Re: Face sculpting
There is alot of musculature you are missing. The bone structure is too strong around the jaw and not strong enough in areas like the brow. The example is stylized and the features are enlarged while the skull is small in comparison which suggests youth. In Blender you can set up an image plane and place the front and side… -
Re: Most Efficient Way to Render Ready Game Models
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the… -
Re: My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching
The main problem with this method, or a similar method someone else posted a while ago(where they take the lowpoly and bevel edges to create the high, but keep the silhouette the same to avoid waviness) is that your edges will always look like jagged lowpoly models. When you get some slight waviness in there, it will at… -
Re: anisotropy on separate UV islands
As Neox suggested, you could try overriding the tangents in Substance, using a spiral gradient. As an example, here's one I made for glTF's anisotropy: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/blob/main/Models/AnisotropyBarnLamp/README.md#anisotropy-directions -
url forwarding?
hey guys, I have a question that the web gurus here may be able to help with. Perfect example is polycount itself. I always punch in "boards.polycount.net" and it redirects to "polycount.com/forum" How is this done specifically? I know about .htaccess 301 commands, but I cant seem to grasp how to tell it to use a… -

Re: Lack of direction.
Congrats on diving in and making it through, I would call it a successful test, so congrats! =) However that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement... 1) There are a lot of similar materials applied to unique UV shells. They could be stacked fairly easily and allow you to pack more pixels on each face without… -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Just to add my tuppence worth : Watch your over-use of similes. Not everything has to be "like" something. Strip it back, edit the hell out of it. For example : "A trio of figures, fiery eyes smouldering, stood frozen in a titanic shadow that engulfed the land. " Metaphor tends to be shorter and better than simile, so use… -
Re: Company of Heroes - Modern Combat [Mod]
Here is an exclusive preview of one big ass gun, the M-109 Paladin. The Paladin self-propelled artillery fires 155 mm shells to clear out stationary targets. It will be available for the US Forces as part of the Armoured Warfare Doctrine. In a short video we want to show you how the Paladin does it's job ingame, we hope… -
Re: Server Room WIP
First, I would check your light map resolutions are high enough, then create a LightVolume and shape it to where you want the light to be dominant. Then make a really bright light and in the ExclusionVolumes list in the lights properties put the volumes name. This will restrict the light to the area set in the volume, play…
