Free Chest: Blizzard style by Yughues

I'll start trying that then XD starting with this!
Thanks for the reply mate

Yes just a matter of context and opinion.

I myself enjoy quite "high" detailed models, as seeing crappy ones just hurt my eyes. One of the reasons I've never wanted to play WoW... (and to save my social life as well, héhé XD )
The lately released Doom3 BFG Edition is one of the examples I consider not to be followed at any cost : horrible models that seemed having been cut with an axe. And normal mapping doesn't help a bit -_- (only from far)

The cartoonish render (nintendo-render or whatever) of your chest is the way we can today have low-poly models. And I guess that's why Blizzard chose that kind of render.

But of course it was not a NEGATIVE critic, your work is pretty awesome, I couldn't do the tenth regarding textures (or maybe by spending days and days).

A simple example : the wooden planks. The junction (in the texture) between each does not fit with the angles of your model, which gives a weird result that I could be the only one to notice because I am too demanding or used to modeling.

It's always interesting to talk about that, even though I consider that focusing on textures as developers have been doing for years now is slowing down the evolution of gaming.
I may be wrong, too ^^

By the way, thanks for your free models
