Thanks Nite! I'll take a look at that cigar and see what I can do, thanks for the suggestion. Here's the low poly, around 12-13k. I could drop it more if I had the time to finish retopoing everything but I was only able to get to the hat, head, jacket, and hands. The pants really need it. I will have to go back to them…
Rage: For me...cuz I sincerally love my family, I just hate being judged all the time for things I'm not willing to change just cuz they dislike them. I wish my family respected concepts and lifestyles hat don't align with there own. I suspect that they indeed 'do' accept other people living differently just not their only…
Looking sweet man. I love the face, it has a lot of nice subtle stuff going on. For the hat, if you have the poly's. Give it a brim edge, to make it have thickness. It adds so much. Here is a similar hat I did recently http://www.poopinmymouth.com/3d/me_hats.jpg to show you what I mean. Leaving it a single plane makes the…
I'm about 6 hours in, and really enjoying the combat. It is a hyper optimized version of the Job system, that is so user friendly and "dumbed down" that it will auto configure and set up the best groupings for you. You can customize the job groups, which is helpful. It is less open ended than 12 at the start - where you…
The Facebook hate reminds me of the way everyone hated Microsoft back in the 90's. And then DirectX and Xbox became a big chunk of gaming and it's now hard to imagine them not being there. I also just had a friend try and convice me that this will meen that the Oculus rift SDK/drivers will now force you to log into…
We used nurbs for the entirety of the terrain modeling during the lifespan of the ssx franchise. They're pretty much outdated at this point with the implementation of smooth mesh preview in maya. That being said I've never been a fan of nurbs, I hate manipulating them and I hate uv mapping them. We had a bunch of fancy…
Shacknews took some time to spotlight Polycount and to chat with Adam "Polycount has been home to a large number of video game artists, both professional and amateur, since 1998. Like Shacknews, Polycount has deep roots in Quake. The site was once known as Q2PMP..." and more specifically Adam... "While his personal…
There is now a free special Xmas gamemode of my game Last Knight here: http://www.lastknightthegame.com You are starving very quickly but there is lot of turkey and candy scattered around. On the other side eating too much will make you explode! There are also randomly generated snowmen (includeing Hitler and Kim Jung-Un…
Finished the High poly and i'm on to retopo. I really like how the hat came out. I tried to stay pretty true to the weave pattern that a rice farmer's hat would look like. There was also a seam in the zbrush surface noise I used to make the weave pattern so I added some straw ties to cover it and also add to the "crafted…
I hate the fact that it happens irregularly and not every time i create a shape. This leads me to believe it is not a setting, but some issue with those shape creation tools itself. Example, i just went into max again and made a box and a cube. Neither of them had the out of place vertices. I deleted them and made another…
