Ok Springheel i will try to reach that barrier, i worked a litle more on the model and it is now at 800 polys but i see that i have more room to take more out, i´m taking polys fixing the UVW at the same time and trying not to trash the normal map. I will not post more this night so cheers guys. Finaly a think is finishid , it have now 600 polys and i made a new uvw and normal map here is a render for you guys to see. Hope you like it. Cheers.

Hello guys here is a new image of the model with less specular and even less polys in the image above the polys were 2900, i´m used to make models only for rendering so i didn´t saw that the model had to much polys, in the new it rest at 1030 polys, if it is still to many i will try to take more but that will sacrifice a litle the roundness of the model and trash the uvw.

Guys sorry for the delay in posting my progress i was a litle busy and couln´t work in the model nor post in this forum. Making the normal map for the brazier with the ATI normalmaper tool was no go, so i decided to make it by hand, here is a wings3d render with the normalmp, if it is good to you guys i can them send you the model. Brazier_render p.s - Springheel the wiki page only talks about making normal maps for flat surfaces using the renderbumpflat utility that i found realy usefull but i didn´t saw anything about making normal maps for game models from a highpoly version, but this is realy new terrain to me, so is no surprise that my first normal maps using this are bad i will need more time to perfect my skills.

Ok them i would love to be part of the team . About the workflow i did first the low poly and them i started to add more details to make the highpoly version. I´m trying to make the normal map from it by i just can´t seam to make a clean one, i´m using the NormalMapperUI from ATI, i never used it befor all the normal maps i did were made with photoshop, can you guys give me some advise.

Ok i will do many variations of braziers them i will show you guys a wip so you guys can give critics and choose the one you like. Here is the first Wip.

What i gain(not talking about money) if i join as a team-member? , if nothing them i´m just offering my services. About the model that easy do you want a simple rusted look or a brazier full of ornements and gold( for the rich houses).

Yes, give me give me!

So will you guys give me work to do or not .

No problem i already imported models to the doom3 engine i even made a litle map to put the models but i never intended to be a mapper so i never used much the editor. I Can give you guys the models in ASE format and the Material ready to import to game.

Guys i don´t know if you remember me i´m the one that gave a bunch of models in this thread models, i have know time to work in a mod and the one that i loved to work is this one, my modeling skills have improved since i gave that pack to you guys but if you want to give me some sample work just to test my skills you can, i´m not a realy good organic modeler and my texturing skills are a litle green but i will try to do my best to please you guys. I already worked with normalmaping so i will be able to do them. So shout if you need something. Hilário Martins Sample of some non gaming work: Room_GI_lighting_test Render_bike_wheels Scene_render

How can that be? A 9800 pro is more powerfull them a 9600 xt . What processor do you have?

Ok oDDity cool concept them. Yes i agree with you.

Cool model is it the hight poly model or the normal mapped ingame one? And can you show a more lighted pic so i can see all the details. So please forget your grumpy basterd side and grant me this request. please .

I don´t know if ID have the same polici, but any mods made with Source even Total modifications, are propriety of Valve, thats is why they sell the CounterStrike-ConditionZero, CS-Source and the DayOfDefeat-Source games that were mods in the first place.

Not to spoil the fun or anything but IMO you guys even if manage to make the posters you can´t sell them as this is a mod using the Doom3 engine.
