delete the polygons at the bottom of the model. Those might not be useful and can't be seen in-game.

i don't understand what you mean, what polygons?

 

[eubz]

these polygons at the bottom of the model

First doodad, not bad !

 

[wester]

thnx for all the positive comments guys;D

well i could reduce the poly count if i made the wooden log have a cuboid shape instead of a cylinder one but then it would look too simple and probably ugly=/

the log shape does not matter as long the texture is wrapped right and the model looks crispy, ingame you can't tell unless there's a close-up

hmm...you do have a point...maybe i could upload as a portrait a version of the wooden log wall with cuboid shape for those who want a lower poly count wall?

 

[rcshaggy]

It could be used for a little base or some port, or who knows what.

your decision

 

[SpectreD]

looks very good for a first model well done

with creativity and imagination it can be used as anything;D

your decision

well i was actually asking for your opinion but oh well ill upload as portrait a version with lower poly count soon

looks very good for a first model well done

thnx!!

Don't delete the polys at the bottom of the model, if for some reason it was used as a platform or such it would hurt it, or if it were elevated, honestly I think the extra 24 polys or however many it would give you doesn't make much of a difference in file size.

I like the textures you used btw. Poly count isn't bad neither is the size.

yeah i was thinking the same thing for the polys at the bottom but i have to redo the model to bring those back so meh *_*
i was randomly looking at the textures in the wc3 mpq when i noticed that texture and i was suprised nobody bothered to make a wall out of it so i did
and that's the cons of simple models, low file size and poly count;D

Riotz, who would be mental enough to use upside-down log wall instead of something that LOOKS like a platform?

If you want a platform, use a platform model. Having polys at the bottom of a ground model is mostly a waste in my opinion.

Hehe, you're certainly not the first one using this texture for a wooden wall. But for a first model it's nice.
If you want to make a low poly version that should still look round from afar, make it pentagonal or triangular not quadrangular.

 

[eubz]

I also made one but decided not to upload it in here. I placed it in my FTM.

well we used the same texture but atleast the uv mapping is different

A terrainer, like myself?
