Can you put the models on Steam workshop?

@diaperand  
No problem, I like being able to help others with things like this. A lot of this stuff I wished someone could have told me when I was first starting out. I’m glad to help.
 
Also, one other thing. You should take a look at some of these videos. They’re about topology and should be pretty useful in helping keep your meshes clean. You should definitely watch at least the first one. It talks about tris, quads, poles and N-Gons and how/when/why to use them. It may be long but topology is really important, especially when you’re modeling things meant for games and animations.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Yes some areas were more detailed than others, since I made some parts bigger in the UV editor, so that more of the space available was used. Ctrl-A did fix the issue though. And the video was very informative. :)
 
Also just a quick thanks for taking the time to write these descriptions. Your comments often touch upon issues I hadn’t even noticed, as well as how to fix them, which is awesome.

You should add another seam around the inside of the tail hole. It looks like you intended to separate them, but the back left/right are connected to the inside parts. Add the seam around the tail hole so that it’s near the top but not easily visible with the frills. It’ll reduce some of the stretching on your UV map. You also might want to remove the seam splitting the left/right sides. It’s up to you really. It’ll create a bit more stretching, but it’ll eliminate the seam in the texture running down the back too.
 
There’s a couple things you can do to see if your unwrap is stretched. In the UV Editor, on the properties tab to the left, (n if it’s not there) at the bottom there’s a check box labeled ‘stretch’. Angle will show how accurately the angles of the faces are in relation to the model, and area will show how accurate the area of each face is in relation to the others. Another way to see it is to create a UV grid texture and look at that on the model. The squares will be a clear indicator of any stretching.
 
Getting rid of stretching can be pretty important. If you’re planning to have a detailed texture with designs and things on them, you’ll definitely want to make sure you have minimal stretching. But you also want to have as few seams as possible, so you need to balance the two (what you have is just fine).
 
You also have some minor texture scaling issues (I think that’s what it’s called). Equal texture scaling is basically the idea that all your sections should occupy the same relative texture space. So, you don’t want one area to be higher resolution than another. To fix this, just select everything in the UV editor and hit ctrl+a.
 
This video goes over pretty much everything I just said. Most of it you probably know already, but there’s some really useful information in it. I’d also recommend taking a look at the other tutorials on that site.

@kng_bowser  
Thank you!
 
That really means a lot to me :)

this series is amazing, great job mate :3

@diaperand  
you got it.

@Joshua  
Well let’s work on it tomorrow then, and hope we can get it uploaded properly.

@diaperand  
It’s kind of both.

@Joshua  
I thought you just said you were going to do it :P
 
Or did you mean if I couldn’t, you would?
 
In any case, I’ll give it one final try tomorrow (which usually means devoting as much time as it takes until it’s uploaded or I crash from lack of sleep), so if you’re available, I’d appreciate the help, otherwise I’ll try to make due on my own. :3

@diaperand  
Not rushing you, but you really should. ;)

@Joshua  
…because I couldn’t upload to the workshop xD

@diaperand  
I don’t see much of anything on it, but thanks for the link. How come there isn’t any Workshop inventory in there?

Now this one I can freely give out.

Don’t expect to get any messages from me on there though, I rarely go on it :P

@diaperand  
What is your new steam account? I may have to upload it through my alternate steam account; I have a PC at my dad’s house that has the Workshop Publisher.

@Joshua  
Go ahead :)
 
I was having repeated trouble with publishing it anyway. I also didn’t want to publish it under my personal account, so I had to make a new Steam account that I had to keep switching back and forth between, which ended up becoming quite a hassle.
 
I give the blender/obj/source files out so people can take this model and tweak it however they like, so feel free to upload it. Just make sure to credit me somewhere :P

I know you’re havong trouble publishing it on the Steam workshop but if you are, may I publish it there?
