Practicing

Hey Polycount,

I have been working on this small prop for a while and I wanted some crit. I also wanted to know if there is a good way of fixing this alignment problem. The original shape was a cylinder and it seems to have moved of something. Wondering if there is a good way to fix it.

Also looking for some crit. on the textures. I am not sure about the red though.



Thanks

I am a little confused about what I looked at tbh. Is that first picture a prop? You should take a render of it zoomed out so people can see what it is.

As for the texture I quite like the red tbh! But the texturing needs work. I assume it is meant to be metal? A lot of it is reading as metal. Do you have a spec? You should post the flats so we can see them properly.

A really good metal tut is by Racer445 a genius at texturing, well at everything!

Good luck

Yes. The base material is metal. I also wanted the red to be painted metal. I need to work on the scratches more. Yes I do have spec. Only B/W. Need to work on that too. Racer is amazing, yes.

The random spread out locations of the damage to the metal makes it unconvincing.
