That actually looks pretty nice. The abse texture seems good. The bevel edges should be a bit more defined though, and maybe have some damaged egdes/corners.

the base texture is nice, like hunter said, but its missing all the wear and tear, not just the stuff around the edges.

Thanks, I'll work on that.

Now I need to figure out how to do UVW maps :/

Uving that box? Or something else.

Also, you planning on doing a specular for that box? If its metal I highly suggest you do

Edit: Also, maybe bake an ambient occlusion onto the texture, really helps add depth using shadows, they obviously wont be real time but it can help out.

How else do I apply different part of the texture to each face?

I don't really know how those work.

Well yeah, uving the box is the answer to allowing it to use different sections on the same texture file.

In short, apply a Unwrap UVW modifier to the box, select face in the tree for unwrap, untick normalize map, set it to planar and find the right axis, and make the face smaller in the edit uwv's preview box. Google it though theres thousands of tuts out there.

Specular can help add shine to things, google that too. xD

to make ambient occlusion, you either bake one from a hi res mesh to a low poly mesh (the real way), or you can use a height map and use xnormal to make an ambient occlusion from it (the fake way). both ways yield decent results, so choose which you'd rather do d:

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

you have a non-planar in the back.

Lmao I can no longer clay render... Well I've got most of the hull outline done and going to move in and add all the panels. I've also finished a majority of the panels covering the wheels, with the exception of the last panel covering the gear wheel.



I have a request to make. Can someone find me pictures of the suspension/ axial for the majority of the wheels because I can't find any.
