Heya guys.

This is my take on the crate. It's supposed to be a crate from the not-too-distant future. Which has just been sitting in the back of a warehouse for a few years.

It's 140 tris and is using a 512x512 diffuse and normal map. I'm not too great at texturing, so this was a good excuse to finally do something about it. The brown/red'ish patches are supposed to be rust... It's my first try at it, so if anybody has any tips on how to pull it off better that'd be great.

Looking forward to your input, cheers.

First you need a Specular Map too. It is metal, and even though it is old and rusted it still needs to reflect a little light. As for the diffuse... I don't know... maybe give it a little more contrast.

Thanks for the feedback! I've done as you suggested, as well as some other skin edits (for the better I hope). Though I'm rather unfamiliar with specular maps, so please let me know if I've done it all wrong - cheers. :P

Here's what I have now:

(Please excuse the large render, just off to bed and don't really have time to resize right now)

If you want to see my maps and shaded/wired renders go here (excuse the watermarks, I've always been a tad over-cautious :P)

Also, tricount was a mistake on my behalf, it's actually only 140 - edited the first post with that now.
