Hello @Neron ! Thank you for your speedy reply! Roger that! Is this Texel Density alright? Oh I had thought about cutting off the legs and have it duplicated for the other side but didn't come across of doing it. I have done the mentioned changes. Using the image above, The back two legs are a separate model using the same…
The road wheels really seem to be eating up an excessive number of polygons. I'd leave the top of the cylinders as solid, with the normal map supplying the more complex geometry. Depending on the final scene, you can probably limit them to cylinders with 8 or at most 12 sides, rather than the 20 you are currently using.…
Thanks for the big resolution shots! Looks promising. You'll probaby fill the scene up more, but right now, the big empty floor area with the repeating board pattern is something that stands out immediately. The shot towards the sun works best in that regard, as the specular breaks up the shading. The materials and colors…
Your treads/tracks or whatever you call them look weird. It looks like the thing is balancing on just one wheel, and your machine is going faceplant at any second. Give them a more defined shape and make sure the treads are actually touching the ground. Also related to the treads, the thing looks top heavy. It seems like…
No, I fully understood what he meant. However, for it to be "modular" design, breaking it up into small pieces would break that. It's not really modular anymore if you are just using generic A with generic B and generic C; when A + B + C = D. If that makes sense. The more you break 1 piece down into many, the less generic…
Starting to break down the model into sections for how I plan to break up the different material sheets. This is the first time doing a prop with multiple sheets so I was trying to figure out how and where things should be broken up. My theory for what I have is a material for the general painted areas (Pink), the interior…
Right now I'm reading 'Your Inner Fish' by Neil Shubin. It's about how the idiosyncracies of the evolutionary development of our own bodies can be enlightened by experiments and research into animal (particularly fish) anatomy, embryonic development and fossils. This is written by the same guy who found Tiktaalik in the…
