That looks really good. Are you going to take advantage of the engines features? Looks like it supports BUMP mapping.  :smitten:

Maybe. Truth me told I think I'm going to try some Normal mapping with this one, wrap my head around the workflow of that particular can of beans.

If you are going the way you are with your model then normal mapping is a breeze just use the nvidia dds software

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html

I think it is only supported for adobe Ps though.
But all you do is draw your bump map. BLACK -> WHITE to show relief and GRAY'S in between elements and then use that plug in to convert it to a bump map.

Nope.
I'm doing something a little more extreme.

There will be three versions of this model: Low-Res, High-Res, and Uber-Res. The Low-Res is just the model with no Turbosmoothing. The High-Res is going to be a turbosmoothed version. The Uber-Res will have a 2-iteration turbosmooth that I will then add even more detail to. The Uber-Res will be used to make normal maps for the other two :)

Ahhh cool, so your gonna use projection mapping, using the higher poly model to provide the bump maps for the lower version. Its definitely the best way to do it and not "cheap".

Show progress where you can please.

That's the plan.

First things first, though - Unwrapping. I just came down with a cold, too :-/

Unwrapping is complete. Markyd was right - Unified meshes are easier to unwrap.

Great work there mate, When are you going to start on the higher poly model?

And we continue.


I'm actually thinking of ditching the higher-res model - I'm getting more than enough detail via textures.

Looking good. She needs a bit more pannleing effect over the large gray area but the texture is still WIP right ;)

Looks just like the ships from the game, with the same style and textures...

WOW! Awesome! They look like they fit perfectly!

Once the contest is over, will you release these to your adoring public?

Is the Brutix your model, or did you rip it from the game?

If I don't win first place, I have no problem releasing it. If I DO win first place, then CCP adds it to the game.

The Brutix is not my model, but one I ripped from the game for comparison's sake.
