You could try Xnormal, it handles high poly meshes really well. Also newer versions of 3dsmax like 2008-09 have been modified to handle higher poly counts. You could also break the mesh into pieces and bake each piece. But really I think you answered your own questions, and I'd probably not push the high poly that high…
Definitely fun. I picked this up as well, but almost didn't. I think the fact that I saw Grin's logo on the back pushed me to give it a shot. They definitely do some great work. They did right by Bionic Commando Rearmed so I felt that they earned some trust from me. Like you said it's really short from what I've heard so…

Hi all, Thought i'd give this challenge a go. Entering Alone as i quite fancied doing something similar for a while. I'm going with a Dwarven Throne (I know, I know) I wan't to push for what i would consider is Dwarven; scale, grandeur, wealth, geometric. I'm aiming on a theme crossed between LOTR and Warhammer. The Throne…
I think this model looks solid - but I completely understand reworking something until it loses all creative meaning and interest. It happens to me frequently. I don't know if there's any golden bullet answer to these kinds of creative habits, but I find I work best within parameters and deadlines. When the sky is the…
The recycling bin has realllllly sharp corners, and the wheels aren't round. The texturing is too clean. Your city block looks about PS2 era. The stun gun is really basic shapes with a crazy amount of topology. As was mentioned above, you have a bit of a journey ahead of you. This is not a bad thing. I wouldn't suggest…
Yeah what Crazyfool said. It's good. But it feels like they crammed 3 movies into one. They rushed it so much that his character changes literally overnight. It could have been an entire movie in and of itself, which in my opinion would have rocked. BTW, I really dislike the original Thor design. I think they dropped the…
alphajayel - no you dont :) just make something cool. be it a sketch, a sculpt a model, whatever you can think off great stuff everyone :) lets try and get some constructive crits going so to help people out. It was a problem with the daily sculpts a few years back where people dropped stuff in but had nothing to say on…
I've had a minor back surgery, thus a month of silence Also, I hate the blockout stage, constantly trying to get things right, stalling into constant micro-tweaks, which often turn out for worse Nevertheless, pushing on!
