3d models development

[Mr_Gazo]

The point is that in Max polygon not always = triangle. You could easily build a 8-triangled polygon, and default polygon counter will show you 1, still it will contain 8 tris, thats why I always switch on Tris counter

now at last on forum have one more man who understands the difference of the polys and between tris   

The main reason i was using several textures was that i'm still in a learning process about UVW mapping.

maybe I later will set up a tutorial as UVW mapping.

Well, I'm not the last instance who have to choose the best model   I always store all versions of the same model, so it would be possible to switch between models when they will be implemented in the game. So, the players will choose which one they like more, after all.

btw, I've been thinking of a setting up of the test server with one or two maps, just to test new 3D features. Not now, I'd rather do it in the early summer.

Nice model, but it needs a few tweaks:
1.All objects should be attached (so it should be a single object, not 8 like it's now)
2. Make a single texture (128x128 px), not 3 of them.

Polycount could be easily reduced by applying "Optimize" modifier (if you're using 3d max), but I can do it by myself, just fix what I've said before.

Alright, according to MrGazo's UVW-preset i made a single texture file and unwrapped it to the model. Attaching was done by him too already (i was using his max file to continue) as it seems. Also i tried the optimization tool but for some reason it didn't work properly. So it would be nice Graf, if you could do this, this time. Beside the fact, that i will have to watch the polys/tris count more carefully when creating a model next time, i'll look for some tutorials about this function too to get a bit more familiar with it.  Thanks for the tips/help again .

138 triangles for the strange iguana stick. Still too many?

It's just a little over the limit. Try to reduce it to ~100 and it would be good.

EDIT: Please export it correctly next time.

Aight I'll try
Edit: Here we go, 102 triangles
Edit2: Now fully textured

Hmm.. not much I can do to change export issues.
I press a button and a .3ds file appears.
Although I can try to export to some other format that people can use.
Looks like the UV isn't properly exported to 3ds

Redownload the zip files. Now they should be ok.
Not totally sure why it doesn't export properly but I changed the material texture name to match the texture file name. Now the viewer loads them properly.

this is what i call smart modeling, the bound of tomatoes and onions is the ideea of a genius!

Well.. Thanks!

A tad too high poly count (121) but the model is so complex that I doubt i'll be able to carve out anything without trashing the looks
Edit: Had an epiphany and reduced polys to 107

t-t-triple post!!!
but since your models are so good we can pass it with the sight
keep up the good work

also: use modify next time

how do you whant to check the screen if your hand blocks it

How want you to hold it (it's quite heavy) not by the center of mass. It will screw out your hand.
