I think it looks good. It's really up to you about putting dents on it. I think this looks like the EP4 version if anything. It seems as the movies went on the quality of everything got better and better. This looks like the first EP4 rough version. And the materials are excellent.

Cool,

Yeah I really like the look of R2 in EP4, especially in the opening scenes; all dings and dents in him, and you notice them even more in the DVD releases!

It is amazing how much dirt and imperfections you can see now on/in R2 which were never really visible before in the video formats.

And as I see it, if you are going to spend a lot of your time with your head sticking out of the top of an Xwing your gonna get all dirty and banged up wink

I want to do (maybe) a couple of versions of textures for R2, one really dirty and worn, and another not so, more towards the R2 seen in the Cloud city in EPV.

happy

Wiz.

Ps - Re: the coffee stain hehe, I think that is actually in the reflection map I am using, will check when I get home tonight as it does stick out a bit doesnt it :P

Wow... I know you're being humble Wiz, but this is some awesome work!
The detail (to me) is excellent. Again, Can't wait for the end result.

Wow, very nice texturing work, except this reflection map. Have you tried using HDRI? you can really tell the difference

Thanks fellas,

I am quite suprised by how well it's turning out, considering my texturing skills were not what I considered my strongest point, but by the looks of things I'm getting better wink

Not really messed with HDRI, hmmmm, will have to look more into that me thinks, thanks for the suggestion happy

Well I wont get a chance to post any updates till the weekend I'm afraid, but hopefully should be the rest of him done, then back onto finally finishing the corridor...

Then wot next, many many many things i want to get onto, might try and dig out my old MECH mesh and finish him finally... a render attached just for amusement and something to look at other than me blurbing on hehe happy

Think tho I might have lost him when my HDD went down several months ago, but sure I have him somewhere in an email sent home.

Anyway thats me for tonight, more soon happy

Wiz

Yep done and doing more on the dome, want him to look real banged up, so think I have finally lost that new shiny look wink

Comments as ever more than welomed happy

Hmmmm you could just be right, will check it out happy

A brief update, not had chance to do much just lately but had a crack at texturing the body (front side), so here it is, wot ya thinks?

http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=r2bodytexturewip6ud.jpg

Ooh its prob also worth noting I totally rebuilt his body, and also reworked a lot of the leg (leg not in render), as I found many faults with my mesh (as it was done sometime ago now lol) when I was preparing the mapping for texturing.

Cheers,

Wiz.
