Laptop/Notebook Performance???
The right laptop within the professional art world: I'm not too familiar with the performance of laptops or notebooks when it comes to rendering ungodly amounts of polygons or sub dividing 50 times in Z-brush. I don't trust testimonials from manufacturer bases websites so I thought I'd ask Polycount. I know desktop… -
How do I cap a hole like this (it isn't technically a hole, so "cap" doesn't work)
Heres a example picture of the problem I'm facing right now. What I want to do, is create a polygon where the middle "line/edge" is, inside the hole in the tube. I've had this problem before but could never figure out a solution. I'm trying to make a simple japanese style screen door, with a wooden frame thats attached to… -

Improving my mesh flow.
Hello polycounters. I am in need of a little assistance. All of my career i have focused on environment art and its been what ive been doing for the last 5 years. I recently tried to make a character and some of my modeling abilities improved which i imagined would be the case. But one thing id really like/need to improve… -
What steps are required for a 3d artist to make a finished game asset?
As a programmer i would like to know, what steps you have most in common to do, to create the final optimized 3d model for a game and what steps you think are stupid or you wish you must not do because it would increase your work progress dramatically. 1. 2d Sketch(es) / your own imagination of the model 2. Do the model… -
Re: First Maya object model (key) - Am I on the right track?
Hey, A good guideline is to make something look as good as possible with as few polygons as possible. As Brian mentioned there are a few scenarios where you'd want nice uniform topology and watertight models but for props and enviro art (non-animated) there is really no constraint. You can have floating polygons on top of… -
Re: [WIP] Mars Attacks! Martian- 3D Character Project
Thank You James for your feedback! I’ve gone back and increased the number of polygons in the Dome, so the shape shouldn’t be too blocky anymore! Along with the changes to the Dome, I’ve adjusted the topology on the Collar, so there aren’t as many polygons that connect to the Arm Ports. I’ve also retopologized the Head,… -
Re: Boolean low poly geomtry - is this acceptable?
For your low res, it's acceptable, but you'd still want to avoid having a couple of things that could cause uv/baking issues. You'd wanna avoid having a certain triangulation in your mesh that creates an obtuse angled polygon. For instance, if you were to remove the highlighted edge that you've correctly got there, you'd… -
Re: LANDNAV simulation game development
FInished the water buffalo. For this one I started with a scan I picked up from sketchfab. But it's a big polygon soup, so I built a new clean model just using block modeling techniques. It's kind of fun to model that way. Like a game to see how much you can do with just cubes and cylinders. But I also got to use some… -
Re: zbrush 4R6 now with magic retopo
I just threw this together to show why people are treating it like the second coming of sliced bread: Basically, it's kind of a big deal. With other auto-retopo solutions, you get polygon distribution and layout that's far too uniform to be useful right out of the gate as a game and/or animation-ready mesh. With ZRemesher,…
