Nowadays I´m using Blender for modeling and Photoshop for the texturizing. This are my first 6 models, that form a set for the Dragon Knight: Dragon of Olympus…

( 12 heavily overclocked water cooled i7-980x threads ) which still renders 20% better at stock speeds than a 2600k and is only 10% slower…
Welcome! It's looking good, I really like the concept nicely done! a.) I see a lot of welded mesh, which chunks up the tri count. Make sure to count tris because polys can have many triangles and at the end of the day most engines are counting tris. It depends on what engine and workflow you are doing but quite a few…
