looks like a great static gameplay and visual wise, I'll just pop these links in here as I think they will help you to show the model in a manner for our artwork team to crit.

and perhaps take a look at this as well.

Looks good so far, wont bother pointing out the obvious stuff.

What textures are you using and planning on using btw?

Nice Work Lemon

It reminds me to the tower at the main base in ArmA 2. GREAT WORK!!!

Thats what I used as the first reference! Good eyes.

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm following Rhinos tutorial the best I can. It's the first time I'm texturing with palettes so we'll se how it goes.

I'm using 'common_01_c.dds' for the base and I'm not sure yet about the others. I will take a look at some dirt layers etc. later today I think.

rgr I would advise to plan a little more ahead than just the colour layer hehe. Without looking at any refs I would suggest possibly some of these textures could do well:

\objects\staticobjects\pr\textures\ folder:
bigbunkerdirt.dds nice dirt texture you could use for your walls and stuff
conc_tile.dds / conc_tile_2.dds / conctile_big.dds are some pretty good concrete textures, although you have to use them on the colour layer and use a null detail, or the other way round.
truss2.dds /truss3.dds are both some good truss textures you could use, they have an alpha in them for the truss thou if you wanted the player to get close up to them (ie, trusses that had fallen down, twisted and bent) you could model the holes.

Other than that just general cracks and dirt out of the normal vbf2 pallets out of the common, military and ind folders. Just dont use any of the _asia or the _middle-east textures

[Lemon]

Very good advice! I'll be sure to check them out later today! I'm incredibly grateful for all the help!

Updated first post with wireframe pictures.

It is a good tut, but can you thumbnail the images, I can't open the page without crashing my browser

How do you know its a good tutorial if you aint read it

Ye sorry about that I didn't click when I started making that the tut would be so big, otherwise I would have done thumbnails.

May go back over it and give them thumbs but that's a huge amount of rework.

[H.sta]

I see

I managed to read once, not sure how... but it crashed before i could read the last part though

[Brainlaag]

looks nice mate.

Thanks Rhino! I'll be sure to check it out asap! I've been having real life work up to my ears so sadly there's not been to much room for modeling and texturing. The upcoming week should be better though! Updates will come!
