Hi there laughing_bun, haven't seen you in a while. If i'm not mistaking then you also worked on TCMP and TR right? Nice to see you here m8.

Looking forward to see your stuff.

[laughing_bun]

yup it is I the mighty laughing bun, good to see you too.

ok heres the first update its a health chip. It basically bobs in the air. modelling is basically done, but the texture is where it comes alive!

I like the fact that it looks like a token or coin, a positive move in giving the sense that it's an asset. Very symbolic too, keep it up

Looks sweet. Maybe you could have a smaller cross that rotates in the middle, where the opening is? Something to make it even more visually interesting.

[laughing_bun]

ok im almost done, Right now it is a bit grungy for my tastes. And i need to fix the light beams.
sorry for the crappy picture

[doylle]

Looks better with the "+ sign" in the center. I like that. There's something weird with your texture though, looks a little flat on the render. Do you have a set of tris covering the front? They realy mess up your piece imo, i'dd try to fix them if I were you.

[laughing_bun]

I have a glass shell covering it. I think when i get the spec/alpha right it would look cool...But perhaps i should use the extra polys im saving on a better light effect.
