Re: Roflcopter
"- the model should have less than 30k polygons (in other words, the models should be made so that you can have a lot of them in game " Is pretty much the punch line. Compare to screenshots from TA Spring (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots.php) It's an RTS engine, 30k polies is next-next-next-next gen, and then… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto 4 - trailer
HD here: http://rapidshare.com/files/23414191/GTA4_2997HD.rar http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=2512&s=l Impressive. Maybe the res is doing it some favours but colour me impressed, especially given how big the world is in GTA.. for it to have those kind of visuals too. Looks like one of the very few… -
Re: FPV Weapon baking tutorial
Eric, in the last pic, I think that's the lowpoly - he's modelled the divots in after baking the highpoly onto the flat surface, just shows that the object-space normal-map will still hold up after the lowpoly is edited. For a firstperson view model on a current-gen FPS game, modelled detail like that can really help sell… -
Re: Romulan VS Earth WARS = Romulan Wars
Yeah, and also by the by...Berman and Braga didnt get fired. They put Manny Coto, a staff writer, into a producing position to help them out. For me? I've liked the series since episode one. Sure the theme song was kinda sucky...and then they made it worse. And a couple episodes have been stinkers, but all the series had… -
Re: relief mapping
[ QUOTE ] Can this tech be used on characters, or best left on static objects? [/ QUOTE ] We used it on our next gen game on the main character (a demon), and to tell you the truth, on television resolution, in a 3rd person game, it just wasn't worth it. So we took it out. For a first person game, on large environment… -
Re: Its hard to get hold of a PS5
I wasn't even aware that the PS4 was to be discontinued already. In past generations they kept making the previous gen for a long time. Heck, I bought a new PS2 from the store in 2012, six years after the PS3's release. Anyway, I think it would be preferable to keep making the PS4 Pro instead of the original console. Looks… -
Re: Help-Low POly Bus...
Just out of curiosity, why aren't you going for a high to low bake? My guess for a low poly bus in most current gen games would be about 15k tris max, but even that is with a lot of help from a normal map. Things like the front grill, details on the lights, trim around the windows, detail on your wheels, all come from a… -
Re: having a problem with this Well
Your model is more detailed. I can see some smoothing errors on the edge faces of the shingles and possibly the top of the brick as well. If this is meant to be a current-gen portfolio asset it should have a high poly sculpt with baked normals or at least sculpted tiling textures and some vertex painting, the… -
Re: Substance Abuse - When Tessells Attack.
oops, sorry for delay. @rick: hope this is the display you ment (image is supposed to be way bigger, not sure how to make that happen.) @chris89: 1. I think that at this time next year, SD will be one of the top 5 DCC tools for game development. 2. From the consumers point of view, what Allegorithmic brings to the table is… -
Re: Poly count for games!!
that very much depends on the platform, and engine. if youre going mobile, then you want to keep everything as low poly as possible. The last mobile game i worked on had a limit of 256 verts for props and 500 for characters. this was for ipad. current gen console and pc engines are less likely to take a performance hit…
