Re: what is z brush?
Pogonip: First off: there are demos for programs, so you can try them, and second: i would think that a very large part of the polycounters use pirated software, we just never discuss it. There is often no other way to learn a package, than to pirate it. If you're just getting into 3D, buying max or maya or xsi is really a… -
What kind of vert / triangle count are employers looking for in game ready props?
I'm moving from the 3D printing space to the games industry and have no problem baking the high to low, but I'm having a hard time finding out what "current gen" polycounts actually are. I know it varies between games and objects, etc. but if anyone who knows could attempt to answer it to the best of their ability, I would… -

Re: [WIP][Vehicle][Prop] GAZ 69
Hi Polycount! I have decided to finish this project at last by incorporating photogrammetry for making unique textures of the exterior and interior of the vehicle. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/gaz-69-new-scan-eb3e915c4f054382b5a1a5aa328b96a4 The diffuse color form the Photoshop gives the texture a very unique look - I… -

Re: D9 mech maquette that was on ebay
that's a really really cool maquette. But looking at it something seems wayy off to me. For one, a person couldn't fit in that mech. The proportions seem really off mostly in the legs and arms area. Its pretty fucking cool. but i would not pay 840 for it. I sure there are plently of polycounters around here who could do a… -
Re: Slightly confused: Baking normal maps onto a low-poly object!
http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap Normal maps are complicated at first, took me a long while (and a lot of excellent posts on polycount) before I really understood them, so don't worry if it seems like a lot to think about. Yes you need UV's. Think about what UV's are (2d mapping of your 3d object) and what normal maps… -
Re: Expanding Selections - confused (Photoshop)
Good calls. Got it to work. It was specifically clicking the thumbnails and when to use Ctrl that was throwing me off. What is the difference between Ctrl-click and Ctrl-Shift-click? Thanks much for the help. I was scrambling all over Google, CGTalk and 3D Buzz for help, and Polycount is the only place I found help... at… -
Tool to view all images from a single topic... proposition
A bit of history For the TigSource forums, I created this image view tool: http://daid2.mine.nu/~daid/tigsource_pics/ Which allows you to quickly view all images posted in a single topic. It's great for inspiration, or just finding that one picture you knew exists but lost in a few hundred pages. So what? Now, there is… -
Moving from Max to Maya
Hi Pollycount, I've been using 3ds Max for the past 6 years or so, and I'm about to start university on a 3D modeling and animation for games course. The only thing is that the course uses Maya as it's primary modelling software. I'm unsure what to do as I haven't ventured into Maya at all, but it's looking like my only…
