Re: Jewelry Box
In the third image there, you have what is called nonmanifold geometry, which should be avoided. Edges should only ever share 2 polygons. If there is a circumstance that would require more, you should separate the extra bits into it's own element. The edges you have underneath the container are welded to vertices in the… -
Re: Can I bake this into normal map?
I think you are not understanding how a texture is applied on relation to the UV of the model. On this gif I'm using a tileable brick texture with two examples: One where the model has some UV shells/islands/pieces with equal texel distribution (the UV's are scaled acording to the size of its polygons in the 3d space so… -
Re: WIP Holy Snail Temple
Yeah, it's for Daniel's class. So... Here's a small update. First picture is about where I stand right now. Just been using the checker pattern to check the texel density as I progress. I'm using the floor tiles which the figure stands on as reference. (Those tiles being completely covered by a 256x256 texture) I've then… -
Re: Get a game job!
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Besides, most of the stuff made 5 years ago was bad low poly models....for games anyway. [/ QUOTE ] I just think that's pointing out the obvious. Graphics are getting better and games are becoming more elaborate.....I mean the orginal 1st release of Unreal Tournement looked really bad....scale,… -
Re: Char: James Anderson
theres some serious tallent going on here for a first time char model, very nice indeed. The Turnarounds look higher poly than the picture above, and based on them I'd suggest to you to look where you can reduce the poly count without compromising details. For example, because this is wielded in the middle, you could… -
Re: Advice on textures requirements and shaders
some quick look stuff: The fans look cool, overall shape is a bit shakey, could use a lot cleaner edge lines and defined shapes. The model is heavily wasting polygons. To start, polygon density: top/main body of the cockpit is a box, yet, the front/middle white trim has 6 sides. Inner dome of fans, and all those tiny round… -
Re: How are these mixer textures generated?
you could generate this with code or you could simply composite images. either way, the result will depend entirely on how you combine your gradients/distancefields/however you choose to think of it here is an example in substance designer. the maths translate 1:1 to any shading language and can be easily ported to code.… -
Re: TOPOLOGY - Solving Triangles on Curved Surfaces in Sub-D?
Should be a solution in here: (everyone should favorite it or book mark it, download it, whatever you can do.) https://polycount.com/discussion/221392/sketchbook-frank-polygon#latest Answer is there though, you review the imgs or read the posts. If you want me to try in text format, you need to "highlight the cuts, bevel… -
Re: Script: Silo style tools in max
I love things like these, I just tried rt_break and its kinda cool, although I very rarely break vertices. I like the create shape from border and the detach to element without a popup window asking if you want to detach to element or object each time. It doesnt seem to do anything in edge mode though, I replaced the edge… -
Re: Rocks
Hey there, Just some thoughts about this from what I've seen and what you've said. First of all, great job. It already is very nice, what you have here. If you keep going with this and polish some things up, I'm sure some peeps might be interested in it! Now to business. You say you wanna keep this game / the props…
