My UVW work is improving!

It's probably just going to be a 1x1 bunker thingy.
The point of this is actually to show how my UVW-ing is getting better.

It looks like a crate box. Very Happy

Well it depends which kind of texture you used.
Is it a 3d, 2d or a composite texture as each have a different difficulty?
The 3dsmax 3d noise and other textures don't need UVW maps due to their nature being 3d textures.
A single 2D texture would be quite easy, as you can simply apply a box UVW map.

A composite map is the most difficult one (imo) as it uses different Map channels on the same material while each different texture uses one of the channels, which also need to be set for each polygon.

There are also mix maps which are used to combine 2 different textures. E.g. a text-texture put on a metal-texture.

Reminds me of Doom for some reason #Tongue

Also, why use such high-res texture when it ends up so small?

Looks good. Add a door and a window.

Why not? I make/use my custom 1024x1024 textures a lot.

Larger textures mean

-more detail to choose from, if you are using a small part of it for a face
-more potential for use; flexibility for both huge and puny objects
-individual small pixels or such which may not look good are barely visible in the end

@Palkia
Keep up the good work, now use something a little more complex :p

Thanks everyone! I used 3ds and Photoshop. That's it. Its a flat image with UVW applied. It's not composite or anything. Just a regular image uvw. I'll eventually make it into a useful shape.
