Creating alphas out of 3D models or other methods?
I've been messing around with using Alphas to model a bit quicker for large scenes (instead of making a high poly and low poly model and baking), and while I tried to use my own for a while, I found some free ones online that are absolutely AMAZING. They have perfect gradients, they have perfect grey values, and so much… -
Does anyone have any test models or sources for such?
I'm working on a game engine from absolute scratch, using D3D9, Assimp and Bullet physics. I've so far got D3D9 and Assimp functional but I'm unable to play around with anything because I don't have any models I can use to check if every things working. I made a basic mesh only model and yes it renders fine, but I need a… -
A question for the hard surface / asset modelers in the game industry.
First, excuse my english (it's not my first language). For all you guys that work mostly with non organic objects (hard surface, asset, environment ), I have a question: It's required at your job to model with clean topology in subdivison surfaces for your hi poly, or you have the choice to model more freely (booleans,… -
Glass modeling
Quick noob question. How does one model glass for use in games,Do you just model a flat plane and texture that or would you give it depth by extruding it and texturing both sides? Not sure what the norm is when set up in a game engine. For example, something like the glass of a clock face or something like the image below: -
Modeling Timelapses?
Are there any uses for modeling time lapses? I'm not thinking for tutorials as I've found out the footage is to long and to fast for that; purely for enjoyment and sharing of ideas. But do people watch them of have any interest in watching them? Does anyone have any experience in sharing timelapses? Is there a better… -
Re: Modeling: Maya Vs. Max
For modeling both are extremely similar in how they work; I think it really boils down to the individual because I hear people on both sides of the fence arguing which one is better. The apps outside of Maya and Max are where you really start to see a departure from typical workflow, such as Modo or XSI. I would honestly… -
Atn: War40k Modellers/Riggers/Anims for DoW !
We're looking for remote people like yourself who use 3dsmax for modelling, rigging, or animating (mostly the first two). I am screening for people and once I find them I send them to the 3d gurus currently working on the various Dawn of War Modding projects. These "gurus" will have no problem communicating with you on… -

Cloth modelling headaches
Hi, I am a junior 3d artist, working in games. A lot of the work I do now revolves around making characters and therefore, clothing too. Some questions I just can't seem to find an answer to, need someone to point me in the right direction. 1. Should my model be a single object - I was told it's easier for the rigger this… -
is 6 textures too much for one model?
Hey guys, i just needed some help on texture effeciency. I have a model i'm working on, its is some sort of saw mill portable mission, you could say its a mech, and its detailed at like 40k tris, and in scale its pretty big. I am uv mapping it and i ended up making 6 different uv maps. Is this too much for the model?…
