So just to be clear : your problem here is that your high is too dense to be manipluated outside of Zbrush ? There are two ways around that. - You either do your whole retopo stage using an app that is optimized to load very highpoly models as surfacereference. That'd be Topogun. Max comes second in that regard (as it is…
I've used Blender a lot over the past several years. I love the fact that its open source, but there are upsides and downsides when it comes to actual game development. For creating assets for a portfolio or such, especially if you also use other apps like zbrush, 3dcoat, topogun etc it's nice. Its fast and pretty…
Haha geez man you need to settle down a bit. People on Polycount are amazing at helping, I would suggest not burning this bridge so fast by being ornery when people are putting up their own time trying to be of assistance. Also, demanding that someone talk you through a problem this small like some sort of personal coach…
There's a huge difference between clunky movement, and immersion. Whether or not you like the latter is up to you. Deus Ex had problems yes, there was a much larger emphasis on the design, and as such animation seemed to take a strong hit, which ties into direct player feedback from a first person cam. System Shock 2 and…
The optimizations you seem to think that are revolutionary, are mostly reduced asset complexity. The models are 1800 poly max, doom3 was around 3.5k in some cases. The multiplayer was cut/paste from q3 litterally, hence the rocket speed being slower, they did'nt account for the different scale size. All i'm saying is that…
Is their a way in bodypaint to make it so it rotates around the last stroke you made automatically? I've been using the insert key to set the camera pivot to where the cursor is, but its an extra key press that I'm doing a lot that I'd like to eliminate.
Heya :D So while I've been focused on DoW2: Chaos Rising here at Relic, I was asked to do a statue for our JUST released DLC, DoW2: Last Stand. It was the only piece of art I did for the DLC, but is the first thing I can show since moving to Relic and working on Dawn of War 2 so I thought I'd make a post!
I just wanted to update this thread as this story unfolded far past what I originally thought it would. Fast forward a few weeks after getting the rejection email, to another email from the same studio saying they re-evaluated their art style and wanted to see if I was open to completing another PAID art test. This second…
Drivers and support. If you buy a new Quadro, and it were to bog down in warranty, you'll get a new one asap. Try doing that with a commercial gaming-grade card... :) The drivers for these cards are throughly tested because the last thing someone that constantly pushes millions of verts needs, is a buggy driver. The…
I have this happen all the time which is why I get very annoyed when people dismiss it as nostalgia goggles. I picked up Zelda: A Link to the Past only a few months ago and was amazed at how well it played and at how well constructed it was. Similarily, I played Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the first time not so…
