you fail at eyes.

What I've been up to lately:

are you making a game or something? i love the suitcase texture it looks real!
is your name... Jason?

Yes (sorta) and no respectively

Looks great! Can't wait to see 'em when you have reflectioncubes on the materials!

Simple police car.



UV Map, 256 x 256:


Comments? On ModelBase now.

Try doing some preshading.

An AO map bake! Get meshmapper, load the mesh into both 'High' and 'Low' options, generate the maps and save the Ambient Occlusion to a separate file.
Finally, load this file into Photoshop / GIMP / Whatever and overlay it above the main texture, setting blend mode to Multiply. Tada, instant shading!

Are the lights on top of the car meant to be on? If so, add highlights and generally give it the impression of 'light from within' (I'd suggest using the Dodge tool for that)

Need some opinions.. texture looks over detailed to me, but how is it to you guys?

You need some preshading, and you need some bevels. On a real tank they wouldn't just paint a lighter color on like that, some part of the tank are not as high/low as the hull.

I'm in agreement with Hoi on that. I see you're using a 256, which makes it a bit tricky with those bevels, but possible. I'd honestly recommend breaking it down into shades of green, based on light- the top surfaces should be brighter, and I'd lose the blobs (although I like the hatches, rear grille, and side details, I'd keep them, personally).

Basically, the bits look blobby and noisy, though, because they aren't lit or shaded to suggest depth.
