Ok, this is interesting. no UV's for highpoly models in game art. I am saying that Im multiplying the AO over the diffuse. It's what I learnt at digital tutors.

hey, RVN gorronegro thanks for checking back and the nice suggestion :) yes, i think stattraks are ever so cool and i have the feeling they could/should be taken further. i tried several things for my knives and now have three different ones that i use. i used my old cellphones and mp3-player as reference for these. but…
Rather than trying to start something new, start something different. If you're making a 3d model and you're losing interest, take some time out and do some sketches of anything you like, or go for a walk and look for interesting things to photograph.

This is the first time I worked digitally, as I have purchased my tablet only few months ago and until now not really had the time to get used to it (and I'm still not, way too used to traditional). Yet, I wanted to participate, especially because of the sci-fi theme. I decided to use the popular comic antihero "Judge…
