this is off topic, but i wonder what resolution that gun is, because it looks like something low with tons of detail still packed in somehow.

yes..

Sabcrea - Yeah Ive always liked that game, I want the graphics to be better than that game and it will be in third person with an over the shoulder aiming mode instead of a FPS.

Blade - interesting link, I'll be concentrating more on asset creation at this time before thinking about publishers.

Cheers, Ryan.

ps. Id say that gun is about 400 - 600 polys

Cool, although the link was to apply for an engine license made by sony , not for a publishing deal(although they probably would offer one aswell)

i have some b5 ship meshs from a botf mod i made, they are low poly though if you need any i`ll mail em over to ya

"ps. Id say that gun is about 400 - 600 polys"
I was talking about the texture resolution, but do you really think the gun has that many? I'd guess maybe a couple hundred.

jigalypuff - Id aprreciate that alot, you could send them to ryangregory@hotmail.co.uk. They should come in handy, I'll probly be modifying them alot though, is that ok? and would you want credits etc.?

lostclimate- oh I didnt realise, well id say its about 128 - 256 texture size. It could have less polys maybe more, who knows

Cheers, Ryan.

Ok, heres the next one, a male EA officer. Again I will be using different heads and hairstyles to create lots of characters, this has no hair at the moment.



Cheers, Ryan.

While those two models already look very nice there is some room for improvement of the texture:

With that said the blue cloth doesn't look look like blue cloth but a bit like some sort of very tight latex. You especially see that on the back where you overdid things a bit by trying to shade those folds - might not look so bad with some decent lighting but still it's a bit too much exaggerated. So maybe reduce the contrast for that shading and add a bit more of a material "noise" for cloth as it looks a bit too uniform. Just the same you did for those very nicely done brown leather parts...

Next part is about the UV-Map / the texture. You sort of can see how you put the polies around on a small part of the model and that's where that EA logo and rank-badge thingie on the chest is. Because of the way you set up the UV-map you have this distortion there as there most certainly is a seam right through that badge and together with a "distortion" you didn't fix in the UV-map the texture you probably created the way the things look like get applied "wrong"...

I'd also invest some polies and make the communicator a real mesh and not just texture detail. As rather important thing you might even put quite some attention on whenever someone talks to it this should get more detail and it's not a very costly addition...

At the end another more technical question. Did you create the model with some speaking abilities i.e. you can do real talking animations by basically moving the lip meshes around and having some "mouth geometry" behind?

I want to add some comments on the people, i think you could spare a few polys on them as they are fairly low poly. thats all my comments ,lolz
