First UV and texture. Crits?

#1 Looks like it came out quite well--does it survive the export process/import into TGE?

#2 Here it is torque, still with the major texture bluring in GL :(

#3 From what I understand, that's the forced mip-mapping. Been trying to remember how to adjust/turn it off completely myself.

#4 If you remember, I 'd love to know :) I can never get TGE to run under DirectX properly else I'd probably try DX mode.

#5 I love the UV.

#6 Nice work fruitbat. :)

#7 Thanks Guys, any ideas what to do next?

#8 I love the uvmap and the Texture, how did you learn
to create those textures is PSP8 ?

#9 Only ever used PSP, never got into photoshop or GIMP. I just learnt because of the way I work, I like to get the most from whatever I try to do. I'm dreading doing more complicated meshes, I've done loads of DIF textures and they're all flat. It will be interesting to see how I do on a more complicated object!

#10 Good use of space on the UV map, not much wasted there.
Texture is also strong

good work.... now test yourself and try something a little more complicated!

#11 Anyone got any ideas on a few objects to make next?

#12 Weapons are always good :)

#13 @Fruit: FYI, I sent an email to your public email address (in your profile), if you don't happen to check that often.

#14 Bit different this one, this is a small DTS building.

#15 Man I just love those textures, I thought PSP8 can't
really handle textures.

#16 PSP can handle just about anything that Photoshop can.

They're just paint programs, and they both have a lot of power.

@FruitBat
It looks excellent!

#17 Here is version 2 with a bit more modelling and a much higher res UV.

#18 The UV mapping raises an interesting question. How much do you trade off indivuality of detailing against the res of output. With version 2 I cannot put drips under the window because the same area is used for the back. With version 1 I could add all sorts of details.

#19 @Bat: it is always a balancing act between detail and reusability. Just remember that a 1024x1024 texture takes up 4 times the texture memory of a 512x512, and 16 times the space of a 256x256.

Very nice use of photo source textures.

#20 @George
I thought so too but I have never saw any artist that use PSP
for complex textures (humans, creatures ect) I just saw artist that use PS
maybe it's the filters or maybe the community I don't know but I do know
that there aren't many people that use PSP for textures and not many tutorials
on textures (only some seamless textures here and there).
