ATOT No chairs 1 (smoothing on)



ATOT No chairs 2




ATOT No chairs 3

ATOT 2 (smoothing)



ATOT 3

you should add some hard edges to it cause its a mech and only small parts of it are gonna be smooth while its mostly rigid paneling.

I don't want to do anything to mess it up yet so i'm waiting to get milkshape and then i'll take your advice, thanx

looks uber.

uber as in cool?

yep. Looks VERY good.

thanx

oh nice, looks pretty cool man keep up the good work!.

I added the legs now so here's an update!

WOW... very cool.

thanx teancum
Edit: just finished the weapons, can someone texture this?

hmm

if you ask me, the legs seems to be Uber Quality... O.o

You hardly notice if circles are squared in-game I'd bet you could get it at LEAST 100 poly's down per leg

thanks, yeah usually legs are the big poly count for these kind of things but hey the total poly count is pretty low i think, around 7000 polys. runs fine on my 3d engine so should be fine.

yeah but if the verts are too clustered together theyll get welded like asajj's face did, you should knock teh polies down to 3000 at the very most and any model shouldnt be any higher than that. it really doesnt matter what your PC can handle its all about what the game can handle, and you dont want a crappy map where effects start to not work and it lagging cause you made a model thats over twice the reccomended limit.

alright i'll work on that!

very nice! Is this going to be a new vehicle?

no... no its not... >_>

Off-topic : drummer', you seem not to use an Avid / Softimage product, and so, would you mind giving me the name of the 3D-modelling software you're actually using to create this "AT-OT" project ?

Thanks in advance !...

Whilst theres no real limit to polys I believe you should lower the number of faces on each cylinder.


Once textured, cylinders look more rounded than they do untextured. Have a look at the ATTE's legs and copy them as far as the number of polys.

You could use the attes textures aswell .

As far as how many polys you should make it , its just common sence. If your model looks good at 4k polys but looks bad at 3k you should go for 4k or just under.


Looks good BTW

well if you get it all textured and everything ill try and animate it and get it in game since i havnt got the chance to make animaitons for a walker in BF2 yet.
