Re: Mossberg 590 Tactical Breakdown
@Udjani it really depends what the weapon is for. I do know some VR games with a lot of polygons used in weapons. Since you are not locked in a singe perspective you could observe the whole weapon in detail so in that case it´s better to model a screw then baking it. Sure for a AAA first person shooter 80k is waaay too… -
Re: GDC Portfolio Review Wrap Up
Wireframes are good-as are showing how you built something modular. I do think wireframes are more important for low poly studios. I was chatting with some guys from Santa Monica Studio and they suggested MOAR POLIES!!! In my scenes. But smart use of polygons is smart use of polygons. I think what it really comes down to… -
Re: Teutonian "Splitter" - Four Armed, Elbow Rocket punching Metal Automaton
did you check normal direction? I always leave in the viewport options - Lighting - uncheck Two Sided Lighting, black faces now are the opposite of the face normal. I was going to say Unlock normals as well, but seems like you tried it. Polygon Menu - Normals - Unlock Normals. Another useful thing to keep on is Display -… -
Re: What constitutes a low-poly model?
Yeah pratically the amount of polys ( better say tris ) are dictated by the technical limitations of the console or PC where the game will run. You usually take a look at your mesh from the distance that will be viewed at and you start removing polygons accordingly. I advise you to take a look at this table here to get a… -
Re: Church and 3 houses
These aren't bad for a start, but the polygon use is large, boxy shapes, with small trim in trim details (church windows). You should either go low polygon and let the texturing add the detail, or go high detail for the whole model. Also, get reference of the real places and not just some model. What level of detail do you… -

Edit* I've gotten a lot of messages, I'll respond to each one but it'll take some time! Thank you! I'm hiring a 3D artist for an unannounced Unity sci-fi game and looking to hire a 3d modeler… -
Re: Need Modelling Help - Switching from Maya to Max
I'd also like to add that "attach" command in max actually merges polygons from other objects to the selected one, keeping all its properties like local axes and animation, and doesn't create new object like maya does. It can be very useful in some situations. 3ds max always tries to avoid nonmanifold topology so it won't… -
Re: Tron Legacy - Fanart
Hi Selaznog. Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it. I did it this way: 1 - I applied the hair/fur in max using polygon select as base and a line to draw each amount of hair. 2 - Then I transformed it to geometry(like 10 little polygon bases or less of hair). 3 - As geometry I selected the top borders and then I scaled it in… -
Re: What Do I Do?
HAHAHAHHAA. I laughed so hard after reading that because of that face at the end. hehehe. I will next time. I'll be all "You see you open this program autodesk three dee studio max, and start manipulating polygons and vertices to achieve your desired shape and design relative to balbalb. Add some more polygons to define… -
Re: Baking vs Painting
Well it turns out that the model I made did not really have anything to be baked down on. Maybe I would have saved 10 polygons, but it would be in the scene 4 times, and saving 40 polygons is kinda useless on desktop. I am going to start using Photoshop to draw a detail normal map with some designs. I will let you all know…
