ErichWK on 09-13-2011 11:00 AM 26,000 tris for your Pod....................... So now that I'm on lunch I can critique this fer realz. Here's the biggest problem that bugs me. Your renders are really noises and jaggy and just hard to look at. I can't tell whether it's the anti Aliasing that is making it hard to focus or…
Looks fun man, but i think you're over complicating the tree by putting it in as one garbeled mess from the get go. Imagine the tree standing perfectly straight and not twisted at all. Imagine it completely symmetrical with no unique detail from any angle. All you have to model and texture is one small cross section of…
You can have high level of quality without baking. There is no always need for baking. There is a thread about this somewhere here btw. I see this "no hp no baking workflow" in a few new games, especially in racing games. The reason for doing this is that they already have enough polygons on their cars to get good shading…
Hello everyone! I have a friend in a game art program, and while they've seemed to improve in a lot of places, one place that seemed to be frustrating them and they had serious problems with turned out to be 3D Art. I'm pretty experienced with 3D art-- not exactly a professional but I understand a great deal about the…

"-Why do we not cut every face on the UV's so all of the UV's are 'white' (not pinching/stretching)? If we do this, would it affect or deform the model during rigging, animating, etc.?" If you are talking about making every polygon its own UV island or similar, I have tried doing it this way before. I would not do it again…
So. Those fantasy weapons are a pretty good choice for starting, because usually they aren't too complex. Do this: Method/Style 1 - Highpoly->lowpoly->baking normal and other maps 1. Make basemesh in your modeling software (Maya in your case) - Model the forms, separate the parts that should be separated. Like if it would…
The problem is that Physique was included in max with biped (Character Studio) back in version 2-3 (they here a bundled plug-in before that) and it was never kept up to date while biped was updated with features like prop bones. Physique just hasn't kept up and has trouble understanding the changes. Skin is better than…
Thanks Tea! I finally finished up this little pillar break down. Now let me pre-phrase this breakdown and say that this might not have been the best way of creating this asset. I learned some valuable lessons on this one. If I were to do this asset again I would make some adjustments. Figure 1-C was the biggest problem. Im…
