Re: What constitutes a low-poly model?
Yeah pratically the amount of polys ( better say tris ) are dictated by the technical limitations of the console or PC where the game will run. You usually take a look at your mesh from the distance that will be viewed at and you start removing polygons accordingly. I advise you to take a look at this table here to get a… -
Re: So....What now? (Need advice)
Yes. For whatever it's worth your modeling/texture work seems good (I would highly suggest you remove the barbarian at the bottom though...) but your designs are weak, I'd suggest either working off someone else's character designs or try to push the detail/interest in yours a lot further. At the moment you have a lot of… -
Re: Samus Aran
There's a fair bit of wasted geometry on the shoulders and the helmet. The hips look a little weird as well. Might I suggest checking out some screenshots from the metroid prime series? A good tricount? that's tough to say. current gen I believe is about 10,000-15,000 for a main character, unless you're thinking the wii,… -
Re: Cinematic Effects in Source
See thats what "next gen" is all about, making your shit look as good as movies by useing the same things they use but in real time. They dont have super high res models, or overdone normal maps, they have full screen shaders that give it the look of a movie. You dont need meshsmooth to make the kids go "Oh oh i want… -
Re: Good sites for keeping up with game engine tech
Do a search for SIGGRAPH; it's /the/ gfx conference where all the latest algorythms get press, including the acedemic-won't-be-included-in-games-in-years plus the will-be-included-in-the-next-gen-engines tech debuts. You gotta pay for the conference notes from the siggraph site, but I guess any site which at least mentions… -

Re: UED3 Version with AEGIA PhysX card
It's PC gaming. The excitement of new technology, and the ability o brag or view the best of the best settings in games etc. 300$ is'nt bad for new tech. I can barely touch/push the PPU limits vs the rendering power of a 7800 gtx on my box. It's pretty easy to say this card will scale for a year or so. Not to mention… -
Re: "Self taught" Soon to be past tense?
The problem is that who assigns the standards, and does this mean that accredation is the realm of schools, or the realm of previous employers, companies, or "testing" and Certifying being the realm of recruiters? Also depending on the companies development pipeline, the requirements would be widely varied. Job… -
Re: Call of Duty Ads Called Misleading
[ QUOTE ] I was pretty surprised at the whole fuss to be honest, I thought it was pretty obviously pre-rendered footage.. I agree it should be spelled out to the general public though [/ QUOTE ] indeed. i overheard some people in my school talking about "wow did you see that commercial for call of duty those graphics are… -
Re: Mechanical SUB-D tips and tricks
Thanks for the tips guys! Next can you tell me the theory behind modeling a cube and making it next gen game ready? Floaty bits don't cut it for renders where the model cast shadows, as well the uv's are a mess with all these floaty bits over lapping in the uv space. I realize you are trying to represent with some game…
