Well, I made a table for my class room pack I want to make, but I don't know what to add in the high poly, this is the low poly:



So if you know something that should be added, please tell me cause I'm inspirationless.

If this is a wooden desk, you could do a sculpt if you have the program to do so, add some errors in the wood, chips and dents etc.

instead of using blender to render it try something else... like truespace.

and it needs a texture.

Well, this was just a basic materail I added, didn't like plain grey, but the desk is made of wood, and the structure of metal.

And yes I have a moddeler, ZBrush, but someone once told me you can't normal map a overhang. But what I thought was making liek bolts or something where the table is attached to the frame.

And why wouldn't I use blender to render?? Is truespace better or something??

PS: And its gonna have a texture, just need to make them.

PPS: How do I make uv's overlap perfectly, cause I have 2 symetrical parts and to save space on the uv I would like them to overlap.

@Extra detail:
I usually remember desks like that(at least where I'm from) having holes and scratches dug into the surface by a bored student's pencil.

@Perfect overlapping:
I believe you can weld UV vert's together in blender's UV editor. I haven't used it much, but I think I remember being able to do that.

blender is better for modeling but the rendering isn't that good.

if you are going to continue using blender to render then at least go to world settings and press shadeless. it turns off the shadows. on something like your desk it would look one hell of a lot better

Well, I just found a problem, I made a low poly table in blender, exported it to obj. Imported into ZBrush and made the high poly, the only problem now is that when I export from Zbrush and import into blender, the table is not at the same place and is not of the same size, how would I fix this.

Try importing the low poly again to Zbrush, make no no changes, and export it, and load it in.

Well, Right now I'm trying to texture this, but I don't know what kind of metal I should use, just leave it plain stainless, make it painted black or kinda brown greyish??

Tip, visit www.cgtextures.com

find some metal pictures, then overlay them onto the metal parts of your texture, change the opacity and blending option for optimal results.

Blender is great at rendering, and don't turn off shading, just disable shadows in the lamp settings. Also, turn on AO in the world settings.

i like orange

Very well, but just a note, commercial games use picture overlays, helps make things look more realistic.

Picture overlays?? Could you explain.

And I will turn on shadow again, its just that someone told me to not make shadows few post earlier.

Edit: Where is the AO button in world settings??

Edit: With the new settings ( exept AO ) this is what it looks like:

Well, What I did was turn of shadows on the object, then Adnrew said not to do it and instead turn of shadow in lights, this is what I get when doing that. And could you explain specular map??

And right now, the metal is way to stretched, so right now I'm redoing the uv.
