[rdmlegend]

[CammieDee666]

its more like a beetle than a mini

[Pankake]

Aye, the model is of a beetle .

[ploon]

ok excuse me for a stupid question but whats the limit for the texture res?
I must be daft, I cant see mention of it anywhere...512? 256?

I didn't even know there were a car called "mini"

I thought more of it as a mini-monster truck.. Cause aye, it's a beetle indeed. My mistake!

Perhaps I should rename it to beetle monster then


As for texture limitation, there ain't one.. But I'd go for a 256 really.

Cheers!

Hi, this is my first post here.. I need to improve in texturing and I thought that was a funny way.
I was wrong... well... it's funny but it's also very difficult. O_O

Also I don't have any idea how to paint the windows without a reflective map. :-\

Detail:
Wheel and light are taken from CGTexture and google... the rest is AO and hand-paintng, but I'm very slow and the time run up to fast I don't have time to add detail and stencil.

About 90 min

Here my 256x256 diffusive map.


by the way, this is a '69 Beetles (like the one in the Walt Disney film) with the mini cooper color.

edit: argh.. I read too late that the res was only 256... I post it again. Now it look like a 3d game model for a mobile...

Why 256 Tiros? Isn't that quite small for an 800x600 render size? Are you just keeping in mind game texture limitations in general?
