and from behind it

You might be able to free up some polys by not making some things merged together. For example, here's a link to a game character I did for my book. His shoulder pads, leather bands, etc are not merged with the body's geometry:

Looking forward to seeing it textured!

But don't forget, lighting is the big focus of this challenge.

Keep it up!

thx mike,
oooo didnt know you could do that, your book looks great carnt wait till december for it.

small bits of extra detail on texture on leg armor (probably will redo this as it sucks)

looking very nice, not to sure I can help you with that seam as I have not done much uv mapping in Lightwave, hope you have time to do the rest of your scene.

Looking good sharp, good luck with the comp

mtmckinley · 20-10-2004, 01:31 PM

Could that seam possibly just be the red in the texture? Although you seem to be able to see it untextured to.

I'm not very familiar with LW, but I would imagine it has Normals, right? Perhaps half of the geometry's normals are reversed?

Zeeman · 20-10-2004, 07:25 PM

Looking good so far Sharp!!! That seam is not really visible from far away... Maybe u could try welding some stuff together or something???

Sharp · 22-10-2004, 08:38 AM

i think it was aproblem with the texture now i have different textures and its not there

Sharp · 28-11-2004, 05:34 PM

another failure

im gona stop doing this now as when i get to texturing i jus get bored outa my head using the mouse.

so as soon as i stop paying for maya im gona get a tablet an learn maya hopefully it will b much more fun then with a mouse.
