Polycount is among the 288,945 most heavily trafficked sites;
The size of the icons represents the amount of traffic. We are the green blurred group of pixels at the bottom left corner of the image, just about 6 icons to the left of the small red "Z" logo (above the blue "4" and directly to the right of that tiny green circular icon) You can't actually see it in this image, you'll… -
The Greatest Of All Time
I've been always inspired by Muhammad Ali, So I've started a cinematic full body approach since that I did try it before. This took me long time to learn new techniques and software, was all about texturing, shading, grooming and look development. Render was done in Arnold Maya with alshaders, XGen Core for all body hair… -
Normal Maps., yay or nay?
We're creating a semi-large-ish sandbox game and the topic of Normal maps has come up. Props be normal mapped as a general rule? What exceptions if any? If normal maps should be used, what resolution would you recommend? Also, what about Parallax Mapping and all that new stuff? The player is meant to be able to build,… -

Multiple textures in one image file - pages of a book
So i've been wondering, would it be possible to take 3 (maybe 4 with the alpha channel) greyscale images and pack them all into seperate color channels then load the texture by color channel? I'm working on making interactive comics for VR, where you can turn the pages by hand, however the texture maps are huge, I was… -
Re: RESOLVED: Why does my material look different based on view angle?
Thank you Rexo. I shoudl have thought about the reflection spheres I have in this scene. I could have simply tuned them off and baked again but I guess I got so focused on the material and lighting being the main culprit. Interesting note on the build in fresnel attribute with a PBR shader. Makes sense since the physical… -
Re: What's going on with this shading and how do I fix it ?
It's not a path tracing issue since painter doesn't path trace and it's not exhibiting the artefacts. There is something wrong with the way the mesh and texture normals are interacting with the lighting. This could be down to the assets or it could just be that the renderer / shader are shit. My first test would be to… -
Re: Difficult animation.
I've always heard animating a cat or a horse can both be really fucking hard. There was a story about a pixar animator that got hired entirely based on a single realistic animation they did of a cat. I think interaction between multiple characters is really tough because it's a whole other set of limbs that you have to… -
Re: Zbrush Abnormal Termination
I use version 4R8 P2, and I meant when the objects interact with each other. I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem anymore, it seems to crash or freeze evsn though they do not enter one another. Also, I've tried remeshing another subtool and projecting it, it didn't seem to fix my issue, I thought it would though.… -
Re: ZBrush 4R2b
Hah, love the epic music synched to some guy doing random hair on a dog... Looks interesting though, really curious to see what kind of bakes you can get with this, could be a great initial base to work with. And it does seem alot more interactive than any other hair system I've seen up till now.
