Very Nice, Schlumpfsack!

I miss the tiny version so we can see it “from a distance” like you had in a previous version.

as you wish

Anyone in need for a car? I modeled this one the other day but have no personal use for it. I guess I could just finished it up (texture) and put it on the Asset Store

[abaky]

What program did you use to model the car?

Very nice topology btw

[impheris]

its a good car for a simple car game

[Goolygot]

Trying to make pixelart for the first time and I made grass and several pieces of a fence.

[xxxDjdogxxx]

Wow! that is amazing! I have been trying everyday to do a car but it keeps turning out meh, haha i also noticed you live less than an hour away from me.

@Schlumpfsack

calling the test finished. Still no good normals, no good specular. one texture 1024 x1024 for interior and one for exterior.

Nice one. I really like that design.

Number 1 rule of modelling is to avoid triangles!

What? This is entirely incorrect.

[Adam-Buckner_1]

I’d fix it up and put it on the asset store - either free or fee, but the asset store is a good way to distribute it.

Sweet ride.

Yay!

Soo cool.

Number 1 rule of modelling is to avoid triangles! And yeah, the head shape doesn’t seem right.

a few ngons or triangles her and there in a mesh isn’t a problem for any modern engine (like Unity). But keep it as less as possible on a mesh.

The main consideration from the hardware’s point of view is whether the data that makes up the asset is continues or fragmented. Breaks in Normals, UV’s Vertex colors ect, can all contribute to extra data being created or stopping the flow of the hardware. The same goes for thrashing texture caches by creating data or shaders that sample all over the place rather than in a flowing manner. Working in quads can be helpful to maintain the orientation of the hidden edges. If it is consistent, in theory this will help with Tri-stripping flow and avoid the generation of degenerate vertices. In my experience though, Tri stripping algorithms have a mind of their own and will cross over a well made mesh making a mess of things anyhow.

If the mesh construction is continuous, clean in terms of edge orientation to avoid lighting issues or jagged shapes and has good visible flows for deformation, you’re not doing too badly. Everything else just comes down to personal aesthetic preference and budget constraints.

@Schlumpfsack

ehm…no!!!
Number 1 rule is to avoid n-gons. triangles doesn’t matter, they are even needed if you want a good deformation on organic models. Remember your mesh will be triangled anyways in any engine you use!

But they can be quite useful if you …or DX11 powered unity will subdiv your model http://lightwiki.net/mediawiki/images/2/2b/Ngons1.gif

Number 1 rule of organic modelling is DON’T TALK ABOUT ORGANIC MODELLING !

[Farfarer]

It’s always a good idea to avoid ngons where you can. Break 'em down into quads and tris when you’re done with that part of the mesh.

Otherwise they can cause a world of pain when editing the model and especially passing the objects from one 3D app to another. It’s just generally “cleaner” and good form.

On high poly meshes, sod it. If it works, then it’s no problem (this is not the case for base meshes used in sculpting, though - keep them as quads).

It really looks like a future town in the game borderland that was missing… Really cool…

Too bad I need much cleaner style - if not I would ask you to do some housing for me…

[Thunderent]

Just a quick model…haven’t modelled anything in a while

Very nice work, your texture work is amazing

[galent]

@Christiaan

Agreed!

[dogzerx2]

Just a personal thingy that I’m doing… not sure if it lead anywhere!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11214337/HoverBikes/WebPlayer.html

Body: 406 tris.
Engine: 398 tris.
Wings: 348 tris (x2)

(I’ll take care of the handles and details later)

[Rush-Rage-Games]

@dogzerx Very cool, I like it!
