To flat planes? not so much, but they are still used quite a bit..you can just export more geo to be thrown at it. You get things like broken tiles which are still mapped to the tiled texture, and rocks/cliffs that were modeled but use tiled texture. I think that for environment stuff, using high poly models is good for…
10K or 11K isn't really an issue at all. Really, as long as you're under budget, its all good. And you will have a target budget for any professional project you're on. Learning how to model your high and your lows to use your poly budget is very important too, and its something that comes with experience. Not only how to…
I have never once needed a resume for doing manual labor. Find some local businesses (some are based out of people's homes). Don't be hesitant to just shoot people emails (though a lot of the older generation prefer a call, all you have to do is ask if they're looking for any more labor). Many local businesses just want…
As always, there's an ideal form and then there's real world. And real world is a b*tch! Here's the point: usually you don't just cut your model's edges into tens of vertices to get a smooth curve. You place some key vertices (like in a bezier curve), some creasing (to keep certain edges sharp), and then you hit the…
Hi there @Carabiner - thanks again for commenting. Here it is again with Toolbag scale ref: Here's the drawing it's based on for context - it's supposed to be some sort of public access data terminal around the same size as a parking meter. I did spend a good time accurately modelling in the 'Hal' inspired spherical detail…
That's a lot of texture data Roball. Keep in mind the more layers you use in the the longer it takes to compile. I have been experimenting for weeks now on trying to find an effective way to texture a reasonably large terrain (1009x1009). Below is the best way I have found to do this using WorldAlignedTextures with…
Oh no study a study said carrots will give me orange skin! But I eat 8 carrots a day! I debunk this study and you should too because of fact A, B and C! Or you know, I could just eat my carrots, not caring weather I get orange skin or not. If and when I get orange skin I can then say, well you can't say they didn't warn…
