Reduce Polygons 3DS or X model
Hello, I need a tool to reduce polygons in my models, in format 3DS or X. It should be free if possible, I don't have 3DS Max. I already Googles and found Pixel3D, it seems to do the job but I cannot save in shareware version. Any other suggestions? I just need to reduce vertices and or polygons in two 3DS/X models...… -
How to count your polygons and tris?
Hey all, Noob here, but learning as much as I can. I know that all games eventually convert quads into tris. So my question is, is there a way to calculate how many polygons your model currently uses? I use 3dmax. Also, how many polygon is usally attributed in making sections of the character? How many is used for the… -
For realtime game asset, is it okay to delete backface polygon?
so i have an armor that has some gap from the body, so i need it to be separate. The question is can I delete the backface polygon to save some polygon? -
2 Sided Polygons
Hey, new to posting and 3D but I can't find anything on this (that is if you can even do it.). I want to start doing low poly character with hand painted texture but I want to figure out how to use 2 sided polygons. I have heard it used before but not a lot of info on how to do it. For example, if I wanted to do a… -
Re: 3DS Max - UV - inverted polygons?
A similar situation for me. Exported the model from Google SketchUp to 3ds max, optimized it well, some did create from zero, but, when creating uv and when using "select inverted polygon", some polygons displayed if they were flipped. Just trying to mirror it in UVWs editor - didn't help. Ok, just trying to detach these… -
which is more important polygonal or sculpting skills?
It's a question that wouldn't have been asked years ago. Today it seems that most characters go from concept to sculpting then down to a retopologised mesh. This is in contrast to the older days of low poly where it was concept to polygonal model and texturing was all hand painted. In the game industry today are sculpting… -
Re: Extrude polygonal faces from a curve in Maya?
It looks like they're just extruding the edges of a polygon, not an actual curve. You can do that in maya pretty much the same way, make a polygon of the eye shape and then extrude the edges out. Then delete the original polygon. -
Re: Limit the draw area of a polygon in OpenGL based off of UV?
This was probably too specific of an idea but in case someone finds themselves in this situation or finds this thread from a search I thought I'd post how I fixed the issue. What I ended up doing was generating an additional UV set at runtime, I'd look at the meshes and generate a list of polygons that were over the… -
Why is my texture bending in the the middle of the polygon?
Hey guys I'm trying to create a low=poly stream of smoke but am noticing some odd distortion with the texture right at the centre of the polygon. I understand that having my object low=poly means that I will have kinks in the texture but am confused why this is happening in the middle of the polygon rather than at the… -
Polygons and Maps: In-Game vs CG
Hi, guys! I'm trying to have a further understanding in how game's cinematics are made. Generally speaking, a ps3/xbox 360 in-game character has somewhere between 10.000 to 20.000 polygons and the details are simulated with normal maps, right? But when you watch a game cutscene (cinematic), where realtime rendering is not…
