working on asteroids that well look real

Looks quite real! Nice work!

a new one , i have not reduced the poly count ( 902,000 vertexes 301 MiB ) and not yet made a cmod

-- rendered in Blender




Added after 1 hour 12 minutes:
had some time
a 21 MiB zip with 4k texture and normal with a cmod

Looks very nice, John. I'll test that model today.

You are getting stronger and stronger, on models and textures. Don't stop !

Tested. Now, that's a nice piece of rock !


Really a great "generic" model with character.

It will find a place somewhere in M31 again

Added after 3 minutes 37 seconds:
The old asteroids I have done several years ago are now totally outdated ! They are so dull and unrealistic compared with your model, it's even getting a "problem" to me. I'll have to change most (if not all) of my old models.

the main problem is getting a good looking cmod that is not 100+ meg

i have been trying to keep them to under 12 meg and use a normalmap

but do to the HUGE number of asteroids even at 24 meg for the mesh and textures that i still a LOT of space
then again i have 5 Terabits of storage on the desktop

cmod files of 12 MB is reasonable, in my opinion.

I suggest that you do a few more models like the previous one, with variations in shape, details, and textures.

still in Blender and 4.1 million vertexes

Wow, looks even more realistic!
