3D Animator / Tech Artist (Freelance) Hi there. We're a vibrant, rapidly growing developer of story-driven software entertainment. Our first adventure game was very well received, and we're looking to finish up our second! As we prepare our game for market, we’re looking for the superstar visual storytellers of tomorrow to…
Breakdown Interior Assets In this post I will give a short breakdown on how the creation of an interior Asset was done for this project. First, environment assets are split into different areas, areas that use material layering for texturing and areas that don’t. For the door below, the blue areas are shaded by using…
for rendering... looking at cinebench benchmarks will probably be most revelant. Every machine I have owned put together in a renderfarm does not equal the power of my personal machine. ( 12 heavily overclocked water cooled i7-980x threads ) which still renders 20% better at stock speeds than a 2600k and is only 10% slower…
Welcome! It's looking good, I really like the concept nicely done! a.) I see a lot of welded mesh, which chunks up the tri count. Make sure to count tris because polys can have many triangles and at the end of the day most engines are counting tris. It depends on what engine and workflow you are doing but quite a few…
I'm trying to get a bit more speed out of my computer without too much investment and thought I would get more then my 2 GB ram. My problem is that I can't quite figure out what they mean about the max ram for the motherboard. Its either that it can only have 2 gb ram or 2gb ram in each of the two slots. Wlso what kind of…
Hi, I am really litle bit confused now, how works together Mesh LODs with Texture/Lightmap Mipmaps. I will try explain my problem, but first I tell, what I understand under these terms. 1.0 - Mipmaps in short are textures with different sizes and are "auto generated" by engine if are not defined in texture file (only DDS…
Hi ya good people of polycount! Thought I'd start a thread now that I got this project done. I'm really bad at documenting my progress as I go but I'll try to include the most important milestones here. I'll kick off with a few 3DO renders. The initial idea was to just model an interesting object and then call it done. I…

Here is a bit of code in C# for a quasi Active Reload in Unity3D. Put this on an object in the scene and run. Can be used for anything that requires timing, use your imagination ;) . More code for stuff on the way. using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;//There are many ways to skin a cat, this is my way. Hopefully it…
keep in mind with unreals auto generate lightmap uvs, its not actually doing an unwrap, its taking the UVs from channel 1 and repacking them at a consistent texel density. so if you have stitched/overlapping stuff going on in channel 1 it will carry over to your lightmap and you will get that overlap error. you can do a…
