Rares: here's some tips from me: First one I ever did was a Porsche 959 taillight, couldn't find any good picture for a texture back then. Here's a crop from the sheet: You need to FULLY understand how the light is built, because you should paint it up in layers. I started this one by first painting a flat representaion of…
956 tris, 512 textures 902 tris, 512 textures I could probably take a few more polys off by deleting more backfaces, but I'll leave it for now. Maybe I should have used a 12-sided cylinder for the bottle... might change that if it continues to irk me. I'm making a security camera next, hi-poly soon.

I like that all the art is on one page, though the last 2 pages are redundant since Resume has all the relevant info. At least I suggest removing the last page and just add the contact field at the…
The Arctic freezer is the problem. Those particular aftermarket coolers are no better than the stock coolers and they make a lot of noise. Get yourself something with a large heatsink and can accept a 120mm (or whatever your case can accommodate) variable speed fan. Any 80-90mm fans tend to be noisy because they need to…
