I'm no character artist but 12000 tris for this shape is definitely too much. Wherever there's a form that doesn't bend you can think about collapsing the edgeloops there (except if it supports a certain silhouette). I think you could get a similar result in form and style with half the amount of tris. For the hand have a…
has anyone seen what the recent trend is in japanese RPGs? Look at the release lists for 360, ps3, wii and DS... I'd say a good 80% of all RPGs has gone to the DS because which games do most oldschool gamers enjoy most? FF6 or FF12? Let's leave remakes out of this equation. The JP game market doesn't care about poly…
Marmoset? http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=61346 Ok, I misunderstood your presentation, I should have understood that the model had 100% self ilum on it. But are you trying to learn how to do "nextgen" stuff, or continue on DS stuff which a more realistic tone? My point is just that I'm confused how you want to…
Hello, all! I am part of a small group currently in search of an assistant 3D modeler to help our own modeler with our game project. The game in question (dubbed "Project Treasure") is a dungeon crawler (with emphasis on collection) with city sim aspects (similar to games that level up facilities). We have taken…
I ended up picking up some extra cash and going for the i7, even though many people have told me that hyperthreading isn't used by many applications. I just have a hard time believing that hyperthreading wouldn't help at all, and it sounds like you're running the same intensity of programs I'm planning on using so even…
So the third project: Memories and Nostalgia. We are supposed to recreate an environment or character from one of the games we loved to play as a child. I will be making the Queen of Gleeba, Voluptua. She is one of the characters of Dragon Quest IX. This series is one of my favorites from my childhood. I played it so much…
Wingednosering: Well now it does! :D Nathdevlin: Layout - Good! 2D - Yes, I agree, I should make some new 2D art thats displays more of a finished product 3D - Good thing you pointed that out! My next project will be architectural and some more vegetation Thank you for your answer, I will send it too some companies with…
Yep, it's 100% Stealing in my eyes. Your example bigjohn doesn't make sense to me I'm afraid. If someone in the uk stole an orange and then a homeless dude willingly takes the orange off the thief, fully knowing that it hasn't been paid for or acquired legitametly. Police would then arrest him to assistance to theft or…
I can't stand it when consoles crap out on me. I had a PS2 that did this all the time, and it was incredibly frustrating. So for me, a stable console is very important. It's one of the reasons why I've always been happy with Nintendo's hardware. As long as it doesn't crash, a 360 is a very solid choice. It's very much…
I don't pirate games, and I honestly don't remember ever pirating games since like gradeschool. Most of the PC games I've boughten recently were purchased through Steam, though I do occasionally sift through the bargain bucket at games stores. I don't much like buying games in specialty game shops like gamestop or whatever…
