First off, I complete missed Fridays post since I was out late Friday night and was too tired when I got in to make the post. With that said, I would have little to post today if I had made that post since I did not get much done with the game. To the left is the current state of my armored train model, a total of 3345 faces. Creating the UV layouts is about half done, though the turrets may require quite a bit of work compared to the rest of the model and they are not done yet. Once the UV layout is complete, I can start texturing which will make the image look a lot more interesting. Not sure how much work I am going to be able to get done on this over the week, but I am hoping to get most of the UV layout finished. Accompanying this model I am probably going to need three pieces of track, but those should go together quickly once this model is pretty much done - only one piece per section. I have been contemplating the best way to get the gravel effect and I am hoping that a bump map will work since I do not want to budget that many faces for a detail likely overlooked.
On another note, I have a dozen or so 3D tutorials that I am looking to do in varying degrees of completion - some are just modeling while others go all the way to texturing. Most are high-polygon count, which will be a nice change from what I have been doing. When I get around to these projects, I will be sure to post images. Also slightly unrelated, I am working on getting a Gallery section to show how far varying pieces of 3D art have come. While that is not a priority, I would like to get that working in the near future. Until next Friday, hopefully,
