Quote from Rick_DI'd consider modelling the insides, why not, not too many polies and it'd be a nice touch of detail.
i think that'd be way over the top and too wasteful. It's a vent. How often are you gonn get so close to a vent that you would notice whether or not the inside is fully 3D? I'd just model it like a box and do the rest with textures.
i saw one of those red birds in the tree outside my livingroom window 2 weeks ago... they look awesome....all red and glowy and stuff 
*pets birdy~~*
Camtasia FTW!
If you do that again at least make sure its a worksafe image and doesn't fuck up the entire forum, or we will take YOUR soul.
GO, FERRET! 
i guess he means the height (greyscale) map that is used to convert the image into a normalmap..
btw peris remove that sig...
orly?It's still a WIP for crying out loud... it's not supposed to be a damn Picasso.
What kind of feedback do you expect when posting an early shot like this? It's a WIP forum, the whole point of this forum is that when you post something people can give crits.
Quote from MazyLooks good Oski, maybe making it a tinniewinnie bit brighter would be nice. Seems just tiny notch too dark imo, but thats the aim I assume
Keep in mind the picture is against a bright background.... If you try setting it to full-screen or against a black background it looks great. So it's probably fine in game.
That is reallly great looking Oski. More pics !
like with anything it's just a matter of practice and actually sitting down and doing it.... its the only way you will get fluent with the different ways of approaching certain situations and solving them.
Quote from ZackerInteresting, at SoW it is almost only the modellers who do the unwrapping. I kinda expected that to be natural as unwrapping is done in a modelling program which our skinners don't dare to touch. Thanks for the advice, I will have a talk with skinners about if they maybe should check it out.
It can be boring yeah. But its part of the job. And in most if not all professional environments it is the texture artist who does the unwrapping job. After all, he's the one who is going to have to texture the object. So he should decide which parts should take up how much space in the UV, or which parts he wants to stitch together for better blending etc... Yeah you work in a modeling program, but that's how it works. Talk to your artists 
It will help them in the long run.
Well as texture artist you should create your own Unwrap so you can create it to suit your exact needs. A modeler shouldn't have to do this... I used to have modelers do my UVs too but that was because I was too lazy to learn uvw mapping...now that I do it everyday I can do whatever I want and don't have to rely and wait on the modeler to do changes to my Unwrap anymore.
It's really not that hard.
Quote from ZackerAnd yes 512^2 could be "enough", but that is not enough for us:)
Well, essentially that is what you are using RIGHT NOW. If you deleted all the duplicated parts and rotated the other pieces so they are right underneath you would probably end up with a 512 and NO or VERY LITTLE loss of detail. Right now you are using a 1024x1024 but you don't benefit from it at all because 80% of it is wasted space. It's like you made it high-res for the sake of....making it high-res.
Looks promising !
Wasteful. Why did you create the same leaf texture 4 times??? Make it once and then have the other leaves in the mesh use the same part of the UV. When you do that I'd also suggest tiling the bark texture horizontally instead of vertically ... This way you can save tons of space in the texture....
The current image size is 800x800. Make sure you use powers of 2. a 512 for a palm tree should be enough.
keep it constructive people.....
