I think one of the main problems was I used two sphere shapes in the design, which probs stuffed up the poly count. Yeah, spheres are the most inefficient base object you can use in terms of poly count. You probably could have just extruded from a single sphere, if that's what you wanted to use as the main "body" of the Wisp. I'm working on your model right now, and a thing to keep in mind is that if you won't be able to see a particular polygon by looking at the outside of your model, it's unnecessary (the poly in question). So on the inside, all of those polys that make up pretty much both circles are unnecessary except for the tops and bottoms. Also, this would be a nightmare to UV map in it's current state, but that's another beast altogether. Start simple, then work up from there. |

The problem was I started with a octagonal prism, from there built the parts of the ship that jut forward, and then realised I need it to be round at the front and back. Not realising there was a certain poly number needed, I just added spheres and sorta merged them into the rest of the prism. Then build the rest of the ship from there. |

AHA! Fixed, now with only 329 poly! obj. file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60130296/Wilow% ... p%203d.obj Some screenies, it looks basically the same as the original: |

Looks great, but it still needs a texture, right? |

I hope the poking rod is pointed, then. |

If it wasn't extruded out of a sphere it would look better and be allot easier to UV map. |

The extruded sphere was because the orignal had way too many faces. I attempted to texture the wisp, but I fail epically, I might try again, but here is (probably a badly done) UV map and the .obj file to go with it. UV map Obj file |

Ok so no one posted a texture for me :S So I decided to attempt one myself, here is finished result + the newer version of the wisp, squashed it down a bit so it isnt a cyclinder and turned it 180o cause when I put it ingame it was flying backwards, the texture doesnt line up perfectly in places (my first attempt at texturing) but if you add a nice bright white glow or aura effect, w.e. it is to it, that should'nt be noticable.  New obj file: Willow.obj Texture: Willow.jpg And a few screenys ingame. Attachment: 1.png Attachment: 2.png Attachment: 3.png The pixelly look is just my computer, and I just realised thats in medium graphic settings. Jeffums? Can it be added? I'm guessing the white trail is server side done and I still have no idea how to glowmap stuff. |
