Well a friend asked me about uv mapping priorities and I kind of went overboard. So as a mini-tutorial, here is a first draft on things to keep in mind when manually uv unwrapping. Any insight, correction or revision to what I have laid out would be appreciated, as I hope that this advice can be further refined into a full…
Thanks for your comments. @ waedoe: Regarding the size of the vehicle I don't have precise numbers but judging from the hatches you have mentioned the length is about 18 times of the hatch diameter. So depending of on the hatch size (I would expect about 70 - 80 cm the whole tank comes at a length of about 13 - 14 m, a…
hey Morris, here is my retake on part of the model. my main goal was to show you how you can achieve smooth clean results with minimal sculpting and more polygonal modeling. the character concepts you have (most of your designs actually) are very smooth with semi-hard edges. it if is a good idea to plan your base mesh…

Frell: Yeah, almost all the clothing parts are separate pieces. Im learning to use the power of subtools. And dividing things up in different sections. That…
Actually what you have modelled so far has much more of the characteristics of an AKM than an AK47 (the buttstock is from an AKM, so is the slanted muzzle break), so I'd say just stick with it and make an AKM instead (AKMs are also much more common than AK47). But of course the decision is yours. For comparison: AK type…
interesting that every now and then this type of thread and debate comes up. Personally, its not much of an arguement to judge a 3D packages capability because you can't see much stunning work out there. That's hardly solid proof. The simple fact is that often studios don't announce or shout about which software they use…
SSD are very expensive, it does not compensate very much nowadays. To have a small part of what you see in that youtube video you need to waste too much money, and you will not have a practical PC :). and you saw the dude? OMG that's what we call a FREAK.
