Haha, you literally just obliterated my model, by posting your old work. :(
How do the joints work? I don't know. I used halo 3 as a reference for making this, but tried to make it my own. I'll look into putting more into the joints and middle section.
Thanks for the crit. =D
Wait. What out of Halo 3 is this supposed to be?
Either the Covenant Sentry Turrets on Snowbound or the Covenant Communications Transmitters.Quote:

It's a secret until Lumaria gets released. But yes, it is based off of the comm transmitter. Serves another purpose though. :)

the cylinder hinges are still weird, but hiding them in shadow and dark area's can hide it pretty damn effectively, and they don't pop out to the eyes, so i suppose you can get away with it quite well. :)
Yea. Btw, thanks for telling me to go through 3ds max for making my maps. Holy shit! Never going back to xnormals. Haha.
Next thing is texturing and fixing up small errors. http://boards.polycount.net/images/s...ns/poly120.gif

The model is 6k tri's. My limit for the mod is 10k tri's, so I'm pretty happy. I see lots of places that I could have reduced even more, but I'm under the limit as it is.
Honestly. I like it, but my eye is instantly drawn to the antenna things up top and how extremely low poly they are as compared to the high. I think you could have stood to add a few more to make it more round. But that's really my only complaint.
Looks like there are a lot of smoothing errors with the low poly, although most will probably not be noticeable with a diffuse and legit spec thrown on there. However, I drew out a few things I see wrong.

To the green Critique, I agree. I am already texturing this, so I won`t go back now, but I will keep that in mind.
As for the second picture critique, I didn't model that in. That`s normal's creating the effect. But yea, on those bulbs, you are right yet again.
Hopefully I can distribute the polies better on my next piece, which should be soon. :)
Thanks for critique. :)
