Thanks again for everyones help[ thus far. I looked into Floater island baking and I gave it ago with mixed results. I'd like some critique on my texturing so far. I am putting this down now for a bit to get on with other parts of the project. But I'd like to be able to come back to this at a later date with a clear idea…
On link below page, press ctrl+F and then search "Panel", at least one example there Subdivision Surface Modeling - polycount also check google as well if needing some more step by step for the baking process, looks like one good tutorial here: ArtStation - Understanding High Poly Floaters for Baking Details
Another update... Very closed to finishing all exterior modelling. I will not be modelling interior ar this stage. But If I have time at the end, I will do so... Anyways... Low Poly model is 34k tris High Poly model (2 sub divs. Will most likely do 3 or 4 when I export for baking) is 280k tris. Hopefully this is good…
hey, really cool project, awesome to see the learning process just adding on to what michael has said, a few tips to make modeling go a little easier: you only need edges to define the silhouette. It can help to use flat shading in the viewport so that the only thing you can see is the silhouette. Orbit around the model…
Thank you very much for your comments Alex (and by extension, Michael). I totally understand what you mean. The reality is, this is my first time modelling something like this with such curvature and so as I began modelling the main body of it, I made some destructive mistakes (i.e adding too many loop cuts where they were…
Quick WIP update... I've remodel this thing about 5...maybe 6 times now? Obviously this isnt sustainable but all part of the learning process I guess. I've managed to get the doors cut-out WITHOUT doing a boolean difference which I did not think I'd be able to achieve. But over the past week I've become gradaully more…
