Guyyys, there's no point to discuss if suicide is justified or not, a death is always tragic.

Not many people cried when hitler shot himself, thats for sure! But yea, I get what you're saying...But if you ever have the urge.... go here!

/agreed (except all the spelling errors, you can keep those! )

Model is looking great, but you seem to have a few pixels left over on your uv... :]

Quote from killertomato

Is that the pilar?

sorry for being offtopic btw

Ah no, that pillar is from... Lost Coast?

Anyways, my pillar is twice as tall^^

Oh and, the pillar is actually for some stargate mod that just asked me if I could make one, I guess It'll be used in PVK2 too :]

Whoever wants to use it, I dont mind

you need a person in your plane

but since the almost the whole column only takes 50% of the texture, I had alot to work with... Or is it fine if the texture is 256x512?

Do you consider it enough texture waste to do it all over again?

I dont trust these screens!

Quote from Bic-B@ll

you could try moving the texture in 1 pixel from each edge and putting a 1 px tan border on it

Didn't try this, but I put one black pixel next to each edge, and they both showed up close to each other.

Quote from generalvivi

looks good man , but what bic said its a 1 pixle thing. you have to go out of your uv map by one pixel. btw nice texture did you make it yourself?

thanks man, it seems like the top most line of textures just wanted to get brigther for some weird reason... I tried making that particular line darker and it looked a little better... but meh.. Oh and, I got the original texture from Total Textures (dont remember which one, was under some egyptian thing)edit: It was Total Textures V9!. I modified it slightly though..

Quote from dissonance

yeah, instead of a black background, make all of it that tan color. if you just make it solid and no gradient, the filesize will stay the same.

I did that, thanks for the tip, it didnt have any impact, but it would've saved me for some trouble a few hours ago

Quote from killertomato

it looks good skjalg its nice to see you improve your skills

hah, thanks Too bad I progress really slowly!

I've been dabbling some more in 3dsmax and I have made my second skinned model. This time, though, I get some ugly edges...

Oh and, is this the proper way to unwrap a column like this? Any tips/comments appreciated :]

How do I make that appear? Or is it for Maya?

lol, lets start making all the guns and shit for dod:s really low poly!

looks like you made the stove a little higher than on the ref picture, oh and you lack the glossyness on the blue door. But overall its a perfect match when it comes to lighting! Neat job :]

Quote from Squirrelly

Don't use the clone tool so much! It also looks a bit blurry in some parts as well, but other than that, it looks pretty good!

I hoped those blurry parts would pass off as something rocky-ish But thanks

Quote from von*ferret

Quote from KoKo5oVaR

Ohh nice work skjalg, it may needs some contrast and a more pronouced thin shadow around the blocks imo.

thanks man! Oh and, I was hoping the normalmap would produce that shadow :]

I figured it out after a while, but thanks for the tips
