Working on some various models 2.

[Bull]

Beers models are great. I always thought it was a shame that there were just a few of them.

In the past week I've picked up modeling seriously. I had messed around a bit before, but that was just a matter of hours.
After asking Beers permission and receiving some golden tips, I thought it was time to make a thread.

So far I've made a new ranger and gyroscope.

Some comparison with the old models:
Ranger polycount: -44.4% (160 versus 288)
Ranger texture: -87.4% (43 versus 342kb)
Gyroscope polycount: -58.5% (840 versus 2024)
Gyroscope texture: -66.6% (117 versus 351kb)



What do you guys think? I am wasting my time or should I continue?
Any suggestions?

Please let me know.

I suggest taking screenshots in a map with some form of lighting.. the lighting (or lack thereof) in flatgrass is awful. These are looking pretty good.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the ranger yet though.. I don't really like the bright white area. Perhaps try replacing that part of the texture with some sort of grille/vent looking thing.

The ranger is awesome, except the white bit should be grey imo

Can you make a few new plug models like a usb or something else small?

You are definitely not wasting your time, updated models is always a good thing

Also, take screenshots with graphics on highest and aa plz

In my opinion ranger model is awesome, but i don't like the gyro model.

Thanks for the replies.

Grey color for the ranger coming up. (I actually planned it to be grey, but it turned out more white.. I didn't dislike it so it stayed.)
What about the gimbals on the gyro? I'm really not sure about the color of those. Maybe also metalic?

I would have thought a ranger would be a large cube with a thin cone or tube on the end for the beam.

I like the models. What program(s) did you use? I have always wanted to get into modelling but never have. Maybe you could write a tutorial on how to make models, because these are amazing.

In my opinion ranger model is awesome, but i don't like the gyro model.

The problem with the gyro is that it's not really possible to "update" it in my opinion, an electronic gyro just looks like a boring chip.

saying that, what about making it like these; Gyroscope Rotors
