I utilized the bad weather last weekend to improve my poor 3d modelling skills a bit and created a small 3d scene. This is my first model which actually uses some real UV mapping instead of simple planar mapping: The whole model only uses 2 textures altough it looks like a lot more. It still sucks but I personally like it ;)
Thanks to
CopperCube, you can take a look at the model in realtime here:
There are a lot of things to improve, but I still like it. It resembles the look of a game I am planning to create should I have some time again (not looking that good for now), and maybe this would be the starting point for the game then.
I noticed a little bit of popping with the tree planes and background geometry. Also I think it may look better with mipmapping turned off.
I'm betting you're new game project will be great, drop me a note if you're needing any models or art assets ;)
