Rover WIP

This last week I have been doing a number of different things. Some of them are minor things, it was most a tweaking week in preparation for the normal baking which I will do this week. I have actually started the baking process, in the process of setting up my cages.

This week I added a few things to my highpoly model and I also tweaked the tank treads. Before the treads were all different sizes, some were stretched and other squashed. I went back and evened them out a bit more.

I also added a few things to my highpoly, which you can view.

The next thing I did was decide to create a destroyed version of the base mesh. I didn't intend on making this, but I just started for fun and I ended up with something, so I am posting it.

I started working on the baking earlier this week, but decided to take the time we had to make some modifications. Also, I've been baking all week with my own projects, so I wanted to split up the type of work being done.

The visuals:

    This looks really cool. I like how the chair and rails are displaced. Nooks all nice and messed up. I have a hard time telling what happened to it. I know you dirtied up the texture, but it looks very arbitrary? how did it get destroyed?

    I was imaging the destroyed one as being blown up from an RPG or something. For example, if you go play the battlefield games, they just swap to a destroyed model like this w/flames burning on it after hit by a rocket, it was destroyed with that idea in mind.

    I'm really liking the model, It looks detailed and refined. The only thing that looks strange to me are the objects strapped to the side, I feel like some of those things, at least the gun, should have its own holster like the shovel instead of just being strapped down.

    Having that distraction model is a cool idea, I think you should keep on working on that. Maybe have more of the parts in it bending rather than dismantled.

    You can always spot a skilled modeler when he can make believable models in their destroyed state. :D

    that looks awesome. only thing i might change is the tread on the broken model. have the break a bit under the gear things and have some fallen tread bunched up in front so it looks like it kept going a bit after the tread broke.

    Great Job! The high-poly is remarkably well made. Keep working on the destroyed version, it could look a lot better.
