Hey all.. I know the title of this thread sounds ridiculous and you're probably thinking "What the? WHY?".. but let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish, if I can. I'm working on a Troll ceature for a baldur's gate mod and I finally got around to starting work on it's hair.. I'm generally not a fan of using alpha'd…
EDIT: I apologize for that extra blank frame that is in between every loop. If anyone ends up going to the hospital because of it......I'll try to get rid of it later tonight. ~.~ Trucking along~ Doodeedaaa~ I've some early blocking stages of what I'm looking at for both Gaghor and Tandel. There's tons of room for…
My strings don't often go out of tune but i'm real lazy when they do and can't be arsed tuning them back to correct pitch. I mostly play through heavy distortion so it's no biggy but it got me thinking, is there a guitar out there which tunes the strings to the correct pitch whilst playing? The idea i've got in my head is…
First of all could you post some wireframes of your highpoly gun mesh? Secondly you seem to have some pinching near the hammer of your gun. You can fix this in your highpoly by rerouting some edges. This link will problably give you enough info to solve that problem: http://www.per128.com/pages_tutorials/index.html Third,…
Hello and welcome :) Your front page doesn't feel like a portfolio but the pitch for why someone should hire your company to do something. But you're not a company... You have a lot of text explaining what the different 3D disciplines are. This is a total waste of space - anyone looking at your portfolio is from one of…

More importantly: It has a lot of practical uses for many of us here at Polycount:* Instantly share images, no…
Arman, Due to many people having issues with the sandbag part of our Photo Real test, we've updated/revised the test a bit. The new restrictions are listed on our website. www.bigsandwichgames.com I'm an old schooler, and the purpose of our test was to see how people could 'think' when handling extremely low poly / texture…
Hey Everyone, I’m upgrading to the 21” Cintiq and need to sell my 15” one so if anyone is interested here are the details. Model: PL550 Cintiq 15x Platform: PC/MAC/UNIX It comes with all the cables, pen, pen stand, the basic adjustable stand, as well as the ergo arm I purchased for it. It’s an awesome addition to anyones…
It sounds lazy but its actually more efficient and quicker for loading/unloading. The way it was explained to me (by crazybutcher) it's easier when loading, to park a texture in unused spot and call it good. Rather than search each container for 32x128px worth space. Its also easier to cull un-used textures regardless of…
You can retopo with the Ribbons Tool under Freeform IIRC or use this: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-retopo Although my opinion is you don't really need to retopo anything. Just pop in a cylinder in the scene, make a hole in the middle, and line it up as closesly to the mesh as you can so that it covers the…
