GUI Console

[Deleted User]

doing a gui console from a Paul Richards concept for game asset and development. tri limit is 2000, currently at 722.

im not sure if i should use the 2000 tris to my advantage for smoothness, or make a high poly and use the normal map.

critiques are highly welcome

The biggest flaw is that the space devoted to what I assume the GUI will be on is tiny. It would be like an iPhone screen on the top of a chair. In other words, the scale doesn't make sense, and usability would be right out of the window. I would focus more on the actual screen real estate and then build the console around it, rather than building a large console with no actual screen worth using.

As for the mesh, the pics are so small, and are dark grey on black (ugh) that I can't even tell what anything is. Closeups, more wire/angle shots etc with a better lighting/colour setup are needed.

Then theres the polycount... 2,000? Really? It doesn't look anymore than 500 at best, and most if not all of that detail could be done with a decent normal map.

Right now the console doesn't match the concept for me. Its too blocky and many of the details are missing.
