Speed Modeling Competition 2: 004 - Beach Vendor

[dermaeher88]

Since the deadline was extended I decided to put something together. Here's some screen grabs of the low poly. It sits at just over 6,400 Tris (I was going to try to use the extra 600 but I'm a bit busy this weekend). I have a high poly as well and just finished unwrapping so I should be able to get the baking done tomorrow

Rectanglular uvs are a lot trickier to get nice looking and are usually used when you want to swap stuff around. Like swapping a trouser texture for something else for example when you upgrade your armor in a game. It can also make texture painting a bit easier but I say go with what you feel like. You don't have to worry about which is correct until someone pays you to do it

Hey, this is my final submission...good luck everyone!

I know it's late, time differences suck. Also, I didn't do a normal map as it would mostly come from textures. There was more I wanted to add, but the poly limit didn't allow for it. Cool if it isn't accepted, but it was a fun attempt.
