Re: Monthly Noob Character Challenge Discussion
I believe that, the requirements for ArenaNET test characters are way to strict. I can agree on texture part, but polygons ? Character in Camelot Unchained have at least 10k tris (AFAIR it is actually above 12k), which I think is reasonable number. I say use as few as polygons possible, but not at the cost of more… -
Re: Sub-d tip: Perfect 8 sided cylinders from quads
I really like that tip Ark, thanks for sharing! When you're in polygon sub-object mode, it shows up under Graphite Modeling Tools, Polygons, GeoPoly. Also SyncViewS has a similar function that runs on loops called IC.GeoEdgeLoop, it can average length of the edges so they all match. I don't think it will help in this… -
Re: 3dsmax 9 - Material ID issues.
Thanks Vig - it all is much clearer now! :poly124: I went and created a couple of multisub materials, and re-assigned all polygons to one of seven possible ID's and it all works fine. I'd always thought the numbers in the Material ED 'forced' surface ID #'s on polygons- so that's one myth busted. I'll bear it in mind if I… -
Re: Punk soldier chick WIP
Nice model! I think the breast need a bit more polygons, look too much polygonal(specially at edges) for my hands But if you are putting near the bandolier/ammo won't matter too much I bet. Btw, if you assign the DiffuseGI texture slot in the 3D viewer you will get some kind of fake outdoor illumination so your model won't… -
Re: Need help with swiftloop
Are you using it for the base's height?..ofcourse it's not gonna do anything because swiftloop ony work for quads (cus it cut the polygon based on it's topology). I noticed that the pillar, or whatever that thing in the corner, is attached to the base which make the big polygon at the bottom become 10 sided poly. Detach… -
Re: modeling hi poly weapons is painful, any tips?
Hmm our weapons modeler takes around a week for a hipoly gun i think, depending of its complexity. It's the same guy that did the UT series guns. I'm guessing UT2k7 guns take about the same since it's pretty much the same stuff we're doing. As for hipoly topology, there's quite a few ways to approach things, mostly… -
Re: Robotic Welding Arm
You might want to provide us with some wireframes of the model if you want any help with the polygon flow on the model. Also is this meant to be for a game? Depending on the scene where you want to put it, you might want to save some smaller details like the small bolts on the black circles for the normal maps. Anyway,… -
Re: 3ds smothing groups / Maya smoothing
STL check is Max's way of checking for non-manifold geometry. Stuff like 3 faces per edge... or having 2 faces share the same 3 verts (back to back). I don't think there's a single option that checks all that for you. You have to sort of get into the habit of checkin for those things yourself. The thing with Maya is that… -
Re: [Blender] How to "flip edges between quads?"
Guess blender does handle non visible edges like maya: automatically. This can be nice but I would love to be able to set something like "intended edge" which overrides the automatic setup on selected edges. Highlighted in a specific color to make it clear. @99499 We probably all know there is not something like a… -
Re: Sculpting question - Zbrush slower than Blender?
Hey TeriyakiStyle, I didn't subdivide beyond 17 million. It was just for testing purposes. Usually I never reach that many polygons but it would be nice to have that possibility. I am just confused because I heard that Blender couldn't handle that many polygons in the viewport but it handels them better than ZBrush. Which…
