Real life poly budgets

You can totally see the polys in this bridge!

whoever built the bridge hit the limit. maybe weren't meant to be looking this close

anyone seen any more examples in real life?

Ha that is awesome. Now I am going to be looking for this stuff. I swear I just saw something like this recently....

What are you talking about, that bridge arch is completely smooth... I think you guys need to lay off the coffee.





;P !

Edges are a little too hard, and you can clearly see the tiling texture.:poly124:

Skillmister

Needs more bevels.

Not enough dirt.

hilarious i passed this when we were in vegas in sep and its exactly what i thought lol

Chunkey

Needs an AO map and bits of concrete broken off with the internal structure showing through... To make it more realistic

Autocon

All bridges have graffiti on them, this one doesn't. It look SO fake.

Muzzoid

God damn poly brudgets.

YOUR BRIDGE IS MUFF CABBAGE!


its a jersey thing.

Andreas

That is never gonna bake out right.

Zepic

Needs more brevels.

Andreas

That's clearly a next-gen console shot because the hardware is 16 years old.

Wow what a coincidence. I was thinking about this today. When UP was active we had a thread where we would post pictures of real-life scenes and rip them apart lol... I was going to start one here sometime this week when I found a good example.

Yeah, that's the thing we have to remember when making stuff. Often, things that appears round, isn't really, like for example you see a curved building with windows. its not really curved, but a lot of sections (edges) which is angled different with each step.

Like this one is curved (well, the brick sized curved):



While this one just appear curved, each section turned a little. It's not like the glass is curved or anything, its a flat piece:

Too many wasted polygons... optimize ¬¬

LRoy

doesn't even have any battle damage

is this from a ps1 game?

Pedro Amorim

you can see the tiling on that brick texture

Norron

Awful seam on the edges too. Should have painted out the lighting.
