Paddle Frigate
First project here for me at Polycount. Would really appreciate some solid feedback. This will be a large scale summer project. I'm looking at creating a full paddle frigate and putting it in Unreal eventually. These ships really epitomize the transition from sail power to steam power (they came just before the switch to… -
Re: 3ds Max - Remove Duplicate materials from Multi-sub object
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
I tried to get Chat GPT to modify the script to not only remove duplicate sub-object ids, but also remove them from the mesh, but it wasn't able to sort it out. Maybe someone who knows MaxScript could fix this? ( -- Get the selected object obj = selection[1] -- Ensure the object is valid and has a Multi/Sub-Object material… -
Soap Creative: TankBlasters, Unity3D work in progress experiment
This is actually my very first personal Unity scene and project, but because I am just learning Unity3D I created a scenario and experiment rather than a real or complete game. My basic ideas were to do something in unity that I know how to do in flash and just to play with a theme that I like (grid based board alike game… -
Re: Lorem Ipsum Dolor
Hello, if you got some time, can you try this code? - Original diffuse texture extension is not important. - Diffuse texture should be 'suffixless' or have the same suffix assigned in the script. (i.e. sword.tga or 'sword_DIFF.tga' if _DIFF is the desired suffix name). - Actual files must exist in the same diffuse texture… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
I've spent a couple hours creating some fairly complex functions to determine which vertices are being shared among the different vertex types, but I think I might be making this more complicated that it really is. So I need someone to either varify or disprove the following theory... the magic number we're looking for is… -
Re: flash/ maxscript / 3d: race game project
hmm seems more people responded o_O all and each time a completely new engine from scratch, I don't like complicated, hyped frameworks that suggest to not think about how things are handled. It's a personal thing. I wrote my last engine (no media available, not yet released for public) for a big commercial project and… -
Re: Shader programming: GLSL etc
some stuff is wrong what you just said jkm Cg HLSL GLSLCg was developped by Nvidia, it was the first high-level language for the mass market sorta. In a cooperation project HLSL was made with Microsoft, hence Cg and HLSL are very close codewise, and often no translation is necessary. Cg supports a few more things than the… -
Re: Career focus Tech art or Hard surface
During your hopfully long career, you will have the opportunity to explore and develop a wide arrays of skills and interests. Right now, your job is to leard AND to be a gooh hire. Personally, I would focus on one of them. If both are of equal interest to you, I would choose Houdini because that skill set is more in demand. -
Duplicate of a topic, can be removed
Hello everyone. Few days ago, I opened this thread https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2734111#Comment_2734111 concerning the basic pipeline to follow when you want to make a game asset. I've received the answers I needed to start a project and try to follow the "checklist" of the 3D Game Artist. BUT of course I'm a… -
