Hey Polycount - I'm a big lurker but I rarely post :x . I have a question for my fellow Seattle area Polycounters - is anyone attending the 3D Training Academy "night of inspiration" (link) next week? I hadn't heard about it (except for a random email I received) but I figured it would be interesting so I grabbed a ticket.…
Hi everyone! The polycounter in 3DS Max is a great tool, but it counts every polygon/triangle in the scene (or in your selection). However, I would need to count only the drawn polygons and not the back-culled ones. Usually I consider them being about 2/3 of the total polycount, but it's never a precise value. Does there…
A while ago we announced - and launched in partnership with Sketchfab- the Polycount Tower: An on-going community project that allows any and all artists to participate. Around that time we had launched the Throne Room contest which, admittedly, took some of the wind out of the towers sails. But! We're here to remind you…
Im intermediate at 3d modeling but self taught so this might sound like a silly question. I see models in the 60,000 polycount range and lower but the texture resolution on them is so sharp and clear. So is it possible to have a model that is 60,000 polys wrapped with a texture that is say 4K?
Hello, Polycounters! I'm a filmmaker turned developer turned aspiring 3D artist! lol I started studying 3D modeling this year so I'm very very new to a lot of things. Nice to meet all of you. :)
