Speed Modeling Competition 2: Steampunk Blunderbuss

[Michael_K_Schmidt]

I decided to get some better screenshots. Since this image is located on my own server, I hope you don't mind it being so big. I did make a high poly version and bake it down, however, the normal maps I used are simply a converted heightmap. Unreal Editor did not like the normal map from Blender. Here's an example...


It seems to highlight certain parts of the model in the wrong direction. I'm sure it's something I did wrong...

I have only a hint,when you unwrap if you have similar pieces (like all thos small piecec with a 8 shape or the blades) some times is better to overlap them in the unwrap,less work when texturing

AHA! So I can do that! Great, thanks ALOT for letting me know, I could probabily saved alot of UV space that way.

I think it was red channel you had to flip in order to get Unreal3 normal maps.

Here is my submission, thanks for the extra time to finish the UVs.

I don't know if i'm in time or not, spent and hour rushing the UVs, busy today...

poly count 5952

cheers!

updated UV, utilises UV space better.

some interesting work posted so far, UV looks good, might be able to use some more space on the bottom for the body of the gun.

Right, that's it for now. Voting page will go up in a little bit

Nekronom, you need to either apply an edit mesh modifier to your weapon or change the Statistics visible. At the moment it's showing polys, we need to see the triangle count One poly can be any number of triangles so the poly count can be a bit misleading.
