bitmap Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Could use a few more polygons, the edges looks quite sharp. i see what you did there. olol any who. Quote
Rick_D Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 ah, any reason for two maps? Why not just a single 1024x2048? Not trying to be picky, texture looks really nice and crisp, just I've noticed a lot of mods and custom content creators are using massive texture sizes "just for the fuck of it" Quote
bitmap Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 no idea why i used 2 maps. lol aslong as it works. Quote

Pericolos0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 uhh if its a viewmodel, theres no way you need that much texture space, your model will never take up that ammount of pixels on your screen. Not even in the most nextgenerationestest of games! A waste of memory is still a waste of memory eventhough there is more available now. Looks good tho Quote

Looks good tho As models get more detailed - more texture space is used. Whether it takes up more space on the screen is pretty irrelevant - more separate geometry = more UV space needed. Not to mention a 1024 map spread across a view model model is still very blurry. Quote
Pericolos0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 im 100% right damnit, dont use more than you really need! us half of that texture space and you have another 1024 free that can be used on a character or something! Quote

The parts that are further away have less pixel density, they use 1024*1024 maps and have details to the pixel even on the highest resolutions. More seperate geometry doesnt mean much more needed UV space at all. Quote
