A car (yeah, how original!)

on: December 11, 2008, 09:43:26 pm
Getting a bit again into 3d stuff recently.

Made in blender, 312 triangles. A bit of an hassle to avoiding these damn distorted textures.




Not really an optimized texturlayout, maybe editing that later

Very nice. Not too hot on the colour tho, it looks very DDR :D
you could save some tris on the wheels.

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Wheels could also deal with 8 divisions instead of 12. I like your texturing on this =)

update




@ptoing
haha, well now that you mention it  ;)
Good point on the wheels.

@TrevoriuS
The wheels have now 10 divisions, think thats a good compromise.

well I think it looks great. even with the reflections painted on, I think the texture looks so solid and consisten that you sort of forget about it and just see it as a whole.

well done. probably try more colors of the paintjob, and maybe some stripes or something? :)
Image size doesn't matter! It's what you do with your pixels that counts!

I really like this. Maybe you could try going for extreme UV optimizing. Like 1/3 of the top texture could be mirrored for the other side, the wheels would work with just half a wheel texture and the wheel treads would do just with a really small texture for a single wheel division.

Oh and i think you need some big exhaust pipes for the rear or the sides  ;D

very spiffy sir, very spiffy indeed.
i'm sort of missing mirrors though, i think if you optimize the side a bit you could make the mirrors and not add to the polycount,
you could also take a few polies off of the tires as previously mentioned.

and a note on the texturing.. the dithering and dither-aa doesnt work well in a 3d environment, it gets messy really fast
it might be nice to study http://www.kennethfejer.com/lowpoly.html stuff a bit to see how he does texturing

with proper mirroring etc you could compress your texture into a 128x128

the blue texture looks great!

made an edit to pack the uvs closer together, resized for 256x128 which saves on memory.
