Re: Drawcalls VS Triangles
All boils down to performance vs. workflow compromise. Draw calls are more expensive then polies to my understanding because with each additional draw call the model has to be rendered one more time internaly before it's output on the screen. Say you have a prop with 6k polies and two draw calls, effectively the engine has… -
Re: [WIP] Zerg Centipede Leech
Sorry for the small pictures, my computer was starting to chug with all the subtools showing at once, hopefully these new screens will be larger. I went with the larger version first, since it will be easier to go back and make a funny smaller version later. For simplicity I didn't add in too much variations in size of the… -
Re: [Workflow Quixel and xNormal] Boss Character 45K Polys and 8K Maps.
Just tried with a low poly tire with 8k maps that where all generated from xnormal nothing fancy, everything looks fine on screen, but now the exporter won't do anything when I hit the button. There is also something going on with the maps going blank on screen(solid grey), or being over-ridden by something, I only had one… -
Re: Free 3D Models (most iPhone spec)
Habboi, Yeah I am giving them away no credit required....but I always put in there that I'd like to see an IM or an email and maybe some screens of how it was used. That's really just out of pure curiosity and for me to see new life to some of these assets I've seen sitting around for a while. Update today: A near final… -
Re: Cintiqs
You're talking about a difference of 8 PPI if you get a 22HD Cintiq. You probably won't even see the difference. 1080p on a 13 inch screen will make everything look tiny. I know this because I tested a bunch of HD tablets with 10-13 inch screens and they weren't very usable with a pen because the software buttons are so… -
Re: Marchwarden's Portfolio Work Thread
I was about to mention than your screens looked a lot brighter in your newest iteration... Then I realised that I'm on a different monitor I think that your rain could do with being a lot heavier, such as in the concept. How are you going about making the current effect? Alpha planes? Particles? Epic uses a technique where… -
Re: Modeling: Maya Vs. Max
I am not really sure what happened. I was working last night no problems. I wake up this morning, take a shower, get dressed and open Max. My Red Green and Blue move tool does not show up. I can click on the object and drag it around the screen, but not in one axis direction. The rotate tool, the scale tool do not show up,… -
Re: Quake-like movement
I will echo the others statements, that you have a long way to go if you can't figure basic movement out. What you are describing is Q3 rendering elemets to screen coordinates as opposed to world coordinates. The player model is not drawn while in first person. The wepon models and animations stand alone and are draw to… -
Re: King of Keyboards has a ship date and a price!
Like I mentioned before I have the g15 for my desktop. I love it. I have used the screen for gaming a lot, a clock, shows my winamp info, i can also control the songs from the keys on the top without having to close down max, maya, photoshop to plug around in winamp. There are also other things people are developing for… -
Re: Zbrush issue
These questions go in the Tech section: https://polycount.com/categories/technical-talk Looks like you are on a pretty small screen, or quite low rez. You are missing about a third of the interface at the bottom. Is this o a notebook? I reckon this is about as good as you are going to get in modelling view. You would want…
