    @Sneekyazn - Thanks - It's a Normal Render using Maya Software with AO over it and then a Sharpen and slight colour adjustment in PS.

    nice Icons bitmap!



    this is the first basic tileset of my newest personal project. it's basically a modular system of road tiles (so far) which will allow me to build up a city fairly quickly. :poly142:

    it is rather low poly (694 unique tris, but 122 when instanced) as my aim would be to get this running on devices like iPad or similar spec. I also aim for a rather clean simplistic look.

    Atm I am still working on the textures for this set, but I thought I'd share what I got done today.

    will do another 2-3 basic tilesets with different base style (so I can make different zones - eg. commercial, residential areas etc.) once that's done I will start making buildings

    let me know what you think

    @ Sandro Love the style on the renders. The doc is looking REALLY cool. Looking forward to see how it turns out :)

    @ bitmap haha, how is the selling going? :D They look really neat!

    I'm done with the UV mapping. Maya's packing function REALLY sucks. Spent like two hours of just packing by hand. And i'm done with the bake's, and some detail work. Some text should be there to soon.. Landed on 2966 tris.. i think i'll aim for a 44 tris bullet to (:

    Looks good, but if you want to use it on a portable device like iphone/ipad you shouldnt care much about instancing geometry. Your better off making it a single mesh/material for less draw calls. Also do you really need that much geometric detail? Where is the camera going to be? maybe you should just bake the entire block down to a single plane, maybe a plane with a bevel at the sidewalks.

    If its for something like a GTA game where the camera is only about 100 feet above the ground and always facing mostly down then what you have should work great.

    more closeups next time though!

    Zack Fowler: love it! only the tube looks to flat in two dimensions (roundness and depth)
    and these pillars that hold the tube are way to simple and boring looking for using so much screen space.
    in short, tube - bad ;)
    but except that its looking really nice!

    gauss, nice :) paint it pink and call it finished ;)

    HATERS CAN HATE BUT DARDICK 4 LYFE

    I really liked finishing up the AK high poly, and before launching into the whole process of the full bake I thought I might just relax on Sunday afternoon with a little more sub-d, cement the new skills into place. Well, my complete inability to budget or estimate time meant that "the afternoon" became "all night."

    but now at 5am i have another completed weapon in high poly. so there.

    The Dardick 1500 pistol is a really odd duck. (Read up about it's special triangular shaped trounds, twenty round revolver that cycled from an internal magazine and fed from clips. What?). It's an engineer's delight, and the market proved it a gunhaver's general horror, all wrapped up in looks only a mother could love. These days it's the essence of a rare collector's item/esoteric ammo collector's honeypot.

    Anyway I think I might wait to tackle the AK and just bake the Dardick first, since it's much simpler.

    The Dardick 1500 will be featured in my upcoming game. I invite you to do the same.

    @jmiles - Fantastic job on the sword - I really like how it turned out and it looks a whole lot better than some of the darker versions you posted earlier. Well done.
    @catstyle - Looking Awesome - really, just a great job on the gun - some of the patterns are a bit hard to make out but with if you seperate them through the texture I'm sure they'll turn out fine. I look forward to seeing all of this finished.

    I think I'll call the HP done:

  • Michael Knubben
    Harry: You've got some normal errors, and I'm curious whether the backside of the grip is meant to curve inwards in the middle? It seemed strange to me, but might actually be correct, I can't be sure.
    Also, it looks like you have to turn some edges, look at the specular highlight on the safety (I think? The thing on the back, up top?)

    It just looks like that cause of the envmap i carelessly slapped on. Some of the errors are probably aggravated by that too... But I know there are a couple. Im not sure what you mean about the safety, but the thing IRL is a pretty bizarre shape,

    does that confirm whether you're seeing an error or just a weirdly shaped object?

    sltrOlsson, The logo and checkering i'm putting on in photoshop, the grip grooves are on now and i'll probably put the trigger guard grooves on in photoshop.
    I see what you mean with there needing to be a curve at the bottom of the trigger guard, its kinda too late to be worth fixing now buttttt i'll see if i can just fudge it by shifting polies around
    I'll post an update when i have enough done to warrant an update, don't wanna keep spamming beretta pics with minor edits

    Harry his comment on the safety actually referred to the hammer - in your rear view you can see your spec highlight is at a slant instead of going straight across, just means you need to turn some edges in the low poly to get that working correctly.

    what makes it even more hilarious is the totally straight face on the character which totally works, since most drunk people try their best to look sober, esp in a sober crowd.
