Why did it come outta paint, and why is it a jpg? It looks good but paint=fail and making it a tga woulda been much better for resolution. I should chain you up in my closet and make you texture some of my incomplete models for mere raw hot dogs and tap water...

I'm sure he just used paint to quickly overlay the image of the texture over the XSI window image; I don't think he's saying that he made the texture in paint. (You can also see Paint's jpeg export artifact effects on the colored XYZ axis indicators in the XSI window.)

I felt like modelling a U-Boat today, so I did, though I later realised that the references I found were of a Japanese submarine, not a German one...
IJN Type B1 Submarine(Work In Progress - no bow, no stern, no propellers, no periscope, no anti-ship gun, possibly misintepreted geometry on the conning tower):
Wires:
DarthD.U.C.K: Nice texture! The "grunge" and rust on the door works very well.

If it is for SWBF, I sure hope that's a Hi-Poly model to bake Normals off of.

This was a project I was working on a while ago and am still trying to finish up, but am just having issues reducing the number of polys. It is a giant maze I made in Maya.
And here is it textured in Maya:
Hallways:
Finish:

deviss-rex, you are only allowed to post models made by yourself here

woner, that is indeed big
As for poly reduction looking at the second picture, for the cylinders select the polies of the sides of the cylinder (easiest way is with the raycast select) and then got to Polygon/Modify/filter polygons. That should reduce those down nicely.
If you are worried that exporting the whole model will exceed poly limits or what ever then divide the model up. That is what I did for Battle for Republic City.
make a few nulls, as many as makes sense, call them dummyroot1 to dummyrootxxx (do not move the nulls leave them at 0,0,0) then put logical parts of your maze under the different dummyroots. When you go to export just branch select a dummyroot and export nomally. Do this for all the different parts. Then make the odfs for the parts.
Now when you go to put all the bits back into ZE just place all the different bit on the same set of coordinates and it will all fit together nicely. You can give them all the same x,y,z coords by selecting one piece press P and write down the coodinate numbers. Then select the next piece press P again and enter those numbers into the windows. This can also be done by text editing the .wld file if they are on the base layer or the .lyr file if they are on a different one.

@Duck
ya, but in the old 3d thread. I was just excited about finally getting to put something in the thread where all the XSI stuff was going on to see their opinions.
@Frag
thank you for that advice, I'll give it a go and hopefully finish this project.
