Post some renders

I think he mentioned the minor detail that he is just now unwrapping the model.

you can render things flat shaded last time I checked.

wow very nice and inovative

uh, you don't need to texture a model to do a simple render. People do it all the time.

ew maya

a new tutorial that i have written yesterday. it's on "how to setup maya to work with hl2"

Rendering such model might make it hard to see what you look at due to the lack of wireframe on top of the faces so his printscreens are fine

Is there a polylimit ? Some things are quite low poly like the pillars and those cube things at the bottom of the pillars, they look real basic and thick. And maybe you could add a little fence around the thing.

And the triangulation of the base platform is wrong.

Looks like a good start.

Yep, 1024.

your texturings kinda stands out. No real consistent color scheme. No blending like I find a lot of envioronments do naturaly. This is most apparent in your base and stone walls. The stairs kinda merge with the base, and than the base doesn't merge at all with the stone walls. maybe add a trim of that brownish color ontop of the bluish stone to make it more consistent?

The roof looks good to me, but indeed, i think you should try to remake the texture of the base, it's too "empty", it needs way more details to not just looks like a generic texture.

its decent for a very low poly model . i love that your doing this . its very cewls

pretty sweet. I like the dragon on top, cant wait to see it added with its skin.

uber red marks on those scales

I dont know if this has anything to do with you being in UV mapping hell, but the scales are going in two directions. try and get them going in one direction going down the tail/body.
