A fifth generation Milkyway Stargate (3rd generation Pegasus gate). The main body isn't done. That's pretty much all that's left. That and the glyphs. I'll have the "chevron wings" done soon. I only get to model on the weekends now =(
I'm also working on a Destiny Stargate, but there isn't much ref at the current time so I decided to make this one instead.
Done:
Chevrons
Chevron lights and the frame for the lights
Chains is actually right on this one, guys. Aside from the layer properties and laying out lighting like he said, and working on your depth of field like ICEE mentioned, you should work background to foreground. The work turns out much better this way.
Bingo.
Every good painter I've watched started by filling out the major shapes in the background and working down to the details, which is probably why I'm a shithouse painter - I go nuts over the smallest detail and half-arse everything else.
few more model tweaks, a little bit more UVing, and then I should be done with it model wise. Hoping to texture it all today.
I'm not exactly sure what I wanna do with the big box on the right yet though :/
Your uv is wack. You want to have even pixel density across the whole mesh (meaning having all of hte rectangles the same size) so parts of the mesh are lower resolution than other parts. The texture quality is equal throughout the whole mesh. There is also a fair amount of stretching on some parts of the unwrap.
See all that black space in your layout?
You're using like half your map.
This is final unless some people say the shader is bad in some way. I semi used the specular(alpha) map, its kinda worthless when I used it in photoshop but I got it to work.

A very fast painted Abstract piece I did for the hell of it.
