nice easy and clean poly flow. would love to see this in highpoly :D

[oxydo]

I dont anderstand what you get with " unwrap" if you can tell me ?

[lookdown11]

perhaps he means to create uv maps for the severel parst because such a car does mor need a paintad texture because of the rust and holes and dirt and bumps tha a real car paint mat. and to be able to texure it precisly, he need uv maps ;)

[dukesy]

exactly right!

@ lookdown11
it was going to be high poly but i thought i could capture the feel of mad max better by doing a low poly one, if u know what i mean?

just a question if any one knows?

how many maps should i have for this car? i was thinking....

1 for the exterior
1 for the interior
1 for all the junk and stuff / accessories
?

[lookdown11]

iff its for offline rendering u can use as many u want. with game models i don´t have experiance. sry.

i don´t really think that the mad max look, depends on low or high poly ;)

Very nice and clean modelling for a low poly car. Keep it up the same it looks very great so far.

[Tuss4]

mel gibson at his craziest! dude after this i suggest you make a highpoly version, that would be sweet.

[dukesy]

man! looks like everyone wants this made in high poly!

i'll make a deal, once i finish this one i'll make it in high poly, or cg-cars can ban me! lol :)

thanks for all the comments guys, i'll start unwraping and textureing today!

thanks guys! this forum is great!

[petter]

awsome man looking good. I love the mad max movies. nice unwraps. keep it up man:buttrock:

[petter]

good,good...really nice but
man, don't open a new thread for each update...
all of this can be placed in the same thread

[dukesy]

ok, just point me to the other thread and i'll get it deleted

[TheNeverman]

lookin' good... progress?

[Herminator]

it would be nice to see some progress shots here, the modelling is nice.

Those texture sizes you mentioned seem a bit high though (very high if it were to be for a real game)
512x512 for the exterior (including wheels) would be used for many games, sometimes 512x256 (helped by the fact that a car can be mirrored easily down the middle in most cases ;) )

wow love mad max too!
