I just modeled this today, and a friend did the textures. It's a keypad for the supposed community project "Operation 600."

Please tell me what you think.

Link doesn't work. How many polygons (triangles) does it contain?

Opto, your link is wrong. It's:

http://www.noenemeis.com/downloads/art/keypad.zip

And should be:

OK.

Tris - ummm....well, I'll figure that out....


wizzlefish(Posted 2005) [#5]
So....what about the design? You like it?

It's noting very special, but it may be pretty useful for an elevator or something. The quality is ok if it doesn't use more Tris than neccessary (about 40). For a first model it's a good job. Of course this kind of shape isn't one of the hard things to model.

What did you use, Milkshape?
if so, here are some tutorials:

Thanks, a lot!

Yeah, I know it's not that great, but, you know, I'm NOT an artist. I never have been - I'm a better designer, programmer, and leader. I've never been that great at art. But I'm really excited - I now know the power of textures.

It's a long way to the top - if you wanna 3D Art.

I like that website - but I can't read German :)

Thanks for the link, though.

[EDIT]Translated it through Google.


jfk EO-11110(Posted 2005) [#10]
Half of the tutorials are in english (see flag icons).


wizzlefish(Posted 2005) [#11]
Yes, I saw them.

Thank you for the link, yet again. I've never heard of that site.

Google is my best friend.


jfk EO-11110(Posted 2005) [#12]
Most of the stuff the guy offers on his page is tested and proofed to be top class. He really has got a lot of decent links, tho basicly it's a german site, of course.


wizzlefish(Posted 2005) [#13]
Yeah.

Well, what should I add to the model?
