OK, I’m finished with the modeling! If you look on my site, you‘ll find the HD pic (which I would highly recommend doing).

Special thanks for this project go to iTunes, Dean Martin, The Godfather soundtrack, and the Letters From Iwo Jima soundtrack for keeping me alive while I was modeling by myself. user added image

C&C welcome!

Now, on to the texturing……

I just started the UV mapping on it today. It took me an hour and a half to map the main body part (my mesh is more dense than Kurt‘s). Tomorrow I’m going to clean up the UVs on it.

I did another hour of work, moving (some of) the UVs around, and I had to remap some of the UVs. I think tomorrow I’ll have all the UVs cleaned up, and possibly sewed (since I’m following the tuts).

Theres a bit of stretching that I would clean up like on the sides that have been extruded out its stretched at those points.

Yeah, I’m gonna try to fix that. Most of the work I did yesterday was moving the front, top, and bottom UVs into position.

Maybe. I tried rigging a character (organic) before this project, and that failed miserably, but I’m going to try to find some tuts for rigging this.

on mechanical rigs you have to parent the parts directly to the joints...

OK, now I have a big question. In my scene, I have all of my objects as polys. In the tut, kurt Kurt converts some stuff to NURBS, so he doesn’t have to UV map them. I always thought that polys were better, so which should I do?
