In summary... It is awesome to make it as low as possible and still make it look like a highpoly. :poly142: Don't just add geo cuz it is next gen and the cool thing to do.
Long overdue bump =) Im gonna call the highpoly done asside from wepons and coin purse. Those are still needing to be done. onto lowpoly! cheers and beers
this is looking really good ! but why not put it in doom 3 or something ? right now it doesnt seem very game like, it seems lowpoly rendered with highpoly techniques :S
Hey Johnwoo, its interesting to note that the H2 developpers seemed to use fully handpainted normalmaps instead of highpoly bakes. Do you have more info on the subject?
Alright, done with the highpoly unless anyone spots something they'd like to point out. My apologies for the height of the floating holes, looks kind of nasty from an angle.
Thanks, Moosey_G> No normal maps yet. Prophecies> Here's the reference I was working from. I was considering creating a highpoly detail mesh to take a normal map from.
It may well be what Taylor said. Do you have a screenshot of your lowpoly and highpoly meshes interacting (from Maya or blender or whatever program you're using).
Hey :) so i just finished the Highpoly :) Right now im working on the Lowpoly :) Next update will be the Lowpoly with normal maps baked c&c is very welcome!
