Re: (WIP) Character set in Environment
Further update; Regarding the Zbrush issues, I've continued to plod on and retopped her to a lower poly count in Maya, I believe Zbrush had her in the 200/300k poly count but she's now within 12k. I've tried looking for a direct answer to what counts as a mid poly model, from my current knowledge I've known mid to be… -
Re: [Finished!] ComEng V-Set Train.
Hi, small update today. Looking to get feedback on a quick audit of work so far in terms of optimisation & design decisions i've made. I have got the low poly ready for the front undercarriage section, and baked/mapped it out. Looks no different to the previous screenshots as yet, so I don't see much point in posting. That… -
Re: [Finished] Overgrown Crash Environment - UE4
Hello again, thanks for all your input :) Yes, the intention was for the tree to have grown around the capsule after it had settled, rather than hitting the bulls-eye perfectly. I realise in hindsight that making one side of the tree thicker/denser as its source root would better communicate this, a la this image: I did… -
Re: Art steps you hate in your Pipeline.
Some animators use it for skin weighting, and I open it up like once a month if there's something I cannot do as easily in Maya. It is barely used though, and slowly being removed from the pipeline. The triangulation problem really only applies to UE4 visualization. Well, these characters certainly show the infamous… -
Re: Portfolio ass kicking time :)
Ditch the massive footer image. Not only is it 50k of useless information, it's a fixed size and it's massive (1203x171 pixels? What if you're looking at this site on a screen/window less than 1203 pixels across?) that's a big no-no in web development. Your site should be able to adapt fairly cleanly to any aspect ratio or… -
Re: Sphere and box reflection probes, when do I use them?
Based on my experience, it seems like you'll notice a performance hit faster with the larger resolutions and fewer actors before you would with a ton of actors at 128 pixel resolution. But that's texture memory and not directly related to just the probes, I've just never had any other issues with them. DX11 has a limit of… -
Re: ASIDE FROM VIDEOGAMES AND ART, what makes you happy in life?
I don't play TF2... actually I don't have a truly favorite game I play all the time. I was heavily into StarCraft for a short time (before realizing that not only do I suck, but I will always suck when playing online unless I play the game 24/7 like they do). I do love Portal, but that game doesn't have much replay value.… -
Re: Zbrush to PBR Workflow & Limitations
^ I really hate to say this but i am in the boat of very low memory and i have to separate a LOT of tools and export them all one at a time is horrendous. Seems your under-powered laptop suffers a bit from the same? Would go the route of exporting and working on each item separately in it's own .ztl file before exporting,… -
Re: Churchill Mark IV - Intro to 3D Modelling First Year Project
The road wheels really seem to be eating up an excessive number of polygons. I'd leave the top of the cylinders as solid, with the normal map supplying the more complex geometry. Depending on the final scene, you can probably limit them to cylinders with 8 or at most 12 sides, rather than the 20 you are currently using.… -
Re: [UE4] Playable Sci-Fi Environment (Space Station) Project
After designing the whole station, I went back to detailing the hangar. The deadline for my school’s assignment is tomorrow, so I try to focus on the most important parts. This is why only the main area of the hangar is detailed. I have even designed the doors in order for them to work properly, however there is still…
