Do my eyes deceive me or is that the EXACT same "Data link" text as in TF2?

 

[LeSwordfish]

I think theyre the same font (it's damn uncanny), but only because its a fairly bland font. Maybe the tf2 one is a bit more rounded?

 

[Seba]

I don't think that the TF2 one is as bold as the one above. But they might be in the same font.

Wait, what?! I had no idea those had been textured. Good work Boylee.

The white posts look too white; I thought it was just AO bake when I first saw the image.

Is that normal mapping I see on the lid? :O

Also, I would recommend modifying the envelopes from having a static thickness to tapering to an edge, so they look more like real paper stuffed with other papers. Right now they look more like plastic tiles.

 

[Sgt Frag]

mailboxes look good, but yeah, maybe chipped white paint with wood pokin' through.

 

[tyler]

I like that the envelopes look like that. It gives them dimension.

 

[Prestige]

at the expense of them not looking like envelopes. :|

looks great though. love stuffed mailboxes.

full of cheques from valve

 

[tyler]

Bermuda Cake is right. They just look full.

Sometimes I feel like there's a lot of nitpicking done here for the sake of making a comment.

These are good, Rexy. I like what you do.

Yeah still working on the posts, they don't actually look quite so bland in HLMV it's just the angle in those shots. I will make them a bit more varied though.

Is that normal mapping I see on the lid? :O

Nope, just some clever texturing.
Not sure I could justify a normal map for such a small detail prop.


Also, very nice Rexy, is that a custom intel model by any chance?

 

[tyler]

I was thinking it was more some kind of PC tower to go with his monitors.

 

[Seba]

I'd have to agree with yyler here; it doesn't seem like intel to me.

 

[Dragonstorm24]

it looks like a short wave radio with a suitcase handle

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Agreeing with the rest here, not intel, but either way, its really good looking...

I should probably go finish up learning how to model soon.... *ponders*
