Well, big leap here but it's finished. I could really use some feedback and crits on this since I need to put some in my report for the model, thanks in advance for any replies. Renders: Wires: Turntable: 2048 diffuse, normal and spec maps and a final tri count of just over 15k (I made the chains waaaay too high poly, only…
Yeah to a certain extent. I mean the game journalist like to fuel those flames as it earns them a ton of ratings. Though while I get annoyed at the average gamer I really blame the journalists.
