Re: In-Game Vertex Counts - useful to know?
Correct me if this is wrong/inaccurate, but: As a model gets more complex, the ingame vertex count would increase exponentially (not exactly, but you know what I mean, not in a linear way), because more verts will lie on the UV seams and so on. So, because poly/tri counts are just rough estimates anyway, doesn't this mean… -
Re: First model (ultra noob)
Hello Jon!! And welcome!! I am Marco and I am from Spain too!! Well. I don´t see this work of yours as a "noob" one. In fact, It is quite decent. Back when I started polygonal modeling I had some issues as well. After some time trying by myself I decided to look into Arrimus3D youtube channel. Thanks to his videos I… -
Re: Modelling a path on top of ground (for games). Also UV tiling question.
Hm. So you've have the grass on top, with floating path geometry (red). You'd have grass->dirt texture on the side (yellow). And you'd have Path_End texture on the light blue? The only problem I can see with that is the path would have to end on a specific polygon (the path end on the left is different to the one on the… -
Re: normal mapping a head: help needed
If you download the ZBRUSH practical guide it has a section on baking normal maps. You can get this from the ZBRUSH central forum I dont get what your saying about the low-poly model being uv-mapped, but the high-poly isn't though? If you're baking your normal map in ZBRUSH then you will be baking it onto your lowest… -
Re: Gear Krieg!
TBH, you should try your best to get this one down to under 200 polygons MAX and even try a 64x64 res texture, if not lower. The DS doesn't have the resolution your screen has, remember that (256x192). Now this shot is at DS res, and I'll be honest even the mech on it at scale I feel is way to big for the screen... But… -
Re: Rail Cart - My First Serious Attempt
Hail my extremely detailed diagrams made in photoshop. Red dots are verts, black are edges. After you've tied off your n-gons into triangle groups. I think these days in next-generation games people create a high-polygon sculpt from a base mesh created with a polygonal software, and then they import the finished hi-poly… -
Re: Doom 3 center Seam
There's always a seam or hard line like that on D3 models, it's even present on the original models. If it's a character model you will have to use "unsmoothtangents" in the material file (look at some of the default shaders for character models in D3) as that 'forces' the polygon/lighting relationship in game to behave… -
