04 Oct 2005Hooray! Now edit your post and add an image of the model you're going to texture so newcomers know what model you'll be working on

04 Oct 2005hey ben it looks like ur not sure of the direction you want to head in ..your just trying a few things ...its important to visualise the end product before setting out to texture even if u do not fully acomplish it.
heres a site i found that really helps as far as metla texturing is concerned . its a great source of inspiration http://www.secondreality.ch/ -

05 Oct 2005Hey man, one thing you might want to think about is this:
Instead of just adding "texture" for the sake of adding textures....try to come up with reasons for the textures. Ie....if he's green...why is that? Is it paint? Is it the hue of the metal he's made of? Is it some foreign substance/material? Is the paint chipping? Does he have battle scars/scratches?
Etc etc....right now your textures are really unfocused and don't seem to have a rhyme or reason....they're just "there".....so try to give them all a reason and a story
That being said...the "metallic" shader you have on them at the moment does have a nice sheen to it -
05 Oct 2005Also...for a character like yours, simple is probably better too

07 Oct 2005hey ben i think you need to learn a fair bit about optimising your poly count is
161202 i can barely navigate the modifier stacks . you have a LOT of unecessary iterations and divisions also you dont use the mesh smooth modifier at all so the smoothing cant be set to rendered iterations .
ive also noticed that you dont use extrusions (edit poly modifier) you just used primitives with ffd or bend modifiers . i think you should pickup a good tutorial on polygon modeling and practise that a bit u obviously know u way around the app you just arent going at it right way. -
