If you want people to actually see your work I would suggest you save your work as jpeg. Your first image is a 120 meg png file. No one is going to wait for that to load.
Im now on to the hi res and uv mapping which will most likely take some time. The car will be on a full 2048 and is sitting at 18k polys right now. 12k with just exterior, with no accessories and 6k for the accessories.
My compy is pretty old too: p4 1.8ghz 512mb ram geforce fx5200 and the almighty sound card: creative vibra 128 So, I'm hopefully completing my new computer next week.
It's never wise to work on such huge textures and then scaled them down to 128 or 256. They will look horrible, lazy and lose lots of detail. It's always good to start the texture in the final resolution for such low poly stuff imo.
yeah you dont want to use a resolution like that, the video card will size it down to 1024x512. you need to use textures in powers of 2, ie: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096......
Hi guys. I've been adding some procedural scatter nodes to my 3Gen plug-in for Autodesk Maya. What do You think? Any feedback would be appreciated. Youtube demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb89nHNzOJw&t=129s&ab_channel=NemanjaStojanovic
I believe Modo uses a flavor of Catmull–Clark subdivision, which will never give you a perfect circle, but most of the time, I feel like 32, 64, 128 is good enough, depending on the size, scale, and how close it will be to the camera.
A bit of what the highpolies look like for this project. The nice thing about this spec is how quick and simple the HPs can be. When it all gets crunched down to a 256 or 128 a quick chamfer job looks the same as an actual subdivision model.
...Zergling... rush?... must...hold.. back... tears....oh the happiness I just came a little And ingame video http://tvpot.daum.net/theme/ThemeView.do?themeid=122&lu=t_c_theme_1 uhm watch it till the end.. awesome stuff in the end ;D
as far as i know the first source games had no specular just cubemaps, that faked specular.. HL2 Episode 1 or 2 was the first source game with phong shading, which they advertised as the new black ;) e: http://www.garry.tv/?p=121
