[CTRifle]

Hey guys, so here is it so far, still lots to go but coming along good I guess. If you have any pointers or opinions/comments on whatever please let me know as I want to make it as good as possible.

As for the headlight problem I noticed after, Ill be fixing that so no need to worry

your back right wheel mesh intersects with the mud stopper thingy, however its called(help?)

[CTRifle]

mud flap?? :S idk what its called but yea I see it thx

[CTRifle]

double post :O

little update


Made the part under the tarp in the back more detailed and fixed up the lights a bit. Does anyone see that black link above the left light... what causes that?

[Doc.Pock]

i guess its some unwelded verts or something. it happens when turbosmoothing(which youre not doing...) when geometry isnt connected right. not sure if its that in your case

That black spot is overlapping polygons, more exactly a polygon turned the wrong way. You are best off deleting the problematic area and rebuilding it with bridge tool.

I think you should do this in high poly though, as that will allow you to make the fabric top a lot better while keeping the ingame model quite low poly. Other parts, like wheels and headlights, will look much better with a normal map, too.

Can you explain this a little more? Im new too the whole high vs low poly, I know what they are but do choose between them and what gets what confuses me

[Doc.Pock]

You basicallyake a model that has load adl loads of polys (im talking millions) and then make a normalmap bake form it and then use it as a normalmap for the lowpoly gameready model. Ill get you some articles on ti later at home

[CTRifle]

Does the entire thing need to be that or certain parts?

Dont see why you would have to do whole model in High poly. But it will certainly look better, if you do

Model looks better now but I still see a lot of issues with front lights and windows.

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Looks 'dumpy' compared to original
Lights look too big and too in the middle
Wheels/tyres look too big
Windscreen looks too deep

From looking at pics the three axle is rare and always has the spare as this photo.

But I can't make anything so I still thinks it's impressive.

Hmm... with the front lights, Its the way it exports I think... how would I fix that. Also what about teh windows? There isnt any in that model..

[Ratface]

For me, I noticed that when i applies smothing groups to the areas with the fighting, it cleared it up when exporting. So for an example, select your front bumper, and find the smoothing groups section on the right side. Try doing auto-smooth when you have em selected and export it again. At least that's worked for me on my flak

[Doc.Pock]

wheels need a central vertex afaik to spin them right round baby right round
