yeee haw - cow boy hat

[mindless_moder]

this is not for the yee haw mod or anything just something i modeled and skinned i want c&c on the skin its fora 3d contest im entering .
i noticed there was a fair deal of texture stretching on the rims if u can tell me wht other places it is then i can fix it

 

[mindless_moder]

the second pic im trying to make the hat look tattered up .

 

[Xtasy0]

make the middle a bit higher, it doesnt look right.

 

[mindless_moder]

well hmmm...wht bout the texture ?.

 

[Wraith]

i agree the middle is too small, the texture is ok but it really just looks solid brown, i would addsome scratches and stuff to it

 

[mindless_moder]

i worked on the texture and the height wht do u think now ?

better, but its too curved, like the middle should be a bit higher, and it shouldnt curve out so much, cowboy hats come to a 90 degree angle at the bottom of the middle portion.

like that.

 

[mindless_moder]

that bit was purposely done i want it to be like curved like that till the end but i think the height was a problem thanks im still working on the texture and u will see updates here btw if any mod wants this after im done its only some 3000 polys i can lower it down as well

 

[mindless_moder]

ladies and gentlemen i give u zee cow boy hat.

ok i worked on it for a while now tweaking the textures and i finally got rid of the icky texture stretching wht do u guys think ? i still have to model a string on top .

better.

wht do u mean ? better? wht wrong now i need this to be perfect.

There are typically indentations in the side of the hat (though not always as severe as in Wraith's picture) and the place where the string goes looks too curved on your model.

 

[mindless_moder]

i dont know i like it curved if a lot of people comment on it ill change it but thats just one of my design options i imagined it like that

 

[Wraith]

well even if you like it that way, whoever judges it will think you ****ed it up.

 

[mindless_moder]

lol ok ill put that on my to do list thanks anything else wht do u think of the new texture?

 

[Wraith]

the testure is a million times better, all it needs now is to be less curved at that one spot, add a string thingie on there and maybe put a little indent like in my pic (not as huge though)

 

[mindless_moder]

will do thanks to all who helped me hope i win

 

[Private Snafu]

Just to clarify everything, he's not working in my mod. (But I wish he wuz' ;P)

 

[mindless_moder]

whats ur mod about and why would they think im working for u ? u like it ?

 

[Private Snafu]

it's a mod about the wild west.
that cowboy haydoes look pretty cool.

 

[SidewinderX]

Soemthing looks off... nice sckin, but there seems like therees something in to model thats off a bit...

 

[mindless_moder]

yeah i know wht u mean i think its the angle tho it iwill look better when i put it on my character.

editrivate snafu u can have the hat after im done if u like.(i said so before)

 

[Private Snafu]

Well, you can be on the mod team if you like (i'm also a modeller and it looks like you could give me some pointers about skinning and such).

 

[mindless_moder]

sorry i cant join ur mod or any other for that matter im already in a mod

 

[mindless_moder]

ok a lil update i made a 3d/2d composite the land and the building and all is a 3d model which i made to fit in with a picture of a real hat that i had
