So... a friend asked if I was going to try path tracing and I thought it might be interesting to have a look. After a LOT of tweaking values/settings/TDR setup I think I'm going to give up on it. I just can't get it to stop crashing the GPU. I lowered the settings, lowered the image resolution and still get crashes. It…
I made a little trim and decal sheet, nothing crazy. I more wanted to test that they were compatible with my layered material system. I also quickly modelled a side table and a wall mounted monitor. I was given some good advice about the RGB and ID masks (ID mask can be way lower res and also the RGB masks can be lower res…

Currently we are in need of talented texture artist and concept artist, as well as one experienced GUI designer with some knowledge of C#. Target aim:Commercial…
"Texture first, model second" is an extremely powerful workflow and it looks like a perfect fit for this unfiltered style. I've been playing Boltgun and Slave Zero X lately, both using this Saturn-like look to great effect and I am loving the crisp visual clarity that comes from it. These models look great. Looking forward…

It's not that it isn't satisfying, so much, more just that from what I imagine, I imagine it needing a little more power and control. The way you imagine this guy moving around might be completely different from the way I envision this guy moving, and if it makes sense in your head - then by all means proceed as planned…
[ QUOTE ] The GS is a buget card, thats why dude. Its cheap for a reason. It scored so bad in some mags that they had to put a "N/A" onthe frame rate, even in games like NFS:MW. [/ QUOTE ] Do you have any idea what you are really talking about? The 6800GS got very high marks. Especially when overclocked. Just from one of…
Hi I need some advice/pointers on how best to approach torn fabric and fabric strands for games. I'm currently making a ragged robe asset for an enemy, so there's going to be plenty of rips and tears over it. This isn't something I've done before, so I just want to make sure I'm going to approach this right. :) I have the…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
Yeah sure Xeno the world is going down - but I dont think that gamedevs are to feel bad because they dont have a 'plan 2' or something. Or maybe you think that critical thinking and problem solving skills are useless in the current world we live in ? For some reason I tend to think that an intelligent, well rounded physics…
