looks pretty good!

I'm sure on the UV mapping, but I did mine after i tripled stuff.

I dont think i've got any crits for you!

Techi · 06-12-2004, 11:32 PM

hey guys..
wanna ask that can we use the 'pre-sets'(textures) in 3d software? (lightwave, not sure abt other software...)

oh,the character reference

thankss a lot,

doublerr · 11-12-2004, 08:33 PM

hey guys
here's an update

http://server2.uploadit.org/files/ltsenc-re.jpg
poly 1344 poly
It's an unfinish modelling and textures model(eg. the armor and details for all the textures)

is it ok that i got quite a lot of texture's map(with alpha channel)? coz' due to this is my first time texturing for game-low poly character(as well as character)

, currently i have 17 textures map....

comments and crits are welcome....
sorry again for my english
thanks ya...

Techi · 11-12-2004, 09:30 PM

textures, a game would not accept lightwave textures as it is programaticaly added within the lightwave environment.

id try putting the texture on a large flat polygon, render this in bmp / we format you wan to use, then uv this onto the area of choice.

its the way id do it but there has to be a better way, anyone?

i like the model, and its recognisable.

doublerr · 11-12-2004, 10:24 PM

thanks

so the numbers of texture map doesn't matter?
and ...it mean that games engine can accept alpha channel?
thanks again....
sorry for my dumbness :p

mtmckinley · 11-12-2004, 11:25 PM

right, no presets. Alpha transparancy is fine.

doublerr · 14-12-2004, 04:14 AM

okok,thanks,
any crits please?
thanks

Look good, try and paint some muscle defintion on her body and try reduce the grain.

mtmckinley · 14-12-2004, 01:34 PM

17 texture maps for a character is a bit too many. I'd recomend trying to condense that to 3.

Also, you're only about half-way through the minimum polycount. Lots more geometry could be added for details, definition, etc.

Keep it up!

bullet_evader · 14-12-2004, 02:25 PM

yeah i think mtmckinley ( is your real name Mike btw?? ) is right. especially the face could use some more detail!!

anyhow...looks great so far
