[GALLERY] Neuro's logical disorders.

Would it be backhanded to say that I like everything but the chassis?

You stuck too closely to the low-res Hog's chassis (except for that part I circled furthest to the right -- that just looks weird) and as a result, you inherited a lot of the low-res pinches and facets in your high-res model.

Most of your problem is trying to make straight edges mesh with a curved chassis. You get what you get doing it that way. The better way is to make the chassis first and then let it inform whether the adjoining edges can be straight or whether they need to be curved by necessity. Most of them should be curved. This is the type of thing I would use shitloads of NURBS curves to assist in achieving a smooth, aerodynamic shape. A lot of people dismiss curves in poly modeling, but they can mean the difference between something that looks carved out of soap and something that looks like it just rolled off an assembly line.

you're right.

but its really tricky to make straight edges work properly with curved surfaces, yous always get some funky stuff going on somewhere.
i could have modelled it flat and then FFD'd it, but i just went with whatever was the most productive at that time, and never really went back to it to fix it.
in the end, i figured it does the job plenty good, and after texturing, you won't even notice any pinches anyway.

its one of those 'in retrospect' things.
(and id call a few things artistic freedom too hehe)

thanks alot for the feedback though, much appreciated.

been aching to post this.

Nice. 'Nuff said.

Lookin forward to the bake

Ooh my. Looks good.

Dane's texturing it. he's fucking slow.

i'm not really happy with these renders, it completely disappears against the background :/

Wing mirrors and hearts in the tyre treads? Interesting addons :D

Love the overall hog though.

Any pics of the low poly model that will be ingame?

I like the bread box style glovebox on the passenger side. And the AC vents. And the radio.

All you need is a set of windshield wipers and it might actually be a civilian vehicle.
