Re: xNormal vs. Max bakes
In my experience you choose whichever application you can for that particular situation. I've had situations where xNormal clearly produced a better normal map than in Maya (I'm a Maya person) and also faster. While in my recent project xNormal do not produce the same quality normal maps as Maya. I believe it all depends… -
Re: Unearthly Challenge..Where are you?
If you look at Dominance War & Unearthly Challenge and compare them to the contests Polycount has held and how we've created & maintained them you'll see why it made sense for us to go off and do our own thing. Fred and the folks at GameArtisans are good people doing great things for this videogame community of ours. If… -
Re: Need help getting references
Welcome Sam to Polycount and the wonderful world of 3D! Are you taking any formal education right now? You should definitely head over to that area of the forums and the Wiki to adsorb as much as you can. TBH, reference gathering is alot like "sifting" for gold nuggets. You just gather as many images as you can from… -
Re: Medieval Grunt Character
just great man, heaps of character, that 3/4 angled shot is definately the winner for this guy! I think maybe you could have pulled the shoulders closer together - more like the really excellent shape your concept shows. Kind of small head, gradually increasing in size down to waist where the mass peaks and slimming down… -
Re: College Decision
Lots of 2015 winners were still students and didn't graduate til this year (check their linkedin profiles). Surprisingly even a Max the Mutt student got in and now a permanent on-staff Ubi concept artist. If you know that school's less than stellar reputation....you'd probably also come to the conclussion that you don't… -
Re: [Riot Creative Contest 2017] Lary Kummer
Reply by Kumator · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - Environment Art@Enexus : Thanks man. So, the execution being the most important point for the judgement, I'd like to keep it as optimised as possible and only keep the visible faces. Based on that, it's also important to show the best of every props in the scene - some of them are really skewed with the perspective on my actual concept… -
Re: Prolific Pirate Pimping Post!
Badass! I would make his face a little more "piratey", maybe the flames could form a beard and a pirate hat could be floating above his head. And rough up the suit a bit, he looks like he just got a finely tailored suit from the cleaners, rather than being an undead scourge of the seas! Just a few crits, otherwise I always… -
Re: Heroes Thread
I guess everybody missed the names of the 3 downed agents. "Whitman, Price & Holiday" which is just another homage from The Running Man. "Whitman, Price & Hadad...last seasons Winners" "No...Last seasons...losers!" Yeah the Sylar teleporting power was a little surprising. As for any powers he picked up in the first season,… -
Re: How would you rig or animate an opening wired panel
Oh...Missed the Unity part. Soz. I know nothing about Unity TBH I think Vig's idea of two bones for the back and door sounds like a winner. Depends how much detail you want to get into the animation of the wires. This way will be great for just stretching the wires out but they won't swing or dangle really. Having said… -
