[Free Download]Cannon

Hmm i dont know why your guys think thats my first model.
If your look 2 pages back you can see more of my models.
The model was only for training my skills, okay its not my best model but you dont must download it!
I only want to share it because i dont want to delet it from my space and would give your guys a little present.

Sorry for my bad english,
i only have english at school(so its very bad).
Have a nice day,
Ralph

Looks like a cannon for a ship - which means there would be a lot of other details around. It seems like you could do it with fewer polygons - like don't worry so much about round wheels, and a round cannon barrel (since there might be a dozen cannons on a deck).

You can fake the look of roundness with textures. I did a 19th century field cannon in my set (see link in my signature -- field cannon), and the cannon is actually really blocky, but I used a detailed texture (still only 256x256).

Anyway, that's my two cents - any my shameless self-promotion of my models for sale.

woah 15 bucks.
but, can you please tell me if advertising/selling models on turbosquid is worth it? does someone buy models there? it seems to be such a big database, the chance that you are piced is rather low, or? would you recommend this way of distribution?

PS: happy b-day!

I woulden't sell anything in big style on Turbosqid...they take 50% But It is a good possibility to promote your products by selling either just a few products of your whole product-range, or offering some free sample downloads. I did that to promote my plants in the begining...but now sales work much better from my site or from Gamebeep (Bret the Gamebeep guy is cool and takes only 20-25%).

Sorry...back on topic: The marine cannon looks pretty good but has indeed a rather high polycount for it's shape...reduce it a bit, make a whole marine arsenal, create a website and offer your content for free or sell it for a reasonable price

Turbosquid is fine, and it's so popular that you're bound to be seen (of course most of what really sells well on there is really high-end stuff). So far I've sold three models, and one set, in a week? -- and I'd say my prices are pretty low... like my polygon counts.

But... that really isn't on topic.

I agree and to be honest, at Turbosquid tend to come a lot of folks only out for some money, not for delivering quality models. The vast majority of models is either incomplete, not skinned or animated or total crap. It's no wonder the better quality models tend to ask a big amount of money for it, and yes it's huge. They should sort by quality in one way or another, perhaps filtering all models for crappy ones would be the way to go, it should downsize the huge amount of models too. Turbosquid doesn't sound like a real fair deal if they take 50% too btw,

Cheers
