Hi everybody, I decided to start this sketchbook because, well I want to show what I'm working on and hopefully get lots of feedback! I feel that my biggest flaw is texturing. So I thought it would be cool to make some props and maybe an environment with only color map, kinda world of warcraft/diablo3 art style. Gonna be fun and a big challenge.

Here is my first creation, classic over-sized sword.

quick sketch:

My mesh:

just started on the texture, also got the mesh down to 504 tris. Working with a 1024x1024 map but I think it will be a 512x512 when it's done.

I decided to finish another piece I was doing before I continue with the sword, just the basic gun that seems to be standard in every portfolio. Here is my high poly model, I'm currently UV mapping the low poly that ended up at around 1950 triangles i think. 1024x1024 color, spec and normal.

I need stuff for my portfolio, thereby this perhaps boring gun. 1902 tris

wires!


UV layout!
