Re: Silo any good?
I tried the trial and I was very impressed with the clean UI, nice hotkeys and just streamlined modeling tools... however, there was some really dodgy stuff happening with the selecting of vertices/edges/faces. I can single-select everything fine but theres some pre-selection highlighting thing that doesnt quite work, I… -
My Avatar
Ok, so I just made this avatar. I think it's cool, and I didn't even know if it would work, but it ended up being a more interesting experience than i anticipated. I'm sure there are infinite variations on this method to make it, but i thought mine was kind of ridiculous and time consuming, and at the very least you would… -
Re: What are you working on? 2014 Edition
hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I came here looking for a pixel artist who would be interested in collaborating with me on a vertical scrolling. The game in my mind is M.U.S.H.A. If you are a pixel artist who can create sprites, tilesets for a vertical scrolling shooter game such as M.U.S.H.A, let's have some fun… -
Re: When to LOD when to not LOD?
If your asset is already low poly there's necessarily no need to create LODs, sub 1k vertices for example, or a small props that get culled away early anyway. These days creating LODs can be pretty much completely automated and the UE auto-LOD generally does a good job creating LODs for your props. For more specific cases… -
Re: Making retopology great (...again?) - Share your tips & tricks!
Good tips to start. @lotet : I typically try to stay as low as possible, but some of the forms I'm dealing with are highly irregular and uneven. If I start too low and add loops later, some of the vertices get "thrown" to other nearby surfaces or collapse the geometry altogether. @Sunray : the polypaint guide tip is… -
Re: The Witcher 3
You guys probably know this stuff but sometimes developers do a 'vertical slice' of the project and really push the quality sometimes with not much optimisation, this is done for many reasons. One reason may be to impress the publisher or shareholders, another may be to just internally figure out workflows and project… -
Re: Baking selection masks in xnormal?
Colored materials applied to a model is not the same as vertex color data. Unless you baked the colors into the vertices as vertex color data. Assuming you have vertex colors present in your model, make sure you have "Ignore per-vertex-color" unchecked in your High Poly tab in xNormal. Keep in mind that this setting will… -
Re: Modeling mouse madness
I would strongly recommend a vertical mouse. whether it has a lot of buttons or not. I got one at work because my wrist was starting to hurt. It's made such a huge difference that I got one for home as well. Super basic, and takes a day or 2 to get used to, but totally worth it. Once you're used to it, gaming doesnt feel… -
Re: Is anyone up for a scripting challenge?
I hope this explains it clearly. I don't know how useful it would be on Curvature but I'd find it very useful on Straighten (both example GIFs are Straighten). Unconstrained Straighten creates the shortest path between the two end vertices. Constraints - Edge - Straighten would constrain it to the surface's edges. In the… -
Re: XBLA Project
A game vertex typically "weighs" around 32 bytes (that is 8 times the cost of a compressed pixel in a RGB texture, 4 times of uncompressed RGBA). Be aware so that game vertices are typically a bit more than the vertices in the 3d editor. A q3 level like q3dm1 would be like 1.4 megs, a car with 10k polys around 450 kb. Just…
