I completed the low poly version of the construction vehicle. I managed to tackle many of the issues that the block-out left me with. I found the block-out was not in the correct scale and this showed mainly when constructing the parts like the wheel arches and the inner cabin of the vehicle.
There are still some minor issues with the wheels not looking authentic but my plan is to normal map high poly tire treads to the low poly model. The scale of the vehicle is there as I used orthographic views to pull the model into scale. I added many details particularly to the inside of the vehicle and added bolts to the wheel rims. As for the poly count I have managed to stay under by 158 tris. I had to do a fair amount of optimisation through deleting unused faces and merging vertices/deleting edges that were not of use.
Overall I'm satisfied with my low poly and I will begin to work on the high poly parts in preparation of the normal map. I look forward to the UV and texturing of this particular asset.
