Re: Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
To re-examine my late-night sake fueled post. To me, someone without a lot of excess cash to spend on games, when I go to a game store to browse some games, it's like walking into a library where all the books are sealed up. You can't read the first little bit to tell if the writing is good or that you might like the story… -
Re: long 3d game level
the game Hercules instances a lot of graphics (sprites, 3d models [aka prefabs]). Most of such games or engines come often with a custom editor so the level designers can put all the assets together as a level. Think of a level editor just like a DTP (destop publishing) software like InDesign or Quark Xpress. Those… -
Re: [UE4] Drone Alone
This post is about some of the Modo specific tricks and the hero mesh workflow, using this 80's home supercomputer as an example: It was inspired by Minitel and teleprinters. Its function in game is to describe and start the next mission. It is part of my effort to only use narrative UIs: No menu, no HUD, all the… -
Re: PBR Mixed With Normal Textures In One Enviro
It seems like you're coming to some strange conclusions here based on a variety of sources with incomplete information. I would recommend reading the tutorials we wrote for Marmoset Toolbag 2, which cover general PBR theories as well the differences between the specular and metalness workflows:… -
Re: [WIP][UE4] Cat in the Rain (Town Square Environment)
Finished off another few buildings: This one just being a variant of the Cafe, so should be quite quick to texture. Personally I like the placement of the doorknob as-is, as it lines up with where the player's eyes are nicely, but i can always just move it. Also started bringing everything into UE4 in order to… -
Re: Portfolio Critique?
Hey Chelsea, welcome to Polycount! Working up the courage to showcase your work is almost half the battle so it's awesome to see a new face. In addition to what Swarm22 and Zephron mentioned in regards to making your home page a gallery index, I'll add a general (admittedly harsh) feeling: "Too long; didn't read" So what… -
Re: The Zone guard outpost
Hi 3DLee, Its a cool start and is a nice environment to put in your portfolio but i think there are still definately areas you can improve on. - You have a lot of edge transitions where two objects meet which stand out. For example where the house hits the ground the concrete at the bottom would be darker and maybe… -
Re: Time Management (Self learners + College students only)
Just for the benefit of everyone else who wasted their time trying to help Nitewalkr, here's a lovely PM he just sent me; "You failed to understand my thread entirely. I wasnt asking around to see if their answer matches to mine nor I was thinking that it was a dumb question. Because it isnt, just because you think it is.… -
Re: The Dark Knight
I'm glad to see at least one other person wasn't impressed by this movie. Really, if I could completely separate it from a Batman movie and just watch it as something else...I could give it 2.5 stars, maybe 3, but so little of that film made me feel like I was watching a Batman movie. And even if I wasn't, it was just "so… -
Hard Surface Modeling - Standard SubD Modeling VS ZBrush VS Houdini Booleans/VDB
Many months ago I felt that SUBD modeling was really holding me back to produce highly detailed objects/characters/vehicles, like the simple fact of, adding a manifold extrusion would create loops throughout the whole object, I'd spend 2-3 more time dealing with loops and fixing triangles that are messing up with the…
