Re: Fig - Crowd funding with equity for backers...
If thats what you think I would strongly advise you to watch the doc about the development of Broken Age. The whole series is on Youtube. Having said that, this whole thing sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Investment shouldn't be done on a whim and the number of people who will automatically claim fraud if they… -
Re: SPAS-12
The model and bake is looking excellent! But I'm very curious to your reasoning for dividing it onto multiple maps? I understand you want to keep it modular, but wouldn't it be easier to have variations on a single source map ( clean/ dirty/ junk) texture variations. With X parts and Y variations you need X*Y number of… -
Re: Pimping and Preview forum
I know you've said stuff like this for a while, and I think it's absolutely awesome that you want to continue doing things this way. That said, though, I'd sign up for "Polycount Premium" if it meant you guys could afford to get the right people to throw together features when you need them. I don't know exactly what sort… -
Re: Self-portrait. Work in progress.
Of course, the fact that all geometry is represented by triangles is a very big disadvantage. But given the fact that the draft sculpt in any case be subject to retopology you can live with it. But the fact that when a number of triangles reaches too high values Sculptris immediately crashes - it's really a big problem!… -
Re: Tiling some of texture, not all?
you can cut your polygons anywhere and tile with geometry. I often do that if I have to use texture pages. Each element below is made to tile on it's own (being stipes or bricks...and some tests that didn't turn out too good =) All the elements are placed tp specific numbers in PS beforehand. Then I used textools to map my… -
Re: I love animation,but i am about unsure about carrer in CG
Its just the way the film industry is. You have a period of production which heavily involves artists but then there is a LOT of down time once the film is finished so many teams are disbanded. Unless you have an established studio like Pixar or ILM or Weta that stuff is the norm. The game industry might be a bit more… -
Re: Low Poly Aircraft Pack
DWalker - Wow thanks for the LOD resource. I will definitely be doing some adjustments on the LOD poly counts. I really need to do the LODs and get a good feel for it and then I can hone in more precise numbers and get them quite a bit lower. It's always something I have to do in production first and then edit the numbers.… -
Re: Near Future Shooting Range
The assets individually look really nice, but I agree with Nam, its looking flat as a scene. Some ways you could easily make it have more contrast and visual interest are as follows. Spend more time adding specular highlights, as well as edge grunge, its coming across a bit to clean, some Shooting Range related posters… -
Re: Your dream technological idea
I didn't expand on Holodeck because there are just too many applications where that technology could be used. It's like several steps after VR. Projecting objects holographically into physical space and simulating their mass and tangibility. Obviously the way it is used in Star Trek would be super cool, though I'm still… -
Re: Unrapping a complex model
Two things. I'm not sure joining all the geometry is a wise use of polygons. Since there will be UV seams where they join all those hanging fins will be broken off and separate geometry. This explains why (read welcome to splitsville) http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/provost/byf2.html So I think breaking all the fins…
