Sketchbook: beartraps

beartraps

Hey everyone! Ive been doing game art for about 3 months now and I'm about to take my first 3d sketch dump...: Feel free to critique!

Walther P99, first low-poly normal mapped game model, about 1560 tris:






Ammobox, around 1200 tris:





Barrier, around 700 tris:





Barricade around 300 tris:

MoP

pretty cool stuff, although i don't see why that ammo box is 1200 triangles, it really looks like it should be much, much less...

p99 turned out great man.
i really like the barricade and the conc block, dunno if it's just the graffiti but it looks a little unique (which is nice considering how many concrete blocks everyone's doing :P).

the ammo box looks a bit too worn in tho (scratches and stuff are turned up really high on teh normal map), and it looks like it's filled with gold bullion rather than bullets but that might just be me

Ged

u gonna put these all in one scene?

@ MoP- I agree about the box, most of those extra tris are from the rounded cylindrical parts. Without those it would probably be around 500 tris.

@ Nizza- Thanks man, and I agree with u as well and i was thinkin the same thing about the damage. Im gonna tone it down because it looks like overkill. The bullet also give off too much specular so ill tone that down as well

@ Ged- Ill probably put the gun and box in one scene on top of a table and use the other stuff for an environment one day.

Took off some of the damage, tweaked the specular and normals:

lookin heaps better man... and yeah those cylindrical curving bits eat up tri's like crazy

also, just throwing it out there, considered desaturating the colour on the bullets a little, maybe pushing the yellow down a bit? Kindof a small thing but just thought i'd mention it :P

word, thanks for the ref nizza. i think the bullets look muuuuch better:
