Re: UDK Prefabs vs Unity Prefabs
iirc UDK meshes DO share materials and meshes (so there are memory savings) but they aren't 'instanced meshes'...as in, they are not 'batched' and drawn together in fewer draw calls on the graphics card like say, the UDK foliage is. If that's truly what Unity's prefabs do, then that's pretty badass. Prefabs in UDK are more… -
Re: Ok, seriously though (Biped curves?)
If you need to use Biped, just forget about the Curve Editor. It just doesn't support it very well, and TCB curves aren't human readable anyway. Biped doesn't support Out-Of-Range curves either, so that's out. However Biped has many benefits. 1. It's dead easy to setup. Just size it to your character. 2. The copy/paste… -
Re: Low poly coffin
The 2.5D snaps are useful to relatively align a vert selection with some other vert outside the selection. Like along a xy, yz, zx plane but not all three axis at once. 1. Turn on 2.5D snap - make sure vertex is checked on in the snapping options, it helps to turn off most of the other snaps as well. I usually just left… -
Re: Torchlight 2 - Steam Workshop Thread
not really, just kept kinda with the Torchlight 1 weapon polycounts, plus some more since there has been time since the last game. May need to go in and optimize some. As far as pivots, scales, etc - I probably got everything wrong, but will fix it once i get it in. They have a link to some sample content that i'll run my… -
Re: UT2004 - MakeShift Vehicles!!
That's a great looking vehicle. I am going to say that the textures in 2k4 were about 512 for characters, so for the boat I would say try for 512, but if that seems to confining start at 1024 then resize if it's too big. You can always find out by opening up the unreal editor however. Also I can't see it by looking at it,… -
Post Apocalyptic Checkpoint Environment (Critique Welcome!)
Hey all! I recently decided to pivot my career in the direction of prop and environment art, instead of focusing exclusively on props. I found this concept by Maciej Kuciara that I absolutely loved. It seemed simple, approachable, and had room for me to put my own spin on things. I've never worked on an environment before,… -
Creating Team Fortress 2 weapon in Maya 2010
Alright I am trying to create a melee weapon in Maya 2010. I have all the programs. I can import/export smd files. But here is the road block I am running into. When I try to compile with GUIStudioMDl I get the ERROR: cannot find bone weapon_bone for bbox I have skinned the model I made to the single bone joint called… -
When and Why to form an LLC?
Hi everyone! So, I have a question for all of the freelancers, company owners, and others who are off doing their own thing. When and Why did you or don't you form an LLC? I've been freelancing f/t (or close to) since late 2013 or so. I've been doing it as a Sole Proprietor, or independent contractor if you will. I don't… -
Maxscript - Probably a simple fix
Dear Polycount, Greetings! I am new to the ranks and have a quick question for any Maxscript pros out there. This is probably a simple fix and I am just missing something. The Effect: The effect that I have been charged with creating is a sort of card flipping visual you commonly see at sporting events where each person… -
Re: Thompson strikes again
I am seriously considering making this game. Not jumping on the "oh wouldn't it be cool" bandwagon here; I really am thinking about doing it. No plot twists, no hidden insults, just good 'ole Thompson-designed chaos to the letter. I'm already running through how to realistically put it together in my mind. I've got a code…
