Re: Room Modeling advice
Fill rate is an issue, but a few areas of a few polies in a single (or even a few) rooms, is not that big of a deal. Games draw tons of stuff that doesn't get seen. You want to limit it to an extent, but it's a necessary thing. I mean, in your argument, if I put a cabinet against one of those walls, then I'm wasting space… -
Re: Modelling & Texturing Environments
It's pretty standard to build modularly. Instance things where you can and reuse pieces. For example the stall walls could be one prop copied to both sides or a few times to fill out an entire bath room. To get some difference out of them you can texture each side uniquely and build the piece symmetrical and that way you… -
Re: Sci Fi UDK Game Level
Are you going towards a modular approach? I can't completely tell from your unwraps, but I've been seeing sci fi environments being taken on more modularly than before. http://thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html There's a guy on here who made a kick ass sci fi and he only used a couple of texture pages. Anyways,… -
Re: Monthly Noob Environment Challenge 2
Heyup people I've been following this for a while and decided I'll have a go at it too. Hopefully I can keep up momentum and get this piece looking portfolio worthy. Learning objectives: - Get better at baking high poly to low poly... I am terrible at this - Improved texturing (especially with specular) - Generally improve… -
Re: Enviro: Church + Hiring!
Thats amazing looking! The texture work is really well done. Is it modularly constructed? Any chance at a peak of texture sheets and wireframe or flatshaded views? The render seem to have a low Anti-Alias value?, Are they in game shots and the AA was limited by the hardware restrictions? I'm a little curious why the tops… -
Substance Workflow question
I have a workflow question. I am working on a scene with a lot of low level assets. Mostly boxes, crates, mirrors, picture frames, etc. The assets are different enough that I cannot build them modularly. I have talked to several folks and they say where they work there is not enough time to make a high poly and… -
Sc-fi Outpost
Hello Polycount! I've been the shadows of this site for years and finally pushed myself to just put something up here because I would really love feedback on what I could do to get better! So for this project is for a school assignment where I have to create an architectural game ready asset in 3 weeks. So far I have made… -
Re: Tomb Wall: How would you create this?
I think you're right to care about it. The wall is certainly a focal point of the piece, and I think you risk ending up with a less than satisfying portfolio piece if you don't give it the attention it deserves. I'm betting how you handle the stonework is going to be the difference in whether people just glance at it in… -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 - MASTER THREAD
Hi guys, I'm looking for some help and would be grateful if someone could point me to a tut or explain the workflow. I basically want to create an outdoor level with buildings which have interiors (similar to call of duty per say). What I would like to know is what would be the best way to create those buildings? Should it… -
Re: Cowboy Western Environment WIP
From my own learning basically I see this building as something you could construct modularly (if this was intended for unreal say). IE there could be 4 or 5 different parts here that could be reused. The sign, the porch, the awning. Windows and doors are a given. And then that leaves you with a square. That square could…
