Re: 8FtSpider's Landmate......
I dont know i could see that polycount as in in game model, just as long as it was 80 feet tall and only one or two were ever on screen at once. Just make sure that you make a few good tiling textures with different paint colors and keep those small. Like 4 diffrent colors at 512 texture size. Just keep in mind your… -
Re: Modeling the place I work. (Updated 6-30)
The big shortcut for quickly mapping buildings and the like with tiling textures is to use UV projectors instead of a hand unwrap and stitch. I don't know the specifics if your modeling package, but in Max you would us a Cube UV map, and then adjust the cube so it is using the proper scale for your pixel density (IE if you… -
Re: Boathouse - Massive Harry Dongs
Hey cody, Looks like a fun little project! Aside from the horizontal edge loop removal, I think its a good block out so far. It might just be me, but maybe using a single 512 map for a small prop in the scene might be a little over the top. Perhaps a 256 would work just as well in the long run. What do you think? Can't… -
Re: desert raver WIP
So Im finally ready to put this one into the portfolio as well, final count is 2972 tris, 2 512 maps. If you see anything that could be improved, please tell me! cheers! new images -
Re: Guardhouse building
@WhiteEagle - Thanks, the textures are 90% photo sourced, with many different layers. There's some painting involved but it's mostly just to clean up the textures used. @Chris - Cheers, yeah good idea about weathering the rock levels, sometimes you forget the more subtle details when dealing with the whole picture. I'll… -
Re: Day of Defeat's out
That's why I liked in back in 2000. Cause it was far more strategic than Counter-Strike.. You really had to fight with a bit of common sense, rather than being able to own with a quick connection. Turret Points, Prone, Stamina, Greater Weapon Variety (which they've added about 8 new weapons from the original 12.. a bit of… -
Re: game character bust
Whats with the very dark hair? Give it some highlights of white,brown and blue. For a 512x512 texture I would expect a little more fine details. Give the face,jacket and shirt a little more texture and it will be perfect. Other then that it looks good. -
Re: Object Instancing in game engines
[ QUOTE ] Wuh? Isn't that the exact opposite of what instancing is for? Surely if you have, say, a tree model and instance it, you can't possibly save any texture memory since it's going to have to load the same texture regardless of if you have 1 or 100 of the trees on screen at once... instancing won't help you save… -
Re: Windows 7 Beta
I like Windows and OSX both the same, but I will say this: I installed the latest version of OSX on a 400mhz G4 with 512mb RAM and it ran beautifully, including the visual effects. I've also heard stories of people installing Windows 7 on old pieces of shit and it running very well, too. -
Re: Max>Zbrush workflow?
Without exagerating, redoing those uv's properly should be a manner of minutes, so if it's not, you could always use the practice ;) I understand if you just want to test the workflow, but since you're stuck at this point anyway, it's a good moment to have another go at the uvs. You'll be surprised what you'll learn if you…
