That looks awesome! I like the subtle breaks in the planks, with a texture that looks like the insides.

Great crate!

If I may offer some suggestions though on how to REALLY spiff this thing up:

You can definitely get that 108 polycount down. I count 13 for the top, multiply times 6 and I get 78. And if your never going to see the bottom faces, just delete them. I know 30 poly's don't sound like much, but if you have many of these crates, and they have physics on them and what not, every little bit counts.

There are a few blemishes in the texture that could use to be healing brushed/clone stamped out. Specifically the one dink/dent that I can see all around it.

I would tell you to overlap the two plain/blank sides of the box on the UV map so it mirrors and you can save yourself some space... but space for what... you wouldn't be able to expand anything anyway. But it's just good practice.

Make those changes!

Thanks! Never got such good reviews on a model... and this is only a crate

Sid, I'm pretty sure it's as low poly as it can be... so I don't know if it matters to make it MORE low poly


Update: I'm making a game in DBP out of these crates. I'll post it on the WIP board shortly.

If you don't mind, post up a wireframe pic. When I count, I get a different number than 108. I'm wondering where the extra 30 are.

It looks more like... 13 shapes...?

1 central cube and 12 for the edges. Each edge box has 8 polys with the end polys deleted?

12 edge boxes with 8 polys each for 96 polys
1 central cube with 12 polys

for... 108 polys?

Nice texturing, btw.

There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

Yeah, he definitely took a round about way of making it, but it turned out nice. I don't think you know how to do a multisub texture or a full unwrap Xenosythe? Or do you, and you just decided to make it this way?

Thanks CoughMist.

Sid,
What do you mean by a multisub texture or 'full' unwrap?

Basically, there is a simple cube in the middle, and 12 boxes of the same shape and size all around it on the edges. I cut off the end faces of the edge-boxes to save some poly's.

So, to unwrap it, I grouped each box separately. Then, I overlapped each side of each box to save space on the UV Map. That's why every face of the boxes on the edge are the same
Next, I took top, bottom, and pairs of both sides of the main cube and added them to the UV map as well.

The practice was that I put a 'checker pattern' over the entire texture. My goal was to learn how to proportionally make the UV map the same scale for the whole model. So I had to adjust for about 20 minutes, and finally I got the perfect scales for each section of the UV map.


I don't know if that's what you call 'full unwrap', but I am covering every face of the model.

It's just an odd way to do it. Traditionally, and professionally, for objects like this, it's water tight. That's not to say there are tons of models in game's that don't use multiple objects in them though.

Sorry to be a pest about it. All I mean to do is educate you on some other ways you could have done it. You did an awesome job with the texture!
