    here is my improved version of my progress of making it low-poly. it needs more work but does it at least look better?

    Im trying to make it less boxy (like a car/quad). so it will take lots of time

    Do you use any image references? If you just started 3D modeling, then I would say after a year of constant practicing you should get much better at it. Practicing texturing is also important, since simply applying an image to a 3D model is not always sufficient, especially for more complex 3D models.

    I do... rarely. for this one I did not. actually. that is a insane help. thanks so much! are you going to consider this model sometime??? once its very good?

    and I have a question. how do you *make* textures? how do you get a specific texture for something? like for the car in this game. how did you make the texture fit on the car perfectly and where did you get the textures?

    For texturing, you need to learn a technique called "UV Mapping", also known as UV unwrapping. It is used to control how the texture is applied to the model's surface.

    To make a texture for a 3D model you can either take bits from different pre-made textures or paint your own textures. Most of the time, combining existing textures is the way to go (ex. Glass texture for glass parts, metal texture for metal parts, etc.), but the key is to have it all combined into a single image, that way the model is more efficient and is ready to be used in games.

    I know how UV mapping works. should I start UV mapping it then finish it or continue working on it. it feels ready just I need to know when its ready. also you didn't respond to my "will you consider this model sometime?". if you aren't going to add it I will finish it right now after mapping it.

    I already have boat and Jet Ski models, so I do not need any.

    also max, could you possibly help me with getting textures? and can you explain how to texture this kind of UV thing?

    the more vehicles the better right? why can't you add my model? maybe during testing perhaps? just to try it out? I really want a hoverbike in the game

    And others want other things... so if you don't want to turn into another oblivious npc also accept maxs decisions. If you want to maybe see it in the game, work on it, improve the things, posts the results, maybe when its done max might reconsider. But don't ask for it to be in the game every time... because than it might get annoying and than nobody listens anymore.

    I’m not going to be turning into antonnvik. It’s just that I had a giant hope for it because max kept on telling me to improve it so I thought he wanted me to improve it to get it ready for the game. That’s all. And I do accept max’s things
