Work in progress

I'm pretty happy how this guy turned out, though it took me longer than ususal, and i had a momentus amount of trouble importing him into UT, but it all worked in the end.

the original textures were 1024*1024, same as the unreal ones, next time i intend to do something a little smaller - 512 or 256 or something.

he can be dowloaded for UT2004 from here if anyone wants it:

Tight mesh man! well done, sweet polyflow and distribution. I noticed that your profile says " i wouldnt consider myself a texture artist" well thats a damn fine job considering man, full marks!

no crits from me. i think it will fit UT perfectly!

Re the pics : they all work good for me [?]

what? so the pics showed up? theuyr're not working for me!

as for the texture artist bit, i guess i've improved a fair bit in the last year, but that still took me a fair while to complete, so i'll call myself a texture artist once i can do it to a better standard and in a reasonable timeframe.

That's nice, just one question, i'm trying to learn unwrapping myself, do you use max and is so, do you use a series of planar projections for unwrapping.

i apply the uvw unwrap modifyer, open it up, and move everything out of the way. i then go about selecting the faces i want and hitting ENTER to planar map them, like front, sides, and top for the head, then then stich them together. then move them outofthe way and move onto another part.

i find this way quicker, as if you go applying cylindrical or whatever unwraps on everyhing (which takes ages) and then go into the UVW unwrap and tweek it all, it takes so much longer cos you need to adjust it so much anyway.

other people will likely have other ways

Now I know why you were so mad at qantm forums when I said your avatar was scarier than Berg's avrilberg avatar. Sorry but he is scarier...because avrilberg is meant to be funny.

Nice work though. I can never draw textures like you.

mad? nah. i only get mad at computers, not people.

Good work.
Though I think some of the gold trimmings and the flesh could use some more working on. His eyes look a little too bright (too much white).
Nice model and design though :)
