thank you for the critique you wrote.. i guess it's up to me now answer the questions you asked to me. I'lll try to do.. first and second: textures. I know almost nothing about textures. In reality, I have read and watched tutorial abou UV mapping and UV editor but I have just done the first steps in this field. Let's say at this moment I'm concerned more on the materials than texture and/or image (I have just started to understand Hypershade a little now!), so that is the reason because in my works rhe objects are solid color o monochromatic: I don't know how to do otherwise..
This explain the density of the texture too. Third: normal maps. I have heard many times about them, but it's another thing I haven't learned already to do, so in reality I tell you: I don't use normal maps 'cause I couldn't use them in a right way. Fourth. the polycount.. I go to the opposite: I'll try to remain as low as possible. Why? I am not so good in details and stuff like that. I'm just an amateur, let's not forget this... and a bit too old for this! And last.. i don't render using the internal renderer of Maya, less you think V-Ray as an internal renderer and not a plugin. I like very much V-Ray and don't think to use or export game engines like Unreal, Unity or CryEngine (another subject would be the Frostbyte engine, but I don't know if it will be ever available to the public) for now.. it'd be really too soon for me! Give some time to learn Maya then I could try to study other systems (if I'm not already dead of old age of course!) even if I ain't so interested in create in a far future games assets and/or environments, maybe because I'm not so interested in games perhaps? Lastly, (again) talking in the community of polycounting and modeling to other people.. good advice| As I feel to have reached the minimum level needed to be accepted there, I'll go. And about the lot of learnig and work to do, you don't sound mean.. but I didn't believe to have said or showed something that could let think other people I'm think to do greatest things and be so proud.. never said! In a amiginary ladder composed of (let's say) 100 steps, you maybe are on the twentieth step, I, on the other hand, am between the step 0.025 and step 0.05. And I don't know how much furter I can go.. ok. Thank you for the critique and whatever you want to say, advices, hints, mean speeches.. well, I'll listen all!
