Re: How to make good lowpoly UV?
Basically you need to understand why Blizzard UVs look like that. They are very straight and aligned to a grid because the texture resolutions are very low and they wanted the pixels to be aligned with the seams. The seams of both of the hands are done very similar to the 2nd image you posted, the only difference between… -
Re: Superbowl
I do hope it's not too cold, I wouldn't want anyone to say Payton lost because of the cold ONLY. Either winning team would deserve the respect. As for the NFCCG, it took a couple years off of me too, I'm hoping I can be more relaxed for this. But it did deliver one of the best plays of Seahawks history, probably just… -
Re: Crunk energy drink
Ely: You need to relax and get crunk with some fantastic Crunk Juice, playa'! Get them pimp muscles flexin' and down a couple pints of the sweet, blinging crunkity crunk flava of of Crunk! Oh yeah, my first post was a joke, as is Lil' John. His awesomeness comes from his complete lack of being awesome. You know, kind of… -
Re: [General Discussion] - XBOX Live gamertags and games
We need to have a polycount Halo 2 game this weekend. Since I know flaagan, The3DGuy, cancel, jeffro, myself and a couple others who have Live have it. Also, r13 and cancel along with 3 or 4 others and i played DOA:U the other night for like 3 hours. A great sit around and relax while you watch other people get their heads… -
Re: UTGAL Help
The arms should be in a relaxed, natural pose - right now they're straight as pokers, that's definitely not gonna help the look of the model, or ease of rigging/animating. Her skirt/loincloth thing seems to have way too many vertical strips of polys, unless you're planning to make it ripple crazily. Good start though - try… -
Re: Male Anatomy Practice
i'm not an expert on anatomy but your model looks a tad off. i hope ur using some good photo reference or books to make sure things are in the right place and proportion to each other. i also think the way u posed ur arms throws me off...u may want to model them in more of a relaxed pose to give a mroe natural look...just… -
Re: Need tips on how to unwrap this model!!!
Hopefully you made that out of splines and remembered to check on auto generate UV's before poly modeling. If not I agree it could be a good candidate for pelt or spline mapping. If you're using 3dsmax you can try peel in renderhjs textools script. You could also auto unwrap it and stitch edges together and relax as you go… -
Re: Choppin' the hair off for job prospects, this necessary?
unless you look and smell like some hobo tramp off the street, what really matters is your portfolio. Obviously if you also look like some catwalk supermodel dude or dudette, that might lean em in your favour as well but based on different reasons than your awesome art or coding skills... relax, be confident and objective… -
Re: getting straight unwrap from pips/cylinders
Usually if I need to straighten out cylinder stuff, especially complex,bendy type stuff (and I was dumb and didn't use a spline and generate uvs) I'll use pelt mapping to get what I want pretty quickly. Just pick the seam where you want the uvs to split, pelt map, relax it, then straighten edges. Usually gets you what you… -
Re: DS 3dviewer
Well, after a 'relaxing' week at GDC, I've had a bit more time to look at this. Porting the conversion code to the DS took more time than I expected, but it's now mostly working. I should have enough time tomorrow to get a working version (with some bugs) out the door that loads OBJ files on the fly rather than needing…
