Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Heya - About this new handle : IMHO it's really just a matter of looking at the reference in a more investigative manner. "How would this be built in the real world ?" Obviously this would be achieved by carving details over a smooth wooden handle. Meaning that the surfaces that are not carved in will have continuity since… -
Re: closed
Hmm, you wiped the original post. This isn’t great for continuity in a forum setup, because now the replies don’t make much sense. It’s better to keep posts intact, because people learn from each other’s posts. In the future, it is preferred to leave your posts as-is, and add a reply to explain why you’re done with the… -
[WIP] Black-Suit Spiderman
Hi, I am working on creating Black-Suit Spiderman for my portfolio class in college. This thread will document my work in progress (I will update it weekly). I am specifically sculpting Spiderman with a physique similar to the PS4 Spiderman game. Spiderman PS4 Physique by Xavier Coelho-Kostolny, Art Direction: Jacinda… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
amzing info here guys, keep them coming i have a question : since smoothing groups are basically a detaching of faces ( hence the increase of vert count since the verts were duplicated ) if you have one continuous mesh and one with smoothing groups wich one would be faster to render ? my assumption is the continuos since… -
Re: Hominid Project
Okay! First I want to compliment you again on how good it looks! I wouldn't be writing a critique this if your work wasn't this nice, and I'm looking forward your to next pieces. I've got pretty much only anatomy pointers. I tried to color-code so they're easier to read but the text colors are changing once posted, haha.… -
Re: Do you connect meshes or not?
@CptSwing - So its one continuos highpoly. Then you obviously want one continuous lowpoly too. This is why I said it depends on the case. If the 2 boxes wouldn't be merged and wouldn't have soft transition between them, then you could do it with 2 lowpolies without a problem. Thanks for taking the time, but this is just… -
Re: Handling Chamfers in the UV's
Like said, it depends, especially for the chamfers. Do you need cuts for normal maps because of hard edges? What's more visible? How much distortion and size scale changes are you willing to deal with? Personally, I'd probably do something like this: "a" can be straightened out without any distortion, the inner and outer… -
[WIP] Overwatch Widowmaker Fanart Skin
Hello to my fellow polycounters! I’ve been working on a character in the evenings after my day-job, in hopes of pushing my portfolio forwards. In the past I’ve either had a fairly generalist portfolio, or the chosen designs were not visually strong. I’ve reflected a lot lately, and decided to push forwards with a stylized… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Thank you for the honest feedback @pior! You're absolutely right about Waterhouse - he's not in our library yet, which is a genuine oversight. Most likely one of many, but we're adding him to the list and will report as soon as his works are up. It's a fair point that the expectation is to look by an artist name. And if… -
