Competition #10 - Pacer

[Pankake]

Matter of preference.

I've said this about another piece - It could get lost in the world as a prop in it's current form, any ideas to make this stand out from the mess of the battlefield? .

I´m also thinking that it´s just a matter of preference and of your own workflow.

Good point. I´ll try to think of something... probably some kind of glowing marker hovering above the ammo or something like that.

Did some work on the lowpoly mesh. It´s still a WIP an there´s plenty of stuff to optimize.
anyways here´s my progress:

1038 tri´s at the moment

[Pacer]

started from scratch with my lowpoly model and decide to go with intersecting meshes.
i´m not sure if it´s the right way to go since i´m quite new to all that lowpoly stuff. so let me know if i´m heading the wrong way.
so here´s my new lowpoly model:

1156 tris

Right now the whole thing doesn´t quite look like i wanted it to look.
had some problems with the normalmap and the duct tap texture...
anyways here´s my progress so far:

the ducktape looks realy thick on that last render, and it doesn't on the one before. maybe that could solve one part of the problem.

I'dd also make a specular map. Looked on google for a sec, found this:
Helson Gun Smiths
They all look very shiny, so try to get that in your mags to.

I hope this helps...
