1 - Please Don't use .JPG's. Confused

2 - Nice work! I'm liking what you've done, here. Smile

Your normal map is great, right on the money there. C&C3 textures rely mostly on normal and spec maps...diffuse maps really aren't quite as important as those.

Your spec map though needs work. Look at some of the C&C3 spec maps and see how EA used them. For the most part they highlighted the edges more than the rest of it...although really they just exaggerated what was already in the diffusemap.

Would you mind posting the diffuse map as well? I can't comment too well on it without seeing it.

I do want to praise you for not falling into common conventions, which is to throw on a huge 512x512 map. Sooo many people do it and its just overkill. All of the ones that I've made for MEC2 are at 512x512, but made with it in mind to be downresed to 256 (which is the standard resolution for almost everything in our screens [the abrams uses a 256x512 though]).

The UVMAP seems good, with little wasted space.

The model has a VERY common issue with those in C&C3 mods...you modeled in the wheels. Look at the unit at ingame height, just how often do you truly even see them well? Are they worth the absurd amounts of polies it takes? Look at all of EA's models, that is why they all use side-skirts. #Tongue
