Week #8 - Park Bridge - Low Poly

[MStandar]

Thanks slayer , i tought it was 3000 tris not 3000 polys .

Here are some update pics.

Some great entries already.
May be a bit late in the day to start this but here goes.
I probably won't get it finished as my texturing really sucks.
Started yesterday and decided to model the fence railings so poly count is about 2000.

I'm in as well. I've been browsing threedy for quite some time and thought why not give it a go. Just started modeling yesterday. Some really nice entries so far. As I have not much time left I'm not sure if I can finish it, but hopefully a lot of you guys will!

Anyway, this is what I have so far.

Er, I thought the brief would be 3000 tris, otherwise you could do all sorts of evil things with x-sided polys. You could do the whole front face of the bridge as a single poly for example but it would obviously have a lot more triangles than that

[Slayer89]

These challenges usually are tri's, but it states 3k poly limit this time

Yep i had actually managed to make some 5 and 6 sided, when i did the stones/rocks. but they are all fixed know. so i belive it's important that people post wires, so we can see whats its actually made of

[Perversonality]

Just post the triangle count as well as the poly count. I'd definitely consider it a triangle limit though as that would be the only way to make sure all the entries are consistent and on a level playing field

[QUAN]

This is my final model. There are 1,164 polygons.

Yep will do that, but so far i dont have a problem, with the limit, im at 1126 polygons/2080 triangles, and i thinking i am near the finish line, have som more fooliage to do, and some detailing. but the base is there.


Looking nice Quan

But as far as i have understand it, we are only allowed to use one 1024*1024 texture sheet, and correct me if im wrong, but you are having two of them.

Maybe i am wrong.

[Slayer89]

Your correct MStandar, its 1 1024x1024 texture sheet for the whole thing

[QUAN]

Really, I didn't know that. My bad. I think that this scene has many objects, and it won't look good if we put all of the textures in one sheet.

[Slayer89]

Alot of low-poly stuff is usually restricted to 1 texture sheet

[MStandar]

Yep, and thats the whole purpose, of these challanges, to see how far you can push your limits, and create good looking models, with the lowest amount of polys/tris, and textures.
