the textures in 512 and then resized them to 1024.

Or... Have you saved them as .jpg with low quality?

RonanHayes

They are in low quality JPG.

They're pretty difficult to crit in such a artifacted state. If you're worried about using space, then shrink them down rather than compressing them into a bunch of big fat pixels.

damn man, you could just give us links to textures!+)

Ok added them at max detail, but droped them from 1024x1024 to 512x512.

If I were to give you just the links to the textures, not everyone would view them. Put them infront of people, and they will have an opinion and hopefully they will comment.

ok, thumbnails are perfecto for this case

Heya Ronan, long time no see you

Not a bad texture, but i think it lacks a lot of detail. The big metal plates are just a plain grey colour with some blunt highlights and shadows painted on. I'd add sharper light effets, more colour variations (like some blue and green bits) and with a simple action of a low opacity metal texture overlay it would improve a lot.
