tmp_lodge broken wall progression

tbh you cannot see all the indents and rubble stuff on the model when its skinned. You should try render to texture if you ask me

But then the rest of the skin might be messed up so that it doesn't fit the normal world brushes.

Polycount?

are you sure there is an armature in a stone bricks wall ?

nice model and texture btw

Dang, nice catch. Yeah, maybe remove the rebar

Very nice!

Can't help but think that the freedom of the level designer is taken away when you have to model stuff like breaks in walls though

you dont have to

*note* about the bar thing. most players wont even stop to look at something like this as they run through my map. The only people i see that would actually stop and critisize the map would be mappers like us.

Most of the community is or atleast has been a mapper. And even though the gameplay is still the breakpoint on a map if its good or not, the whole detail is like sprinkles ontop

It all adds to the flavour

you really dont need that many polys for detailing an object like that....you dont even see all the indents... dont think a normal map will help here either... If i were you i'd reduce the polys and make better use of the texture to emphasize the cracked areas.

not being too nit picky with it, I think you did a rather nice job since I know you personally and that's like a first.

Optimization is good, anyone can improve on anything

I think the problems are

A. the bricks making the wall need to be scaled down dramatically.

B. The cracks and stuff don't show because the texture is just the regular brick going over them, try creating a more...debris texture over the broken part of the wall. It's a little hard to explain.
