How's this for my models?

Well, I'm not that fond of making Cheato look older than he should be because I was going for how he looked in Banjo-Kazooie, which also explain the page clumps.


Anyway, if you want me to add more pages, that's fine, but before I do that, do you want the page clumps still in there? Also, I can even even smooth out the cover edges if that's what you want.

As for applying a bump map, since I'm not too good with textures yet, I'm not very sure how I can do that effectively. I heard that there's this program called Bodypaint 3D. Is that good for doing advanced textures and does it work for Maya and Mac?

Well the thing is, I'd rather you not go for *exactly* how he looked in that game. I'm not telling you that trying to learn to make art look a certain is a bad thing in anyway.But in this case it seemed like you were doing sort of a remake and was under the impression that you wanted it to have a more advanced level of detail. Things like sharp edges and plain textures sort of detract from that.

As for something like the page clumps, its fine to have those, but they should be more detailed like there ARE more pages. Solid colors make that area look weird. The lack of pages in the center of the spine looks odd too. If its not animated too much you could just combine those two sections of pages carefully and be good, but if it is animated it may be to clumpy.
