Re: Assault Rifle Thoughts
You should post the final images here Max! The rifle seems VERY clean. I can see the details in your flats, but they aren't reading so much in your render. Some more edge wear that's larger in scrapes, some powder marks at the muzzle to seem like it's been fired before. One thing about your render you might wish to adjust… -
Re: UV unwrapping suggestions
That topology isn't very UV friendly. I'm not sure how accurate to the source you want to go, but the main body's lines are vertically straight. It's a bit hard to tell exactly whats going on with the porthole, but I think it should be cut flush to the overall curved surface rather than curving inward. Anyway, here's a… -
Re: THRONE ROOM Mountain PassScampbell
Thanks guys, i will try to keep posting hopefully once a day until i get everything set. and start modeling. Aerashi- Thanks for pointing that out, i think mostly it is a sense of scale issue. any bigger and they would be out of scale when i put props into the scene but i loved your idea of carving the stairs out of the… -
Re: Sci Fi Sniper Rifle
A bunch of the curves that are smooth/continuous in the concept seem to have corners in yours, I would definitely work on eliminating those since they look less aesthetically pleasing and it tends to be a dead give-away of an 'amateurish' model. I can see from the wireframe that this is caused in some cases by you not… -
Re: Level of Detail - what methods to use
Hmm, it's not really about how "complicated" the model is, it's simply about how to render something faster when you can drop details to do so. So if a model renders slowly (tons of vertices, tons of shader instructions, tons of alpha blending, tons of bones, etc.) and the camera can move away from it, then it is generally… -
Re: Dead Rising! UDK Scene
Im with Strife. It just seems to me that the whole scene looks too horizontal and vertical. It would be nice if something broke up that square look. Maybe you could have objects in there with more curves and perpendicular lines like hanging wires from a fuse box, broken shelves, tipped oil drums, etc. Like those two doors… -
Re: Guides On Creating 3D Game Environtments
Thanks for the good links guys :) Eric - If that cliff is part of the terrain and multi-textured, is it possible to control the orientation of the rock texture? For example if the texture was handpainted to have light coming from a specific direction or you wanted cracks to run vertically up and down the cliff face then… -
Re: Fire Hydrant - help with low poly of chains
After the chains. the nuts and bolts are probably consuming the most vertices for the least visual benefit. Depending upon the in-game size and perspective, you can probably eliminate the ones on the base, allowing the normal map to show them. The bolts under edge can probably be eliminated entirely without many people… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Ghost Hunter Lulu
Reply by Skyerzz · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtNice progress on her. She is super cute and i love her design. I do think you can cut down on your tri count. I've been working in mobile for the pass year with a tri limit of 1500 (with facial rigs) and I'm seeing a lot or areas you can save. For example the pockets on her robe don't have much of a silhouette so you can… -
Re: Noobie Mistakes
True but I like to think of it as a theme where the best ones create something unique that hints at sci fi but doesn't look like a generic metal corridor. Take my sci-fi corridor for example which doesn't have metal in sight...well a little :D Regardless the biggest turn off for me is 3D / 2D tabs on a portfolio. As soon…
