Joopson - Summer Challenge
 

Hey guys, I'm gonna keep this Low-poly (more fun), but other than that, Im not sure what to do. Ill post my Ideas as soon as I can!

Im gonna head up into my 100 degree attic to take some pictures of old crap....(or stuff, anyway).. I will post them later.

I found this old sewing table up there, so I will probably do this, in Low-poly (under 5000, anyway ;))

Ill start today, probably

and another 2 pictures after searching google ;)

good choice joopson - there's a lot of potential with this model. :)

Sweet. Have fun with that! Low poly count sounds like a good idea.

Started it. No sewing machine or cast-iron stuff yet.

i added the separators in that middle drawer
so far I am at 1271 tris

and a crappy Wireframe shot

not sure how happy I am with my iron-work, but its looks OK. My count is at 3399 so far.

legs were to short, so I lengthened them

lookin great so far man kutgw:beer:

thanks acid!
heres another update

added some detail to the foot pedal. Now I'm at 4769 tris.. meaning I have only 231 faces to make the sewing machine itself. So I am going to bump up the final count to 5500, so I can have a bit of freedom with the sewing machine itself.

I started making the sewing machine itself. 4997 tris, so far.

a little more. I think the texture will make this work Im at 5433 tris at this time.

looks wicked so far man, the texture will definately make it:beer:

thanks!

Awsome work joopsoon! :beer: Will be keeping an eye on this. I have almost found what I'm going to do.

Progressing really fast Joopson, like usual in your challenges!

thanks everyone, I will make some tweaks and then start the dreaded UV mapping :-\

Dreaded? Nah, mapping that thing is gonna take a while, but it should'nt be too hard.

LOL, but I think it's the editing of UVs which is dreaded... mapping only takes one push of a button ;)
As Zel said, It's not supposed to be too hard. Good luck with that one.

looking really nice

thanks everyone! I'll try to start mapping it soon:eeek2:

yeah - this is looking great. :beer:

thanks arran,
I was having some fun importing it into Oblivion, haha

Haha, bloom will definitely destroy that… :D

ooh, SM was down for while. I'm gonna set up lighting, and then start texturing... (yes, I am stalling :p )

Very inspiring work Joopson. . . . well done!!

thanks, I'm not done yet though! haha... ugh, I guess I'll UV map it today.... as much as I dont want too, haha

ok, started UVing, and layed out an awful mock-up texture, haha

yeah - that texture is looking a bit garish.. :)

really loving this piece though - good work mate.

the metal frame looks great, looks like it's already taken damage

or is that just because Maya saves jpegs as low quality?

Thanks, the frame is just a cast-iron texture I made, and cast Iron always looks old and ruined, haha.
But yeah, I will start the REAL texture today, but probably tomorrow ;), haha

Very nice progress Joopson! :beer: How about some closer shots?

I'll get right on that when I get back from camping in 3 days, which should be awesome!

camping was amazing, except for the 12 hour hike, so now I need to get back to work, haha....
I'll update soon

Ok, back to business, I've been busy lately with some stuffs. Here is a bit more texture work, but it is still crap ;) I haven't done anything to the sewing part itself, but I improved the wood and added hinges and made the cast Iron more visible.

Try increasing bump depth for the wood a bit. Also the iron texture looks stretched where the geometry's flat, and the edges there need to be softened I think. the sawing machine needs a lot of work but the model itself is pretty good... Waiting to see more progress on this.
