Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Confusing thread is confusing :D To the OP : - Alright, so we have established that there is no "then" VS "now" in regards to polygon modeling - it's all been the same for 20+ years. So these screenshots of the Gollum and Kratos wireframes are hardly relevant. - No sculpting is needed in order to get a high detailled look… -
Re: Getting a weird artifact on the Iray render
Unrelated to this specific issue, but if this is a game prop, I would also present (and preview) it rendered in real-time (Unreal, Unity, ...). -
Re: Blue Dot: A 3Lateral Showcase of MetaHuman Animator
I prefer Unity, it's a still pain, but not quite as much a pain as UE5 whch does not even open on my machine. they are also making great strides in photrealism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TWJCd_ithg i think this actually looks better -
Re: HELP:Getting Started
It's best to dedicate yourself to only a single project at one time, and picking that project is determined by what kind of area of the industry you'd like to focus on. One thing you should do before starting a project is outlining the list of skills you'd like to improve on or learn upon completion of the project. In… -
Re: Beginner Question about game character modelling!
The wiki is a great place to start learning things! http://wiki.polycount.com/ The mesh that goes in-game is not subdivided/smoothed. For most modern game characters, a high resolution model is created with many millions of polygons using a combination of a 3d modeling package (ie, 3ds Max, Maya, Modo) and a sculpting… -
Re: The cost of a texture "draw call"? (Quantity vs Resolution)
I can do better than estimate. I set up a quick Unity project with the AUG model from CS:GO, which has 16274 triangles and 8840 verts in Blender. By default the mesh has 1 UV channel. Importing it with 1 UV channel shows a vertex count of 12553 verts, 16274 triangles. Profiling the scene shows a mesh memory usage of 1.0 MB… -
Re: Level editors
You know what, I totally agree. Using a browser based software renderer, you can't start fussing around with perfect z sorting, it's ridiculous. I think it's equally ridiculous to have realtime lighting, cutting down an already small polygon budget to like 20% of what it would be with just baked textures :D I'm sure you've… -
Re: Are there positions for level designers who aren't artists?
You can always make stuff for current games if you have the time, and depending on what the genre is. IE if you're into multiplayer level design, you could always try making some TF2/CS:GO/natural-selection 2/Unreal Tournament/Quake/ etc. maps and getting them out there as well as putting links to them on your website. I'd… -
Re: a gigantic sigh. This industry is destroying my well being.
Drop this attitude man. The moment an artist starts to think too much of himself, that is the moment he stops getting better. Always think that you are one step behind top artists and that you will work hard to catch up with them. There will always be someone better than you. Regarding your portfolio: I see you can use… -
Re: BRAWL2 [Character] Aiur survivor, shark2003
Hey! Thank you for your comment. Lurkers are one of my favorite units. I'm still a zerg boy after all these years. I've updated the concept and grounded a little bit more. Still a lot more to think about.
