Re: Serious Games, List of Games/Simulators
Thanks again, I love polycount, so many great ideas and thoughts on the subject. I am at 21 thousand words on my research paper today, only 5-6 thousand more and I'm done..... well I will have a few months of tightening it up. I just need to get my Unity 3D medical simulator looking good through a web browser and I'm done.… -

Re: A Bunch of Time Saving Tools for Blender (Free)
@jaker3278 That's awesome, I made that switch last year too. If you have any issues let me know.

Re: Art Rip? - Check to see if you have your work here
Hello Members of the Polycount Forum, I am the author of the article and first of all I would just like to apologize for my ignorance.

Re: [3Ds Max] Japanese Temple Game Level
I agree the lighting looks weird. Of course in a 3d enviro you're always gonna have 'bad angles'. But for a static shot you can achieve a 'perfect angle'. Right now it's really bright and suggests daytime, but your skybox suggests night time. Also, seems like the light is coming from right behind the player, which makes it…
