Been a little while since I posted anything up. I am starting to get into the swing to doing things a lot faster as well. I modelled this yesterday and just finished the UV's there now and will start texturing later tonight with the plan to finish tomorrow.

I thought I would have a go at one of those wall switches you see beside doors like in Gears 2 etc. Let me know what you think so far.

Thanks

Nice UV layout,
Its looks solid, maybe add some more detail on the right of the actual button, it looks really empty, but its cool, keep it up!

Thanks.

I plan to add some notes, speaker etc on the right during the texturing.

I'm thinking the uvw map looks weird. I would spend more time on it. What did you use to do it?

Here's something I painted over it:

Thanks for taking the time to do a paint over Jimi, I will take onboard what you have said.

i can't tell much more, than the others said, on the new model.
but i can tell you, that you definatly need a new light setup inside of max, because on the pics you posted i can't see any normal or spec map, but i think it's just a matter of light, so put some lights in there, please

Thanks man. Yea I have lights in now and I am using a view port shader. I don’t like adding lights during the modeling as it can be annoying at times but I should add them before posting stuff here.

Just to update on the wall panel, I was very disappointed with the texturing didn't turn out too good. Made a good few models since then and I must post a few of the better ones up here. I am getting though a model or two a day at the moment. Just trying to do as many as possible to get loads of practice at modelling and Unwrapping and I texture the better ones.

Anyway I thought I would post a map I finished today. It’s based on the one from the UT3 Video tutorials and has more or less the same layout apart from a few of my own variations and I did a different style of deco. So I am looking for feedback on lighting etc, I think it’s a good bit better that my past lighting attempts.
