Re: A question for the hard surface / asset modelers in the game industry.
Hello poopipe!! As Ravel said, clean topology doesn´t mean always quads. It is good to use quads because this are the ones that work better when using a subdivision modifier. Besides, using quads is going to save your life when making loops and support edges because it is clear for the program where to set the vertices… -
Re: Zbrush unable to load model and is out of disk space
It could be that you have alot going in your file, so ZB is having a hard-time loading it properly (EI: a dozen layers, with colors maybe, saved masks, etc?) Please note that sometimes these stuff, if they occupy the same vertices won't make your file bigger, BUT they will require a large memory pool to work and be loaded… -
Re: Zbrush Decimator vs 3ds Optimize / Pro-Optimize
Hey, just came about this thread through google(was looking for st else though, more of a poly reducer not a decimat'or per se), decided to revive this to point a few things about ProOptimizer and also MultiRes, especifically about masking, you can pass them a vertex sub-object selection and tell them to not operate on… -
Re: Blender's objects & shading
i wouldn't bother trying to uv unwrap or edit models in blender 2.49 in this case. i would just look for a way to import finished models with seams, uvs and everything to 2.49 and export them from there. the steps that you really have to do in 2.49 might be a little tedious to do, though (assuming for example that you have… -
Re: From displacement to mesh workflow?
As long as the UV exactly matches the borders of the plane, it should tile the same as the texture. Yes you need to subdivide, if you want to export to your custom game engine. However without realtime tesselation, the vertex count will need to be limited like every other regular mesh asset in your scene... the engine has… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Cult of the Spider - Praetus
Another thread to watch :) In your latest pic there's something off about the face, it might be the hair leading the eye away from the throne on the left, maybe try with it coming straight down? Also, pure personal opinion, but I'd suggest that instead of having the spider poking through a hole in the wall maybe have it… -
Re: displacement map looks as if the mesh is faceted-unlonted lines,3ds max
if you are making a disp map for lowpoly then that is how it is suppose to look. have you tested it on something like marmoset toolbag ? generally the disp map for lowpoly is the difference in height between the lowpoly and the subdivided highpoly. so the height map would be brighter in between vertices/edges which is what… -
Re: ZBrush Critique ~First Post on Polycount
Welcome to Polycount. Just from what I am able to see, it looks like you're depending on your orthographic views. Frankly, it's tough to provide any meaningful advice with just a front view of your sculpt because it's difficult to judge the forms. It might help to provide a 3/4 view of the front and rear with perspective… -
Re: Project B.E.A.S.T. - Cyworg
Progress update - I added Beauty's bag of tools and gave him a smile. I'm aiming to have him looking down at the bag fondly, grateful to Beauty for tinkering and making him more than a beast. I still want to add a vertical element to break up the horizontal lines from his side view. Either with a chain/rope wrapping around… -
Re: [UE4] Modular Building Set Breakdown
I have 3 other questions: A) Why did you model vertical edges on these trim pieces? (red circles) Wouldn't that make it not as modular as one without edges?) B) how did you bake the separate high poly pieces into 1 flat plane? Did you bake out each separate high-poly onto separate flat planes and then combine the separate…
