Re: My Year Long Trek
Yeah, that's a good point. Those indentations don't help the silhouette any either. I guess I'll leave them out then! On that note... I still have a hard time drawing the line between how low to really make in-game assets. Obviously it depends on the platform and other variables, but a few of my buddies received critiques… -
Re: [WIP] 2005 Renault Clio RenaultSport 182
Hi Simon! I can see this is what you were talking about when you replied to my thread, the shelby cobra one. What I can see here is that your geometry is not as clean as it can be. Focus on making your polygons squared and try to make very regular topology such as this: The front part (which is the one I focused on the… -
Re: Not Your Average Software Debate
I have the same question but without the big packages like Max or Maya. The price is no option. I have used Maya alot in the history and liked the Polygon Modelling approach. Yes it was not perfect from the tools and the bevel results are spawns from the deeper hell but i liked the spacebar radial menü and the approach for… -
Re: My First Head Sculpt, input/help
Hmmm, I don't remember, but don't worry about what level it is! Just press Ctrl-D as you feel you need more detail, or should I say polygon density... you know what I mean X] Remember that if you're working with higher poly mesh, you already have more detail in level 0, so level 2 would already have plenty of detail, but… -
Re: Best program for making levels/landscapes?
Thanks for posting your workflow vig, that really helps a lot. I really like the b/w heightmap and the ability to see it change in real time. Also the ability to paint the tree map, and the vertex painting feature are exactly what I need. It also sounds like it would be a hell of a lot faster than what im doing now. Until… -
Re: WIP Gym / Training Center
What is weird about it? That got to be the way it is because I didn't feel like chopping up all the polygons when extruding the stairs. So I just edge extruded the last edge and made single poly stairs coming out of the raised part. Then I made that concrete bit to cover up the sides, and it raised all the way up to where… -
Re: Demoreel: Environment &Props
Your reel was missing your name at the start. It should be the first thing people see. I think there were FAR too many polygons in your LODs. For your third lod of 3k It really should have been under 1000. Thats the whole point of Lods, to really make a significant leap in model detail. That lod will be about 40 pixels… -
Re: Toy-like Rocket ship WIP
All the extra loops on the cylinders (where they aren't actually affecting the silhouette) aren't adding anything to the mesh whatsoever. I'd start off by deleting those. The "fins" also appear to be adding a lot of unnecessary geometry, but that can largely depend on what you plan on using this particular model for. If… -
Re: fritz' ? of the day: painting out normal map seams
1) Clone the polygons touching the seam. 2) Re UV the polygons that you've cloned onto a map thats larger than the original. 3) apply a push mod of 0.1 to the cloned faces. 4) render to texture (diffuse) and throw that in photoshop. 5) you'll see your seam in the rendered texture just paint it out with a clone brush. 6)… -
Re: normal map workflow question
As for tris in your basemesh, I never have that in ZBrush. It's not optimal, but I always subdivide my basemesh once before bringing it into ZBrush, removing all the triangles. This isn't perfect since the resulting 3-pole can and usually does cause pinching, but it is acceptable in areas where it matters less (armpits,…
