Low Polygon RAAF
Hi Guys. Decided to get off my arse and do something, so I decided to hone my low polygon skills into creating (eventually) all of the aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force. Done for 2 reasons, 1, to help catch on to this 'texturing' fad, and 2, to cheer myself up. I have been down lately because I am not flying atm… -
2400+ 3D game models at $150!
After 5 years of hard work, and thanks to many failed projects, I've ended up having a huge collection of game ready models. Because I'm moving to CGI department, those models will become "useless" to me. Now I wish to trade them with you guys at a very indie price. Let's cut the crap! For $150, you will get 2400+ fully… -
Re: Evaluating the time it takes to create a game ?

Well after checking out the specs on the Alienware Area-51m 7700 I'm hooked! I would love to get one so I started checking out ebay, but Im so damn skeptic of spending that kind of money on ebay, let alone those guys who wanna take the transaction outside of ebay. Some got prices so low its got to be a scam. Like $900 for… -

Re: SoftImage not saving 2nd UV for lightmap in obj?
Sorry if I'm not making sense. I want paint texture and lightmap for a mesh in Mari, but Mari seems to only support obj, which only saves 1 UV set (which has overlaps). Does that mean: 1. have 1 UV set on .obj in Softimage 2. paint texture in Mari 3. import that .obj back into Softimage 4. create 2nd UV set for lightmap in… -
Re: How long does it take to design a character?
For me I usually go this route, keep in mind these are rough estimates 1-2 hours looking up reference and inspiration for a mood board 1 hour thumbnailing/silhouettes. just really quick sketches. 1-3 hours picking best couple thumbnails and refining them a bit more/ 1-3 pick final and refine it as far as you want/need to.…
