Stuck: My Topology Journey Has Hit a Wall
Hey everyone, I'm writing this because I'm completely lost and honestly, pretty frustrated. I've been doing 3D modeling for years, but I've only recently grasped just how crucial good topology is.For better rendering model harsurface and other. I’ve tried to study the theory—quads, loops, and poles—but I just can't seem to… -
Audi A5 Sportback 2017 - WiP ( Blender 3d)
Hey everyone! My name is Szymon and I’m a 3D Vehicle Artist from Poland. I’ve been focused mainly on automotive modeling, surfacing and rendering in Blender for the last few years. I also had the opportunity to work on vehicles for the game Japanese Drift Master. This is my first post on Polycount, so I wanted to share my… -
I Got Married!
Hey all! Yesterday, October 3rd, I was married to my now wife Lupe! So awesome. This was by far one of the biggest steps in my life. We had a nice little ceremony in one of the local parks. The reception was great too. We had steak, mac n cheese, rum and coke, and cupcakes. All followed by super legit 80s dance music and… -
Re: [MAYA] Surface-Based Asset Generation
@fansub a few weeks back I downloaded your demo mesh and tested it extensively in quad chamfer and I just couldn't get as clean results as you showed with SS, even after spending some time manually editing the surface normals to try and clean up the shading errors, it still didn't compare. QC just doesn't handle… -
Re: Environment Art Beginner Questions
Regarding the cage being identical to the lowpoly: It's not the size or even the shape of the two that needs to be identical. Every vert is listed in a specific order for any given program to read - adding or removing a vert, connecting two together or removing an existing edge will re-order those verts. If the vert order… -
Re: Sk8er Pandaboi
Thanks for the comments guys! keep 'em coming, it will certainly help me learn much faster :) Quick question: Since I'm not too familiar with modeling a low poly characters/ props, so based on you guys experiences on doing a low poly model, do you guys always keep the "all quads/ tris" rule?..or can just use the n-gons for… -
Re: Specular map question
the exponent of the specular term in the phong lighing equation is responsible for its shape afaik color = attenuation*(max(0,dot(N,L)*diffuse + pow(max(0,dot(N,H)),shi)*gloss)*lightColor so the *gloss = specular map is just a multiply layer how much of your specularity is visible, the "shi" shininess factor would change… -
Re: W.I.P "Bandito".
Its been a while, but i've managed to do a low poly and textures on this guy. The body is at 2048*2048 d/n/s whilst the gun is at 512*512 d/n/s. I wasn't overly concerned with the polycount so I pushed it to 17'729 triangles (including all accessories, guns and teeth/tongue). The render was done using multiple Marmoset… -
Re: [WIP] AWSM .338 Sniper Rifle
Thanks for the C&C, guys :) Kitteh, you nailed it. I tend to over-saturate my textures a bit :P I desaturated just about everything, and it's looking much better now. Thanks :) I am in the process of adding scratches, dirt, grime, and general wear-n-tear now. This last texture is nothing but flat colors with various cavity… -
Re: Finished - Desert Communication Relay – Environment Scene
Here’s the finish line. This project has officially reached the end. Overall, I’m very pleased with how it turned out. The past week became very much a polish phase. Every time I thought I was done, I kept going back and asking myself: “Can this be pushed further?” That mindset carried through the entire final stretch.…
