WIP - Fennek - Game Project

Joel F

Hey there, i'm soon finished with this Fennek for a school project. The game is set in a small Swedish city therefor the Swedish-camo and number plates.
Please come with some last suggestions before i call it finished. Because of time restrictions the normalmap is made of hightmaps instead of high-lowpoly baking. The vehicle is abour 3000 tris, 512x512 colour, normal, spec and ambient maps. It took about 1.5 weeks to make. The gif is only 256 colours, so it might look abit more blend than it really is.

Wow Joel, that looks great!
The only thing I have to "complain" about is maybe that you didn't make the weels more like this:

Ey, thank you Karl, anyways i already fixed it but was too lazy to post a new pic xD

for vertex color interpolation (depending on the lighting used) the center vertex wheels are actually better, with the parallel lines more lighting artefacts will occur when wheels are rolling

And if the engine supports fan stripping, it'll be as good as the tri-stripped version I suppose.

I think another thing you have to take into consideration is that it may vary depending on engine.

With CryEngine 2, you're supposed to try not to have more than four edges converging on one vertex, so perhaps the tri-stripped version would be better for it, and perhaps the same thing with UE3. (?)

There seems to be dirt on the windows but not on the car, or at least not enough, it can get pretty muddy in Sweden. I like the design, it reminds me of a Diablo Lamborghini Want to make it cooler? take the camo layer and desaturate it about 50% :P make some scratches where the pain have come off mostly on exposed edges and rember to dirty it up.

Suggestion for future projects: You mirrored the front window but not the 2 identical sides of the car, only the camo is different. the butterfly effect is not nice although you dont really notice it at first glance. I would have in this case tried not to mirror the front window but the sides as you never see them at the same time.

Lycka till!

PS of course this is just optional because it might not fit with the school project. Yeh suggestions.

Ey thanks alot for the comment, i will try it tomorrow at school for sure (:, the texture is abit blend i know, texturing is what im worse at, but hopefully i get better with time ; ).

Joel F

I added some dirt and stuff (:

shouldnt there be a door handle?

Joel F

xD yeah, i just had that layer hidden :P

Progress:

Very cool, good use of normal map on the dirt too! Altough, there could be more color variation on the dirt. :P

Hehe crazy eye detail spotting :P Ah the day my senses are on the same level...


Hey I think the weakest part is the windows, can you put a environment map on it? If you can not ask Ivar :P

SuPa-

I'm really liking the progression of this
Keep at it!

We wanted cubemaps on the windows, but with the time we got left on the game project it seems impossible to do
