Re: What can I get from community college programs?
That's the route I went. The good thing about most community colleges is how easy they are. You will have the necessary time to really grind out your personal learning. Just make sure your being guided by the good people of polycount, sometimes its easy to get off track when your learning by yourself and you see all these… -
Re: Final result of a 3 month long project. And it's not over yet.
Very cool I can tell you've spent a lot of time on this one! Getting it in game with animations will be very rewarding. . . At this point in your process, I would love to see some more material break ups, especially between the character and the suit. The metal is reading well but the dark blue suit with wrinkles could… -
Texel Density w/ Detail Maps
We've recently decided to go from Tiling textures to Unwrapped Textures w/ Detail Maps to get more model-specific variation at a lower texture cost. The thing I can't get my head around though is how to ensure consistent Texel Density. Currently, I've set an arbitrary Texel density based on an image size and a real-world… -
Re: Ysalex Anatomy Practice Thread (nsfw)
Thanks guys. Mr Significant - Not sure to be honest, there have been some discussion around the forums recently about whether it is best to start off learning zbrush, or start off learning the more technical 'bread and butter' skills like poly modeling (is that what you mean by 'theory'? or did you mean like anatomy… -
Re: Timeless Art
Yup! This is a good set of goals to aim for :D Interesting perspective. I think we are seeing a change though where film/ vr/ video games are having a much deeper impact on culture across the globe. Think Mario or Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. Or Even Last of Us etc... It makes sense considering the size of the games… -
Re: 3ds Max Rigs:: Wire Parameters offset and Constraint conflicts
Ok, I am almost done! This thread has taught me so much. So here is what I got and the two things I have yet to figure out.

Re: UV Errors on UDK Import
The error your getting sounds like it referring to your UV2 in max (uv1 in UDK). Collapsing the stack wont have anything to do with it. Max works well with modifiers (cough max fanboy cough) Before you export, double check your uv's by adding 2 unwrap UVW mods on it. One set to 1 and the other set to 2. On your second one,… -
Re: How to texture this lowpoly building?
As Obscura says, look up seamless textures. Seamless means that when you put two of them immediately next to each other they don't have a sharp "seam", i.e. they blend together. You can make a quick test seamless texture in Photoshop by using Filter > Render > Clouds. Apply this image to a plane in max/maya/unreal/wherever… -
Re: Victorian House Scene (WIP)
It looks good so far. You probably havent had much time to mess with the lighting but right now its not doing your piece any justice. It looks like you have environment fog turned on and its set to brown which kind of kills your silhouette. Im not sure what type of setting youre going for in your final image but at the… -
Re: H&K G3A3 Rifle
I'm actually on two LCD monitors, one 23in. Asus at stock settings and another 21in. Asus, the 21in. has had it's brightness lowered to match the brightness of the 23in. monitor (I bought the 21in. monitor in 2009, and the 23. monitor last month, so the settings are pretty different from one another). I have been wondering…
