Warhammer Dreadnought W.I.P
Ok I said I wanted to create a War hammer style piece, I chose the dreadnought 4k so I found alot of reference and I have begun modelling the piece. I have created a good proportion of it and I feel I need some feedback so I can stay on the straight and narrow making sure I take this piece in the right direction. I am… -
Duplicate and slide edge tool (As seen in Modo) in Maya?
Hello guys! I created my Polycount profile today and just wanted to start by asking a question in regards to duplicating edges along polygon faces in Maya. In Modo, the slide edge tool also has a duplication feature which allows users to duplicate the selected edge(s) and slide them along the face(s) that they're connected… -
Expert opinions - 3D Max - Skin vs Physique?
Hi All Having recently purchased a book by two of the guys from Panzar Studios (3DS Max 6 Animation With Character Studio 4 And Plug-ins), I came across htis snippet from the start of chapter 5 : In the latest version of character studio, Physique has more features than Skin, but they are more effective only on models with… -
Re: Modeling Reel
Hey, here are some things I've picked up from your reel; 1) As an enviro artist, start showing stills on ArtStation, not on a reel. 2) The wood grain in all your texturing doesn't run with the mesh, or doesn't run the right way. 3) You're either not beveling or your bevels are way too small. 4) The amount of polygons that… -
Re: How to create low poly of hair and unwrap it???
Turns high poly to low poly Sort of automatic retopology. From the website: Polygon Cruncher general features 3ds Max modifierPolygon Cruncher is very fast and can handle million of polygons It reduces clerverly the number of faces of your model up to 80% keeping all details Once optimization has been computed, you can… -
Re: Ngons for assets in UE4?
By clicking the 'turn' button.... :) If you add a 'turn to poly mod', check 'limit polygon size', set it to 3. Now go down the stack to your base editable poly, enable 'show end result', edge sub-object selection, and use either 'edit tri' or 'turn' to change the way hidden edges are oriented. (Hidden edges are always… -
Re: What's the Best Way to to make Filigree and Ornamental 3D Objects?
I think you might be mixing up what support loops [in-line edges/control loops] actually are. They pertain to sub-divisional modeling(your high-res mesh) and how the smoothing algorithm interprets the surface based on the topology of the polygonal mesh. They are generally used to control how soft/hard an internal/external… -
Re: First Next Gen character
18K is pushing it quite at bit. Especially for as simple as the character basically is. Uncharted is the only game I know of (besides some of the tournament fighting games) that goes that high or higher. This is a thread that gives the polygon counts for different games regarding characters and such. It would be good for… -
Re: [UE4] Forest Path
I would keep it, right now it looks a little too just green, but I would also COVER that bitch with a mix of grass planes and smaller veg models. Look at some screenshots of how we did it on farcry, there are hundreds of thousands of foliage polys on screen at once. make your scatter meshes optimized of course but dont be… -
Re: First real attempt at environment modelling. Looking for feedback.
Hey Shea! Good stuff so far, any plans to do the interior? Polygon count is pretty subjective, limitations can change with platforms, engines, styles, and the models respective importance to an entire scene. That being said, what is important is that we demonstrate the ability to maintain a models shape and silhouette…
