Hello,
I made this prop following along Simon Fuchs's newest hard surface tutorial. I have to say, that I learned a lot, and his high poly modeling technique in ZBrush is really fun.

    Materials looks very nice, very believable.



    I'm assuming this meant to be a game-ready model, so you might want to cut down your polycount in a few places, like on the maps and antennae thing to the left. Lots of unnecessary loops that don't do anything. Your bevels are also a bit inconsistent on the actual radio as well, the one at the very front could get a way with being like the one at the back in my opinion. 

    Otherwise a very nice piece of work, keep working at the topology and you'll have a great prop.

    Thanks for your comment. I'm happy that you liked my materials, I put a lot of time into them. 
    And you are right about topo, to be honest I didn't have any specific polycount limit during making low poly. That's why I have so many lops.
    But in future projects I will pay more attention to topology.

    Looks really good. Agree with TheLittleJay about poly count and the like. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for your comment. I'm happy that you like my work :smile: 

    Actually, after some feedback from DiNusty's empire discord I decided to build small scene around this radio. Also, I will change slightly base radio prop, with lower poly count and different antenna, it will become more polished. 
    So here are some WIP screenshots, I still need to work on proper scale and some story elements.

    I saw your work prior to this post, and I have to say nice work. Really neat materials, however, like pointed out, too many verts on places where there they aren't really supporting anything. As well the telephone cable seems a bit too short for me, and the bevel maybe could lose a few edge loops, and bake the rest.

    Other than that really great work, and for the new scene I suggest adding tons of damage to the building with sculpting and adding displacement textures.

    Cheers mate!

    I finished blocking part and started working on single props. Still I have to think about adding more small details. Also I have no idea how to tackle main house. Should I sculpt it as a whole object or maybe somehow divide?
