[QUOTE=The Rizzler;46155034]increase the ray distance maybe?[/QUOTE] Maybe, though the model is made up of various pieces and after learning what exploded baking is, i'm going to try it out.

Mosin I've been working on, didn't come out quite how I wanted it to. It still looks nice though. [thumb]http://imgur.com/bKfXaVP.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://imgur.com/HrW3nDx.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://imgur.com/2qTJ7th.png[/thumb]

[QUOTE=MrBunneh;46162320]it looks nice, but I think the diffuse of your metal is way too bright.[/QUOTE] I'd say wood is too dark.

[QUOTE=rebel1324;46162411]I'd say wood is too dark.[/QUOTE] yeah I can see that now. I'd say it's both, really.

hope this is good enough to be posted here. So my first attempt at creating something in blender, I'm still pretty much new to this and there are o lot of features that i have no idea what they do or how to use it. Anyway here is a render, It's supposed to be a hood of a 57/58(with few editing it can be a 59) plymouth that i hope to finish one day. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SDVg0Rh.png[/IMG] This is what i'm trying to make it look like, i couldn't any good pics although if i searched a bit harder i can find some.

I am just wondering though because you mentioned that this is your first attempt at using Blender, do you have any previous modelling experience? It just seems like quite a complex vehicle to take on as your first project.

Does anyone know why normal map gets this lines? on the middle, not on the right [URL=http://imgur.com/AzbTsJI][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AzbTsJIl.png[/IMG][/URL]

Gradients like that on your normal means that the faces on your low poly don't really match the surface of your high poly. Either check for bad control loops on your high or broken/bad smoothing on your low. Try manual triangulation of complex surfaces if it's a weird curve. You might want to consider adding additional geometry to your low poly as well, so your normalmap doesn't have to make up so much of the difference, which isn't ideal due to compression and gradients not being the best of friends.

It just seems like quite a complex vehicle to take on as your first project.[/QUOTE] Your dodge looks very nice and detailed. And you right i think it's a bit complex project. I'll try to find a nice tut to start model something simple, Then come back to this.

I've been wanting to get into 3d scanning, could somebody point me in the right direction? I don't know where to start.

[QUOTE=GLion;46170728]And you right i think it's a bit complex project.

If you're going to look on the net for tutorials though be careful as there's a lot of wrong info out there.

Two stationary pylons off the main cylinder, two moving arms and one rotating nozzle. Each of the rounded rectangles are thruster nozzles. More to come as its made.

Is the eye shearing pink a personal choice for these renders? Just asking. You seem to pick these really insane background colors for your renders a lot.

Yes it is actually. It isn't supposed to be pink, its supposed to be purple. Anyway, I use that because of its high contrast, as opposed to say Black which loses most of the details anyway. That, and its actually easier on [i]my[/i] eyes when I'm staring at a screen for 8-9 hours at a time working on the models.

I'll try it for the next render.

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;46179419]Working on this [img]http://i.imgur.com/KMHASNZ.png[/img] (yes that's the heavy head)[/QUOTE] The head is fitting, but the lack of a neck is a bit disturbing. :v:

I agree. Gaining weight would certainly make your neck look a little smaller but his shoulder goes right into his jaw.

[img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b164/Soukonoung/Missiletube_zps3bf8920d.jpg[/img] Tried this one with the skyblue as requested. Don't much care for it. Anywho, here is a replaceable missile tube, ready for rigging. (Going to be used on my ship, so... yeah. Made alot of mistakes with that one.)

[QUOTE=John117;46162903]Useful information[/QUOTE] Thanks for the advice. I'll take a further look once I finish some of my midterms coming up.

some of your edges could be tighter. and dat smiley faec

ohey a pipboy!

Pretty happy with this, 4 hour for model and animation. [video=youtube;4ieX7hdVxzI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ieX7hdVxzI[/video] p.s. Seriously cannot figure out how embed videos here, how do i do it?!
