Reopened this old model and redone great part of it, I wanted to add everything I have learned in the past 8-9 months. Fixed a few errors, remade/retopo'd some pieces, made a cleaner bake, and redone textures from scratch. Total tricount went down to 37k (from the original 42k).
ok Hazardous as promised here is a print of the knight but smaller. Personally i think it came out pretty well, only one problem was breaking off the sward, but that was my clumsy fingers not the build :) the guy measures 42mm to the top of his head. Pretty much all the detail has been kept, lost a few of the smaller…
All right Keg, this is what CatLog spat out. There's some other junk in there like the power saver turning on at the end, and i think some lines in the beginning were there before . launched PolyViewer. But I'm sure you can make sense of it. beginning of /dev/log/systembeginning of /dev/log/main 07-02 19:58:13.920 E/GetJar…

Though loads of…
One other thing you might try is the "GSoC 2017 - Normal Editing Tools" branch of blender: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?427746-GSoC-2017-Normal-Editing-Tools" I tried creating custom normals in that version on a simple model using the built in tools and using mirror, and other then needing to clean up…
OMG I didn't even see this until today. You agreed to do a second model at the same price as the first one, then you tried to double your price on me and justify it by doing an extra model that I didn't even ask for. Then I agreed to pay you for the work and you sent me models with textures that were so dark I could hardly…
If you go with the 2,718 tri lod you could probably round out the gauges, bottle and tank a bit and still come in under 3k? Especially if you delete the unseen tris. You could probably push it up to 5k or hell even leave it, 8k -unseen isn't going to be that expensive really. And as if we haven't beaten this dead horse…
