In most use cases, mid poly modeled with appropriate detail will serve as both the source and target mesh, without the need for a conventional high to low poly bake workflow. In other words Substance Painter for example, enables the user to self-bake their mesh maps. Anyhow check out these comprehensive tutorials which…
Hey everyone, I’m getting back into 3D modeling after a long break. The last time I touched modeling was in a college elective years ago, and I used Maya back then. Now I see so many people using Blender. I’d like to ask: should I switch to Blender for my current projects? What are the main advantages of Blender compared…
Welcome to Polycount! A good way to learn how to model complex shapes is to give it a try, and post your attempt, like Fabi_G suggested. Then people are more likely to suggest ideas how to improve what you have. For example see How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before…
Not so much an example of good writing as so-bad-it's-good writing. And hey, I'm down with that. Army of Darkness is one of my favourite movies. You want an example of genuinely great writing in a video game? And there have been a few examples, but a game that really grabs you and rubs your face in it and shouts "yeah…
This properly can be done in unity Bildschirmfoto zu 2025-10-28 10-34-04or anyBildschirmfoto zu 2025-10-28 10-34-04 other node based tool.. just use and mix any kind of random object and/or noise and maybe concentrate it into the center or make in tileable in one direction like your third example.. (not using unity myself…
Looking like you have the basic silhouette going, you should consider the polyflow in the face, shoulders, and joints. For example in the elbows and knees consider using carrots to help them collapse better, you can look at a the polycount wiki for examples. Go to category Character> character modeling>topology and look at…
You guys, it's called 'Natural Selection'. Humans that are too stupid to have a good sense of self-preservation must be allowed to exterminate themselves and thus make the human race stronger. Now, if enough people will follow the examples of Tubboy's examples (like the Exxon Board of Directors, for example), maybe we'll…
Truly fascinating stuff. I love how the motion blur (without the added frames) gives a remarkable "high end cinematic" look to the explosion example. As for motion smoothing, I think it would be good to see more NPR examples like the above, as well as perhaps some examples applied to stop motion footage (although I suppose…
Heyall. I'd like to improve my rendering skills. Like using the mentalray SSS shader for example. However I'm finding it difficult to find good tutorials that aren't high level and instead have direct examples of usage. How are you all getting into this stuff? I'm sure there are some awesome tutorials somewhere... I…
The triangular cutouts in the butt plate are too stark. This is the closest example I could find to yours: Take careful note of the edges of the insets; this can probably be handled in the normal map. Also not that the rubber has a distinctly grayish cast. I haven't seen many examples with a brass support for the…
