Looking great, I also prefer the one with the tire, it gives it character. I think the more ingenious usage of car parts the better.

The only thing that I would say is that it seems like the battery would eventually slide and fall off with one strap on it rendering it powerless. So I would add more straps and maybe have a clamp/trim below and above it so 'sits' in place securely.

Or perhaps position it at the bottom with the pole sticking into it, which will also spread the weight more evenly and balance it out better.

I'm getting back to this again, and after much torment I finally know how to bake clean hard surface normal maps! This had tons of sharp angles and was really tough for me.

I added weights, clamps for the blades, AO, and a newly sculpted duct tape handle,

Low poly with ao and normal map: 2048x2048 9,537 Tris







Do my uvs look good? enough padding? Please Crit.

The idea is sweet. I would love to be in your brain when you thought of this.

Thing looks dang heavy though!

I can't comment on the UV's though. Haven't gotten to that level yet. Sorry.

I think this is a really impressive low poly and bake job!

Plugged.
Cheerio.

Thanks for the spotlight kanga, didn't expect that

from scratch diffuse texture, 80 layers in photoshop. Is there anything you suggest to add or change before I move to specular? I really want to push it.

[NautalusX]

These maybe the finals but im still open to suggestions on anything at all.
