Lots of dx9 shimmer, contact us as others to eliminate the shimmer, tx

Large file sizes are usually because of textures. In this model JackRed has done everything in polygons and shaders, so the model has a high polycount but low file size. A model with many individual images as textures will have a large file size. You can control this by fitting all those diffrent images into one texture map. To do this you have to create and arrange your UV’s then combine all the images in photoshop using a UV snapshot as your guide.

smike has big plans… :)

Agree that texture files cause file size problems, I stick with embedded colors although the right way to do it is with DDS (Direct Draw Surface Technology) and free DDS plugins for PhotoShop and Gimp are available on the web.

Yes but why do it with PS or Gimp when we can do it just with Max or Blender :p

great guitar model jackred!

thx sandman :)
that was the first guitar model i made :p

I love it when people call me sandman:D
