Re: 3D Bese Mesh (famale)
in terms of a sculpting basemesh, there's little need to add detail anywhere, all you really want is a clean quadded model with evenly spaced polygons, that will allow you to add all the necessary detail. There's no need to define anything such as the belly button, nipples etc, as they're easily sculpted in, and doing so… -
Re: Roller CAT
pretty cool man- nice presentation. although I wish some of the details (bolts) had deeper information in the normals. Also some of the edge treatment seems non existent. I know in some of the ref you posted, the vehicle has some really clean, un-chipped edges. The problem with following ref like this, and subsequently not… -
Re: So we're making a game...
If you put the edge where i suggested you'd save yourself 2 polygons at every angle = 8 polys and theres no difference in shape, infact; due to the way you've added them, its not become a crude misshapen lectern.... You can have triangles too! Hence why I chose there. I suggest you UVW map that lectern rather then… -
Re: Low poly base mesh, what are you priorities?
Thx Eric! I think I get what you are saying about the groin topology, but just to be sure: - You are saying they have different polygon density across the groin section. - You are saying the vertical edges concentrate at the groin (front and back). - You are saying the horizontal edges bend up on the sides. I run into 2… -
Re: Will you look at the topology of my first hard surface game asset?
Hello, First of all, awesome work :) It's looking great! On the magazine, if you really want to keep the ridge going down the middle of it, you could do the following: Blue lines add edge loops, red line delete edge. You need to just watch out for 5 (or more) sided faces known as ngons, you don't want any of those. As you… -
Re: Revelli's stuffs
Thanks for the comments. With midpoly cars like this one i would say that using sub-d meshes as a base is quite easy. Just imagine you would have to use poly by poly modeling, traditionaly where you create new polygon, then you divide it to many more and move them around. Would be insane to do 30+k polygons smoothly. Good… -
Re: Quake 3 turns 10 years old - has technology advanced as you once thought it might?
I think part of the issue is the over-hyping of technology when it is a few years off. I remember five years ago seeing stuff that was going to be 'next-gen' that had WAY higher polygon counts and texture sizes than we actually have at this point. The idea that characters would have 50k polygons and 4k textures as a… -
Re: Itsa bike!
Malus: haha, thanks? :P ShadowFox: cool bike! different design though, I went for more of a "Honda CBR 600 RR" look oukruk: cheers! yeah should be fun doing bakes o_O vcool: haha OrganizedChaos: ta! lurking is so easy though HandSandwich: thanks!! AutospySoldier: yeah that's what I thought when making it too! had to double… -
Re: LODs - Does the number of LODs impact performance?
I'd say this is always up to testing. Bc your ideal count is somewhere between 0 and infinite you have to balance two (main) factors: 1. Reduce Polygone / Texture budged on screen 2. Don't reduce visual quality You have to understand that your model (whatever LOD-level it is) is only at a certain distance perfectly using… -
Re: Mirror's Edge Subway
What Juniez said. The days of worrying about those few extra polygons to get a nice round curve are over. Just bombard that geometry with polygons until it looks nice and round. The pipe on the bottom left looks a bit strange, it's almost like you manually rotated half of it then tried to create a bend yourself. Let the…
