to start off this thread i made in a couple of days this fishing boat ( normally this kind fishes shrimp and other tinny stuff), its about 10k tris and i modeled it based on this ref









I already uv'ed part of it but i'm having serious problems with the normal mapping on the border rail's on the boats hull, dunno why but it's giving me black stripes and artifacts all over it, and i'm getting mad! Will post some pictures of it tomorow so you guys can help me out on this :X
