I totally agree @PixelMasher that is one of the main reasons that I joined polycount, so I can start getting in conversation with a lot of people in the community. At the very least that way they may be able to match a face to a screen name at a meetup or convention. I know I'm going to meeting a lot of people at GDC this…
It's going to DoW however we wanted to make better characters than Relic and of course I hope, we've succeeded. I have no wireframes unfortunately for you but the polycount is around 100 polies higher than the standard polycount of normal DoW characters and they use the same size of textures. Flats as requested: And by the…
1.Alex 8323. Breen 6629. Barney 5922. Everyone else around 4700-5200. 2. Airboat 5944. Buggy 5824 3. Guns (with arms) around 1500-3200 (crossbow and .357 cal). Gordons arms are 1976 polys, but you only see them once when he flexes his fingers after getting the suit. Some of the weapons only includes one arm which definatly…
My problem is myself and my frequent motivation drops/call into question. At first I was super excited about learning CG and drawing, as I come from no artistic background, usual geek low-grades highschooler playing counter strike all night. Discovering all the softwares and possibilities in first year of CG school was a…
Yeah I encounter this kind of thing often, like when I had to stop working on my reel to go to Walmart and work there for 40 plus hrs a week and then go home and find out my sister wants to jack up my rent even more and then I find out I have to dish out 200 bucks to buy new tires for my car in order for it to just start…
seriously Atraider ...I don't know what kind of background you have or how long you've been trying, but I've been modelling for about, 7-8 years now (the first two years of which weren't really serious). I'm only just NOW getting (if I may boast a bit) quality models that are close, equal to, or better than game quality…
Welcome to Polycount :) Intersecting geometry is usually ok. Non welded geometry is ok in 99% of the game engines out there. Deleting faces not seen by the player is ok. Rather than rely on booleans or pro-booleans you should learn how to merge up different pieces of geometry with the other modeling tools you have…
hey, i like you. i mean, i like-like you. we could 10-minute hug, and i wouldn't even feel weird about it afterward. i'd just smile and feel safe in your strong arms. i mean it! i'm glad polycount exists and glad i'm apart of it. this community has helped me tremendously, over the years i've been apart of it, and wanted to…
Hi folks, I work at Staffs Uni in the UK and we are looking to run our annual industry week (workshops, talks etc..) starting on the 23rd of May. Would any fellow Polycounters like to be involved? We can offer compensation for the talks and travel expenses if folks are interested. Sadly we can't fly folks in from outside…
Hey Polycount! So I'm still a relatively inexperienced modeller. I decided to try my hand though at matching a AAA game. I've always been a fan of non realistic styles, so I decided to try my hands at tackling the Borderlands franchise. I played around obviously with some hard surface and organic stuff, but I feel like I'm…
