Re: Question : The Ideal Portfolio - The Do's and Don'ts
sometimes I get a feeling recruiters don't even look at your resume or portfolio, they just want to get a pool of people and shotgun blast them at every studio they can - I get contacted by recruiters that say "hey I saw your portfolio, I have a client that's doing a AAA, next gen, military shooter and you'd be a perfect… -
Re: 3dmotive - Creating Foliage For UDK
I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for this. Thank you to 3DMotive and Damien for creating this, I've been one of the ones who've requested a tutorial on foliage from you guys and I'm genuinely pleased to see it finally happen! I think current-gen foliage is definitely one of the most lacking areas in terms… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
I agree with hardening the edges,it would use a lot of geo (well more than it should) as it also makes it unrealistic. I would say go low on the geo but honestly with next gen consoles coming out polycounts are not as important as your textures. So if I could say anything, I'd find a way to re-use the texture from that on… -
Re: Returning to 3D - First time on Polycount
Thanks @Alemja ! I really appreciate the feedback :) I didn't consider asking myself "What game would use this?". Rookie mistake! Actually, I love painting textures, they used to be my favorite part. But I was told that new-gen/realistic games all only use photos, and that painted textures only applied to stylized, or… -
Re: gun modeling help
Plane or cube. I've not seen racer's original tut (I'm watching his sci-fi cart as I'm typing :D ) so I don't know how much detail it goes into on modelling. Maybe it would be better to grab a really basic tutorial on gun modelling first. Follow that, get your head around modelling and get comfortable with that before you… -
Re: Triangle counts for assets from various videogames
Pretty much what McGreed said. I'm actually quite surprised by Grayson from Bulletstorm. While his character model is incredibly beautiful looking, I didn't think a current-gen game would have such a high tri count for a single character, especially considering how many characters can be on-screen at once in that game. Of… -
Re: Drinking fountain feedback
Its good to optimize meshes regardless. In next gen games, the poly count doesn't matter as much, especially for "star" pieces like for example the main character.However for a fountain, that's not a star piece, so try and keep it lower. I will post again with a picture what I think would be good for geo divisions. But… -
Re: Tribes Ascend
the gen has a huge effect on defense for 1 reason. the radar, when upgraded to mk4, it lets your def and HoF see people coming in from miles away and prepare for it. also @ambershee mines work with no power, and motion sensors do sap engery, the problem is that a capper on a good route doesn't need energy right after a… -
Re: [deleted]
Mmmm next gen isn't about the poly count. I think if a studio hit a poly count of 80k on one of their characters it's probably because they needed to. You should only use the polys you need to use, I bet you could cut that poly count down by over 70% and it would still look the same. I like her design though, reminds me of… -
Re: Arthur Ramazanov WoW style Environment WIP
yeah that's a problem for me - seeing that I am not as experienced with UDK and never even touched unity...I dunno how to get the whole ambient feel within UDK...since I mostly used it for next gen stuff - but I'll give it a try and see if it happens to work well - I was gonna take my winter break to learn UDK but now this…
