Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
Hello everyone, its my first post here but glad to finally join this web that has given me so much useful information. I was wondering if there is some way to reduce the amount of polys by removing internal loops without making the normal map behave weird. I have some rocks with diffuse and normal map, and when I remove… -
Source engine character modeling question
Hi All. I am working on character model for L4D2. My original plan was to use a single 2048 square texture space, so in the end I would have two 2048 textures for - diffuse and normal. However my sculpt in Mudbox is such that if I do that I will lose some nice detail that I like, so I am wondering if its possible/worth… -

UDK Lighting Problem
Lighting within UDK is one of the topics that seems to pop up time and time again. I'm bringing it up one more time~ While blocking out my environment I came across this odd lighting thing. No light source present within the room -at all-. With the player's torch on, so you can compare. The area is fully walled off,… -

BANG!'s workshop
Hello Polycounters! I am giving a try at Dota 2 items, working on a set for Shadow Shaman from a concept created by Fudgie Wudgie with the Chinese new Year theme for the Spring 2014 event. This is my first models for Dota 2 so I have some questions. Here's some wip base mesh, still blocking things out and then cleaning up… -

Re: How do Animation Studios texture?
1. I'm not sure I fully understand the question but I'll write some stuff anyway :) . Companies like Pixar and Dreamworks will paint textures to achieve a cartoony look. It used to be much more common to use procedural shaders that are evaluated at render time rather than textures. These saved on memory and disk storage,… -
Re: Pigman/Warthog - Frist time. Crit me!
I don't think baking is a big problem here. I think the weakest parts are the texturing and making the character all on piece. I am not trying to sound harsh you have a good start for a first character, but here goes. First the belt on the chest wouldn't conform to the shape of the chest so severely. If you make the belt… -
Re: Feedback and critique for someone new to 3d modeling.
Now that you've got a basic understanding of modeling you should briefly plan out your next few projects. You don't specify what your goals are in the OP but I'm going to assume you want to make props for real-time rendering (game engines). Current gen workflows generally involve the following: making a high-polygon mesh…
