Challenge #21 Low poly XMAS - Vassago

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Securing my spot right now. I should have something to post before the end of the week.

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Super generic, but I don't care :P
Still got about 30-35 tris to mess with.

adam · Nov 2005

If you make the floor a seperate piece you'll save yourself some Triangles. Maybe with the saved triangles you could build a firepoker and other fire-poker-like tools.

I like it.

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Well, I'm building it as though it was a game asset. You wouldn't want to do that to the floor, since the vert lighting would be pretty dang funky

I am building a fire poker set, though. It's going to be alpha'ed, on the cylindar in front of the fireplace.

you could save 8 or 9 polygons on your split mantle

I did that so that I could mirror the fireplace & mantle to get more texture space for other things.

I see you've updated the challenge as well.....I was nearly done with the textures for mine too.

Doh.

FIRE HAZARD!!!

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Well crap. I was already 75% done texturing my scene, before hawken decided to change the rules. I'm just going forward as-is, with a 256x256 texture. Oh well.

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Like I said, the texture is now wrong (thanks, hawken :P ), but oh well.

yay.

cholden · Nov 2005

That's classy. Good work, Vassago, looking forward to your final textures if you decided to upgrade them.

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2005

Wouldn't really be an upgrade. I have to somehow slice that 256 into 4 128's. Basically having to remap and retexture it

MoP · Nov 2005

Vassago, you don't have to re-texture it if you do something like what I did with my Polycountville entry.
Just make a duplicate of the current model, make new UV's, then use Render to Texture (with antialiasing and stuff like that all turned off) to render the original texture onto the new UV's. Should work like a charm!

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2005

I'll give that a try, MoP. Hopefully it won't jack the tex quality that much.

tokidokizenzen · Dec 2005

I think it's swell even at that texture res.

You do still have time though to redo do it at a higher res

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2005

Higher res???? It's the same, really :P
I decided to redo it to fit the 'modified' specs. Lost some texture res in areas, but looks pretty similar overall.

Hawken - if possible, please do not change the challenge rules/specs once posted. It's really annoying to go back and redo things you've already done. Thanks

MoP · Dec 2005

Nice work Vassago... looks awesome

My one suggestion would be to add more shadow to the layers of the tree, I think it'd give it more depth - the tree itself is looking very flat right now. Might also help to shuffle verts around in the tree too, just to make it seem a bit more natural.

hawken · Dec 2005

turned out awsome!

(rules got changed because of something someone brought up that made sense... before the challenge officially started (today)!

)

ElysiumGX · Dec 2005

that's really good. wow.
uninterpolated pixels make these things look so nice.

adam · Dec 2005

haha I just noticed Santa coming down the chimney.
Josh you're silly.

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2005

TURKEY!

Hawken, damn. I just noticed that. My bad! I was a bit too early :P

hawken · Dec 2005

seeing your entry makes me want a DS homebrew kit!!

CMB · Dec 2005

Right by the blue blue box,look at the left side of the box.
It's green...

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2005

lolz...thx. I'll fix that

When I swapped the Uv's for the RTT function, some were a bit screwy still.

Sage · Dec 2005

Looks sweet!

Alex

BoBo_the_seal · Dec 2005

As usual that kicks ass Josh!

ScoobyDoofus · Dec 2005
