[Vehicle]Armored SUV Toyota B6 [WIP]

[Mineral]

Way to much dirt, but I guess you knew that Don't forget a 'high' poly interior model for the passengers/drivers with a higher res texture then the 3p.

geom0:
passengers and drivers geometry only, separate texture(preferably doesn't use 3p textures) (high quality stuff)
geom1:
3p geometry. Doesn't use the interior high res texture.
geom2:
wreck geometry: uses 3p textures.

I think the best example in PR is the technical for the model setup.

How many tris is the model atm?

Can we see the UVW layout?

YOur door handles will z-fight if you leave them like this, I would weld them into the doors, possibly model those depressions as well (you can get rid of them on LODs)

z-fight? What's that? I'll consider going back and fixing all this stuff. I already need to put a lower poly steering wheel + interior stuff, so I may as well repair the rest.

Here's the UV:


And the WIP textures:

The dirt will be faded down a bit
I'll keep LODs in mind. Looks like I'll have to redo much of the interior.

That's a lot of wasted space and hardly any stitching... Getting your UV right is really important to getting your model looking as good as possible as well as optimized as possible.

I would also recommend you UV your glass and any other transparent materials to their own sheet, will save on memory.

This would be perfect on a VIP Game mode.

But looks sick

I'll look into that as well then.

I'm not sure which parts of the UV 'll be able to stitch without getting further distortions on the texture, but I'll see what I can do.
I've found a few problems with my refs too, so I'm going back ~200 saves and fixing a bunch of stuff before UVing the model all over again...
I rushed a lot of areas and I think I should go back and take my time


Forgot to mention: the model is 3,844 tris. I converted it to a patch when I saved it as an obj so that 'polycount' is accurate.

do you have some ref pictures of the bumper ? it looks a lil bit strange

I did but I can't seem to find them now. You'll have to take my word for it I guess. I've found some new higher res reference pics that I'll be working off of that will look a bit different/

I've reached the point where I think it would actually be more efficient if I restart the model. It will probably take longer, but I'm still in the process of learning- i guess this is to be expected.
