[crits] school bus
polycounter lvl 5
hello guys ^^
working on a school bus, and would like to have some crits from you all as regards both modelling and texturing.
the model hasnt been put in an engine so far, since i want it to be as good as possible before doing it. when im done with it all, ill throw it in cryengine and see how it looks ^^
these are the shots i have, both ortho and perspective. sorry for the jpg compression, if you guys want i can grab some better resolution shots later on
any kind of crit is welcome, mainly to what concerns texturing. the bus so far sits at 25k tris (total - inside, outisde and bottom), 2048 textures.

Start off by adding some subtle shading and highlights to it to pronounce the shapes better, and make sure to check out references to see how buses like these generally get weathered.
On the front bumper there is some strange normal's going on, try plugging it into udk or marmoset, it might just be a max thing. Or flip the green channel.
Most school buses have multipul blind spot mirrors.
If that is a bluebird add the bluebird logo?
Side door is missing glass I think.
Grill of the bus needs a second pass. I cant find any Google images that show a grill like that.
What you need to work more are details... all the single parts of a bus... and specially textures and materials...
Look for references and check out how paint, glass, metals...etc works in real life and age...
Keep it up, you can get nice result out of it... the base is good, you need to polish details!
thanks for the crits, putting them to good use
about the uv space, im using a multimat (since this will be used in a cryengine project im part of), so they are 4 submaterials: hull, hood, seats + wheels, and misc:
(the empty space that can be seen in the fourth submat is where the glass will be, ill be adding the diffuse, specular and an alpha for the dirt)
the bus will be used in cutscenes, and later optimized for in game use (but afaik crytek internal limit for vehicles during ce2 was 20k polies - 40k tris, if someone can get me updated on their internal limit with ce3 id appreciate it, just to have a guideline for how i should deal with the in game count).
thanks again for the crits so far, its been helping loads ^^ keep them coming
edit: about the grill, indeed i was thinking of adding on top of it some bars, like crossed: five horizontals, and three verticals. it would cost me only 50 tris at most, so its not that much of a hassle doing it, and would help the silhouette a lot...
