I made my two pieces with 16 facets instead of 8.
Just experimenting to see how much better or worse this is than the lower poly 8 facets. Also, I figure it will make me think about it a bit more. I mainly plan to use blender for unity asset creation and maybe some ‘rendered’ promo images.
I’m trying all the pieces in single file, but I’m saving a separate file for each piece, just in case I need to separate them.
Also, I took opened my reference image in paint.net and made the background transparent. I left all the pieces in a single reference image and I slide it on the Y axis until the piece I’m currently working on lines up.
