I've already unwrapped and imported many other statics than this, I could in fact import models before I could unwrap / model them well

I'm just showing off this one as its by far the most complicated model I'm going to be undertaking for some time hehe.

Looking very sweet Rhino

Just curious what sort of tri and poly count will this end up having? (ball park figure)
Also what is the max amount that is suitable for PR statics?

at the mo 4881 polys, aiming for under 6000.

max poly count really in the end comes down to what kinda model your making, thou there is a max that you are limited too, thou cant remember the figure off the top of my head.

Looking cool rhino. Should we be expecting hazard-warning yellow for its color?

good guess, providing I've got a good yellow colour in the stock pallets, otherwise I will have to make a new texture pallet which I dont plan on doing

I dunno how many of you are interested in the process of crating a static but for thous of you who are, this is a quick update of what I've done last night and a little this morning before I go back out to work of unwrapping this static to a vbf2 stock colour pallet, and the colour layer basically dose what it says on the tin, defines the colour of the object. Still got alot of work to do, all the bits that look like lots of funky colours, the wheels, the stairs, the cabin etc have not been touched yet, but the main beams etc that are yellow have

rest of the colour unwrapping, detail, bump, dirt and crack layers still to come if some of you are still wondering why it dont look at all detailed yet

rust comes with the dirt layer, thou these things really aint rusty, realistically my colour texture is really too dirty on its own to be realistic but I think it gives it a nice effect
