thanks guys,I usualy use brushes based around industrial type shapes so the sparth look probably comes from that.
here's an industrial air conditioner I made today,I've been wanting to make some more of these for various projects,the clean & bold color look is inspired by Mirrors Edge which looks pretty sweet!
I modeled the hi-res mostly with floaters & baked out a normal map from that in max..colored it up in Photoshop & then made another normal based on a height map made from the color map,mostly for edge scratches & stickers,then blended them both in crazybump
polycount is 160 tris,I was aiming for 300 but ran out of things to add :\
512X maps
