In Response To: Re: Covenant Assault Boat Update *IMGS* (bentllama) : : I like the fact that you have refined the shape. the model feels alot more : streamilined now and more worthy of its maiden voyage... : I think before you try to reduce polycount or even take polycount into : attention, you need to improve the "flow" of the model...take : one step at a time... ;) : you will also find, that when your model has "flow" your polycount : sort of solves itself. : I did a VERY QUICK and rough paintover on your screenshot [hope you don't : mind] : You will see that I used yellow to illustrate some lines of "flow" : - the lines just happen to make for good poly placement too... though : there are a few tris in there, they should not interrupt the : "flow" : I feel that as a beginner, you would be better off to improve the aesthetics : of your model than to worry about technical squabbles with polycount, : planar polys, tri-stripping, etc... I feel that after you have a great : looking model, learning how to edit that model to make it technically : sound is the best way to learn...I say this because when you want to keep : your model looking great, you really do think about how you tear it apart : technically... : once you get used to making more and more models, the technical stuff will be : second nature as you make an aesthetically pleasing piece of 3D meat. : keep up the hard work... : for your first model you are doing well... is this boat actually in the game, i mean halo 2.
