Re: what is roughly the maximum acceptable tri count for a huge hero asset in a game environment?
Well... To be clear, if you add supportloops to reduce gradients, and bake with that, then your normal will be baked compared to the shading of that so basically if you remove them, youll get errors. You know, when you bake, your baker will take the vertex normals of the lp into account ...For me, adding bevels works fine.… -
Re: Workflow
Yeah if someone ask me my workflow it's like: Study concept, gather additional reference if needed (assuming I'm not designing the thing - if I am: study refs and do design work here) Block out major proportions, save copies to help when generating low Do high poly/detail work sub-d or sculpting in zBrush here depending on… -
Re: Making the Perfect 3D Tutorial Site
Thanks for writing, Asteric! What makes you feel lost in this interface? The more detail you can provide, the better we can bake it into the mocks and implementation Right now I'm focusing on some of the submission pages & login stuff so this is the perfect time to get some more feedback! -
Re: Pirate Fortress WIP [UDK]
Nice work man. Pros_ The hand painted texture work is frieken awesome. Cons_ When baking the AO brake down your object so there is no Black burn over. It helps when making modular assets later. Some times taking a few planks off well expose the AO burn over (black spots) and leads to rework of the texture. If you move you… -
Re: xNormal never works for me!
Yeah like has been said it takes a bit to iron out all the kinks until it becomes a routine. I use Zbrush, 3dmax and xnormal. I never worry about the viewer because I am only interested in the maps. Some stuff that might help. Most of it you are doing already. Export your finished high poly out of Zbrush as an obj, if you… -
Complete Noob PBR workflow and pipeline questions, little help? (long list included)
Hi everyone, Explanation Part: So recently, I've just got back into 3D modelling. Like my old self, I've had only little experience in the texturing process of working in next gen hard surface 3D game asset creation and so far I've only covered these procedures in the low poly to high poly pipeline including: 1. making the… -
Re: GetGear'd - Art-Machine's making a web comic!
Thanks guys :) I know it's not much to judge so far, just trying to give hints of the feel of this comic, without revealing too many key characters/ spoiling. So these will mostly be background plates, and random villagers etc... Oh hay look it's #2 :poly136: I tried to make this comic many times over the years, and… -
Creating organic/pointy models from base meshes?
I'm trying to make a shovel with broken edges. heres a pic as you can see from the reference pic behind the model, there are some pointy and curvy parts to the model. i want to know how to create these parts of the model from the base mesh (in this case, a cylinder and cube) without having ugly smoothing/topology. in this… -
Re: How much time does it take for you?
Still other questions need to be answered first. 1. What time period was this made? Medieval times? WW2, Modern Day, Future? 2. What is it made out of? Wood, Concrete, Metal... 3. Do you go inside? 4. How close do you get to it? 5. How damaged is the structure? 6. Is it abandoned or upkept All important questions to be… -
(Closed)3D Prop Artist looking for a full-time job remotely(Closed)
Hey, my name is George, based in Russia. I'm a 3d artist and I'm looking for full-time job. I can work remotely. I know all the stages of the complete game-ready pipeline, and I used them to create my models in my portfolio. I can model high/low poly, optimize mesh, UV-unwrap, baking from high poly to low poly, PBR…
