YO Crazy Polycount People My inspiration for this 60s/70s themed skin was created at almost exactly the time, where everyone would expect it to be: it is the year 1510 :anguished: (#woops) Inspired by one of THE great old masters: -MICHELANGELO- The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel's (google it if you…
Hey everyone, This is a skin for the contest inspired by some of the 70's space poster made by NASA a few months back. Being the not very intelligent fellow I am I had already put this on the Workshop for the competition thinking that was how you enter. So I re-read the instructions and have now posted it on here in hope…
Pretty much any workflow that reduces modeling time. B) - If I can get away with automating 90% of the low poly, then I'll use that. I really like Decimate: Planar in Blender in this regard. - If I can bash high poly objects together and throw them into ZBrush/Blender for Dynamesh/remeshing, then I'd much prefer to do that…
I will, they are mostly 100% tilable. The problem is the viewing angle of the roof which kill the normal-effect, I probably would have more detailed roofs if it wasn't so expensive ^^. Haven't seen a game so far where you walk on the ground with super-detailed roofs. Last thing I've seen really detailed roofs was in…
I actually think theres a problem with just saying CGI, because most of the time people will think of it in terms of characters. However I think that most of the CG/VFX burden on films go unnoticed by a large amount of people, even films that don't feature any otherwordly entities(like aliens, spaceships, monsters etc.)…
One thing I'm having big troubles with atm is getting my head around where to place UV splits, specifically for a good bake and optimised mesh. I've read all the literature including EQ's posts, the Polycount Wiki and 'Beautiful, Yet Friendly' - so I understand on a basic level that they should be placed where your model…
I never said AAA is going away. Top blockbuster games make tons of money, that business will continue. It's the bottom 70% of the retail market that is disappearing. We saw lots of studio closings this generation that showed that. However, a healthy market for blockbuster AAA is not a big enough reason for MS and Sony to…

Till then i used mostly the default brush and…
there are many good resources for gamma / linear space comparisons Its a bit confusing all in all , I dont want to say 70% accurate things Basically gamma color space makes your highlights overblown and your dark areas too dark, it is like a (bad) curve in photoshop essentially. You can emulate this look by just changing…
