Re: First semi-successful NM bake with some questions
Some feedback - I'll try not to sound like a perfectionistic, nagging old hag: The UV layout could've been optimised by quite a lot actually. Check the picture here: http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/6889/e00c.jpg The yellow, orange, magenta and rose shells are identical pairs, and thus should be flipped/mirrored and… -

Re: I'm new around here but I'd love to get some feedback on my work.
Hey, Jimi! Welcome. Ok, couple of things that i can say you can improve: You can significantly optimize your low poly models. Some things, like the bullets: you can eliminate some loops at the round part of them, while still mantaining a good silhouette. They are small, and you can get away with less "roundness". You can… -
(Some of) the Weapons of Bioshock 2
Vincent Joyau - along time member of Polycount - recently shared with me some of his creations for Bioshock 2.

What a perfect combination to… -

Re: Need some advice regarding laptops for 3d work
I've seen laptops for ~1200 euros (and that's including 16% VAT) that come with a better CPU, more RAM (compared to the cheaper Sager model), more HD, etc. Only the graphics card isn't top of the line but rather average (X700s and 6600GT/6800s these days, always a generation behind the current stuff) and the screen is… -
Need some help properly setting up UV's in 3dsMax
Hi there, I got a question on how to go about getting the UV's for a "complex" object to resemble the 3d model as close as possible. As you can see in the picture below the "railing" consists out of 3 parts: 1. The pillars (red lines) 2. Squares to support the pillars (blue lines) 3. Main support ledges (black lines) I… -

Having some trouble baking my normal maps from hi to lo poly in Blender. Any advice?
Trying to bake my first hi poly to lo poly sculpt normal maps and things are coming out wonky. I made the low poly mesh by remeshing it in Instant Remesh, and then decimating it further using a Decimate Mod in Blender. It's not pretty topology but it was a fast way to do things and I've seen similar things done online etc,… -
Re: Viking Huscarl - Need some C & C - Judge me!

As suggested, get some angle on the belt, tighten it up so you get a bit of an arc on his back. Pull the legs back a bit and add som mass to his lower legs here's a quick ´n…
