Hey buddy. Challenge your self a little more. This looks OK. Nice execution. How ever this would never be in a game known to man. 2048 on 800 triangles? For a pistol? Not gonna happen. Put a 512 on this, what does it looks like? You wont read that tiny text even for an FPS view. Now if this isn't for a game, and just for…
Update, 2 hours work. Redid the body so it's modeled nice and smooth. Then built all the suspension and brake parts. Steering still needs some parts. Polycount is going up scarily fast, almost 8000.
yeap like everyone said- spec map needs some lovin. also I`m not sure about 12800 tris. Seems a bit steep but I could be wrong. I know charachters in UT3 run the 6000-8000 range it seems as if thats as "next gen" as it gets right now. I`d say on your next project try a nd hit a lower poly count. Super kickass otherwise.…
Great update! That should produce a nice normal map. As for how many polygons your low polygon object should be? For that I would say 200-400 polies on the conservative side and 600-800 if you wanted to really round out the corners and the cylinders. Just my estimates though.
What's up Zcubed, if you want to know the secret to becomming a good modeler, well the first is to start using reference and the second you are doing already which is practice. Over all you are doing a good job. Try to only put edges were there is detail. For example if you can define the shape of a curve with only 4 edges…
They can pay the new kid less but you will have far more experience. They may only make $12/hr but if it takes them 20hrs to do something you can do in 4hrs then it's not economically viable. Also that new person may need 5 hrs of help and meetings from a senior artist. Companies aren't head hunting fresh out of school…
Tanks for the crits and advise i did do it whit blueprints maybe its the angle of the pic that make it look sqashed? i did take care of the jagiies and i also did look at model kit for ref so i guess its a lesson learned... The current poly count is 10 800 poly will post a screen later tonight
