Re: Why to choose Faces or Tris for modeling? Pros vs Cons?
Zbrush has a unusual 3d context. It's not displaying polygons like any other program. So it complains because of that. The problem with any polygon that isn't a tri is that you have to convert to a triangle to display it. This doesn't matter if the polygon is planar but if you have a non-planar polygon it can have several… -
Re: Advanced Rendering
This is mostly about lighting. Materials need to be tweaked to support the lighting and rendering, but mostly you need to learn how to light a scene. We have some good resources here about lighting http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryLighting The help file in Max is a good place to start, for scenes like your examples above.… -
Re: guns, lots of guns
I wasnt trying to say you were wrong, because you arent. Your example was quite clearly an observational mistake on my part, I just thought that your particular examples warranted further discussion. I wasn't dismissing the crit. Also, I think that at least some of the 'flat spec' crits are down to the lighting setup in… -
Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
It's all context-dependent, something you learn best by doing. My advice is to try forcing yourself to stick to a lower resolution, and fix the problems you see. You will learn how to minimize repetitive features in a texture that is tiled. You will also learn how to leverage vertex blending and other techniques like… -

Many faces of Procedural Generation: Determinism (classification system, part 3)
Welcome to the third part of this Procedural Generation (aka ProcGen) classification series called “Many faces of Procedural Generation”. To see the previous part click here. In this post we’ll talk about a classification system on the possible deterministic aspects of ProcGen, which makes sense especially for run-time… -
EA Mythic - 2D/UI Artist & Tech Artist/Rigger
EA Mythic, home of a multitude of Polycounters, is looking for two artists. We're flexible enough to look at both experienced candidates, and folks new to the industry. These are potentially both great entry-level positions if you're looking to "get your foot in the door" (although we prefer experienced, technically… -
Re: Demoman Weapon Meets Valorant [Finished]
Looking good! Let me see if i can get some input here: On the UVs, anything that is nearly vertical or horizontal should be perfectly aligned, here are some examples. Even if the uvs become slightly distorted, its worth it so u dont get any aliasing on the model overall. I would still go back to HP and make some changes,… -
Re: How to polish this gas bottle / welding cart asset?
Rather sparse - doesn't give you much to choose from. It doesn't have to exact matches to the model. For worn paint on metal you can search and use anything made of both materials - with different levels of wear. For example you might find some nice images searching through abandoned vehicles, or well used tools. The same…
