@Fabi_G thanks for the feedback! The lighting is all baked with lightmass. I've seen that fairly exaggerated bounce lighting is the key to stylized lighting, but in my project I had to tone it down a little because the bounced lighting would be very aggressive in some parts of the map. Regarding your comments about blurry…
Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to finally unveil my completed game environment! This is a small-scale reimagining of the iconic Roundtable Hold from Elden Ring. My goal was to improve and demonstrate my skills. I introduced archways with statues (inspired by the original concept art), as well as a grand staircase with a runner…
Hi, I have an asset I created in Maya and is textured with a trim sheet in Maya. I took the asset in zbrush as well to add some damage and cracks and then tried to bake it on the low poly in substance painter. When I bake in painter, the baking is all over the place. If I go back to Maya and just layout my UV's instead of…
Hi everyone. At one point I was under the impression that tri's mattered so it was best to watch your tri count. Now we've been working in a game for Unity for a few momnths now and it's come to our attention that Verts are the counter you really want to look out for. NOW, just recently we did some number crunching to find…
Hey polycounters, I had two questions (I'm pretty new to ambient occlusion maps and optimizing by creating tris). I got a quick overview of how to do AO maps in 3DS Max (set the renderer to MR, Render to Texture, and create an AO map from there). I was curious about other techniques that you guys use to create your AO…
I've watched two tutorials that don't mention anything about trimming/cutting fibermesh hair. I've tried creating a mask then hitting delete and it does not work. I watched this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEXJMSPikko - Which clearly did not cover the basics, since I can't even trim and cut the hair. I've…
When you import a model into an engine all quads are converted to tris. when a quad is warped the engine will convert it but the conversion might not be edges in the direction you want, or it might not shade properly. So any warped polys should be divided into tris in the direction that helps baking and also shading in the…
Alot of you already know the deal , alot of the ex iron lore guys got together and said they where going to make a awesome game, a few years later to the day we have this awesome game reaching out to all of you asking for that last little push to make it great! Alot of locals on polycount helped this project from the start…
I have noticed that every "professional" modeler do their low poly models in quads only, and I understand why as Zbrush etc. really mess up a triangulated mesh when subdividing. On the contrary most engines translate all models into Tris only, and I have experienced that on a symmetrical character model, the Quads are…
