Re: Dark Elf Ranger Drizzt Redesign.
Sure and I agree I can definitely add some more interest to the pants and cloak. The fur is fibermesh, I created the pelt shape I wanted (deleted it after I created the fur) I then sectioned the pelt into many different polygroups of approximately the same-ish size, I believe I did this quickly using zmodeler and inseting… -
Re: Tips on making the transition from Max to Maya
You probably want Split Polygon tool, the Cut tool in Maya is the same as Max's "Slice Plane", while the Split Polygon tool is the same as Max's "Cut" ... confusing, eh? My advice is to set up hotkeys to be closer to Max-style ones, also get used to using marking menus more, they're pretty fast (ctrl+rightclick to convert… -
Re: Making Crystal , help
This might end up being too complicated, but similar to how many people create rocks. I once took a base mesh, and applied a semi noisy image as a displacement map, and baked that out to polygons. This gave me a lot of extra polygons in strange places that I then start collapsing semi-randomly until I got to a point where… -
Re: Texturing levels..
Thanks for the links guys. Vig, those first ones are great.. I was trying to figure out how to tile textures like that. The modular level ideas has me thinking.. But in a low poly game for iPhone, would it be a great idea? For example. If I have a long corridor, each side of the wall could just be 2 polygons with a single… -
Re: Low poly diver
Mhhmmm, wings 3d's UV thingie is kinda confusing (As are all to me) but I might be able to make a decent UV if I try. The model is simple, 192 polygons to be exact. (But the fucker took me forever because I started from scratch 8 or so times.) I'm also thinking about getting rid of the legs in favor for some different… -
Re: Mega man redux UDK level
I've got to agree. I don't know if you intend to make Wiley's castle a playable level or just render it as a portfolio or showpiece in UDK, but I'm seeing a lot of wasted and excessive polygons. The bone tops and the skull look particularly wasteful. You could optimize and cut out a lot of polygons and still retain the… -
3d anime character. Need feedback!
Hey-hey poly people. I am working on a character in anime style. I am planning to make it look as hand drawn as possible, my direction for style is mostly "Jujutsu kaisen" and "Chainsaw Man" anime titles. A little bit about workflow: it is directionless now, so expect a massive amount of triangles on a screen.I do mostly… -
Re: How to optimize big repetitive object - like rails
You may not need that amount of polygons for many static objects as you would be passing by them pretty fast I'm assuming. It might be worth it to also further optimize the meshes and rely more on stronger normals to push the features. They player would be seeing it a rate of a blur and also be more focused on staying on… -
Re: Skinning help for 3ds Max?
There are several things at play here. It's not 3DSMax. Firstly, shoulders are a bitch. They are a complicated system with several muscle groups which push the flesh around. The mesh density - do you have enough polygons to support the deformation? Do you have too many polygons? Yes, this is an issue, there is a balance.… -
Re: Do engines end up rendering what we can't see?
just for comparison from film you need about 40-60k for a head to get the kind of facial deformation that look believable at close distance. thats still a ways off. and so is the facial systems to do that in real time. but i get your point. i think things are right about at the point where the choppy polygon look is no…
