LMFAO

anyways, all of us started somewhere, so keep progressing

I was aiming more at the people telling him to use a lower resolution, it doesnt really matter.

A little more work on this done today. I think its finally ready for unwrapping and baking... as soon as I decreased the thickness of those goggles straps.

I think you should define the edges on the googles a bit more, same thing with the helmet along the bottom curve

I see what you mean. Is this better? Put in some supporting edge loops.

Yus, now do the same with the hat interior thingy, looks like turbosmooth is doing most of the work there. Anything that makes it look like the real helmet and I guessing you have some reference for that, I'm no helmet shape connoisseur

Might be the perspective but the glass shape of those goggles seems to be oval on one side and circular on the other ;o

After some quality time with the family, I finally had a few days to work on my ejection seat again . Started texturing today and while it's still a bit rough I like where it's heading . (Sorry for spamming so much images).

You can spam all the images you want when they look that good!

penE, spamm all you want, that still doesn't make your super-quality stuff look bad! Keep it up man!

Meh, you always get the loss if you post after penE...

Made my final bake for the M2 Browning - 5,6k Tris / 3k Polys - 2k² Normalmap

Fuzyhead I see some scalloping on the barrel and possibly your handles as well. Don't know if angle of the render or if the normal map. Otherwise...

ACE! Just start posting right after me and you will always look like the best

For a UDK scene I'm working on.

Yeah true, tried to fix it yesterday together with some other errors I've been told. So the reworked version:

The model itself is quite lowpoly, but I invested some more polys on the round elements like the handle. If someone still sees some errors don't hesitate to tell me please

can you post wires ? looks like you don't split uv's where hard edge is, at lest at the front part with holes in it,

Sure, but I just received a strange render error with the normal map after reducing the normal to 2k. No idea what caused that problem... nvm mind them pls

But indeed, I didn't split the inner rings of the holes from the barrel in uv layout, but assigned different smoothing groups. That solution worked best for me so far. Tried both different smoothing groups and spilt uv shells (the transition between was quite obvious) as well as same smoothing group and uv shell (strange artifacts/gradients on the barrel). Would appreciate tips if you have some

1. where i see a seam (a diffuse will probably cover this up) but you should split uv here and make a hard edge,

are you are using one smooth group or several ?
2. i would just bake out those screws, but if you want those as a geo, i would model it not bake it

of course this is just my take on it, there are many ways to accomplish your goal

I'm using 2 smoothing groups, but they aren't split in the uv. Currently that works best for me like (see post above). I might check this again later, but unfortunately I have quite some thing to do. But thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it.

Anyway, just finished my lowpoly bake of the Foxhound I'm working on as well- exterior only 9,7k Polys and 17,8k Tris:

Finally baked the AO and normal and imported everything into the UDK. Feedback is welcome !

Oh and knj, I also split the holes of the M2 Browning in the uv layout as well and looks much better now, thx
