I was having this conversation with a friend about the polycount challenge and I just thought it would be a good idea to post it and get other ideas. Me: yeah its why I have faith in polycount Me: they will put some kind of a restriction on what to do so that people just cant submit a model they have worked on for a year.…
Hi all, Thought i'd give this challenge a go. Entering Alone as i quite fancied doing something similar for a while. I'm going with a Dwarven Throne (I know, I know) I wan't to push for what i would consider is Dwarven; scale, grandeur, wealth, geometric. I'm aiming on a theme crossed between LOTR and Warhammer. The Throne…
I'm loving the new Suite finally. Took me a while to warm up too it, but after checking the Orc demo files out, realized you have can have multiple OBJ's in a single project. This means multiple UV's!!! I googled OBJ's with multiple uv's and didn't find much except OBJ don't support multi uv's. dDo disagrees, totally…

It's ok when you are working in low res on a small sized prop, but once you go up to final resolution and your object is big enough (architecture), it instantly reveals the repetitive and artificial nature. When you try to bring your own hi-res textures as patterns, it hangs. I would gladly use SP with my own textures and…
Seems to be huge issues ever since their new update, sites down and everything, hope this is good news in the end. I really dislike the forced re spawn I was in a very safe area... away from bandits anyway with my precious gear. Instead I was at starting zone but in an area SURROUNDED by nothing but water and since theirs…
Nice study. Just wanted to point that wood looks like a caramel chocolate. As for a whole topic about orb/faf textures i do not think that this is hard. Its quite easy if you understand what are you doing. First of all you need to know what matcaps actualy are. And the answer is simple, its a phong model set to camera and…
Heya, i use 3ds max for my baking, and i think the edge padding might be one of the issues im having with the normal lighting pass: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhijZHe1QEA"]chaos_test_scene2 - YouTube[/ame] Someone mentioned shading groups might be my problem, and im using UVW lightmap co-ords from my base…
Thanks Fearian. In regards to the pipes, I believe it's one of those moments when it looks better in motion than a still shot. I'll have to record a video sometime. Any idea how I can improve the lighting? I used these as reference for lighting ideas since sewers are normally pitch black. I made a collapsed ceiling in the…
