I'm not sure how common it would be, but we've used a ZPritner 450 and currently a Dimension 1200es, and both allow for non-continuous meshes. You just have to keep in mind that if it isn't connecting in the 3d mesh, it's not going to be connected when it prints. In some cases you actually need to make the model…
Why not make it easy? http://www.neilblevins.com/soulburnscripts/soulburnscripts.htm Neil Blevins (soulburn) has an awesome spline painting script. You basically pick an object and paint a spline on it. Super great to do things like this. http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/ You can also play around with…
Made an NPC for Jane to fight. He is still in the early stages at the moment but I got to where I am by quickly using a new method. Rather then using two orthos to model from I made a character in make human and then used him as a 3D reference as I box modeled around him. Then I baked a render of the make human mesh onto…
Yeah I picked it up after class got over at 10pm last night and started playing after I got home around 11:45ish and didn't end until about 6:30 in the morning. Man that game is awesome. I was mainly just getting orbs and seeing where I could go. I made it to the top of the Agent Tower. Hit me up on live if anyone wants to…
Vig thank you so much for that link. I lost it years ago. I LOVE that site. I've had a fascination with abandoned buildings and vehicles for a long time. It began when our car broke down on a family trip and I found an old abandoned school bus down the road in the trees. I went inside and found all kinds of interesting…
This is a completely nonsensical question. What sort of game? * You don't spend 1000 triangles on a weapon for an RTS game on the DS. * You spend well over 3000 triangles on a character mesh for an XBox360 beat 'em up. * Call of Duty 4 has about 4500 triangles in their highest LOD player model, and up to 2000 triangles in…
Thanks. Just a quick in game shot, I think the reason it's so bright is because it's really close to a light that is full bright. If I carry it into a darker area it tones down alot. I'm not going to add any more polys though, the handle is a little rough I agree, but it's already around 450+ polys. I know I could get by…
