Re: Modified MP5
"It's supposed to go with the character in the concept art. Which according to what my friend said is supposed to be a goofy character." the thing is , the gun itself makes no sense whatsoever, it just feels "wrong". The aditions you made could contribute to a character development, but right now comes off more as… -
Re: lowpoly pixel art aesthetic
For such a low poly asset, you have 2 things that really matters: the silouhette of the object, and the texture. I think the silouhette is pretty self-explanatory, so lets talk about texture! First of all, you want to make sure your asset as proper values (the center of interest should generally be brighter than things of… -
Re: Xbox 360 console has the quality improved enough?
Thats because the PS3 is a total WHORE to setup correctly Justin. Go into your PS3 options and set the max res to 720p, and yes, you will need to switch these around every time you want to play a game and whatever... I still can't believe they did it that way... But anyway yeah, it will display perfectly for you. I have a… -
Re: Character Models LOD
Basically, try to avoid anything that makes the silhouette drastically change between two neighbouring LODs. Deleting edges on UV border is bad news too. Tangent space normal maps can be surprisingly robust at a distance, but still try to avoid introducing really big changes in vertex normal direction. As you get to the… -
Re: Do quads matter when detaching to element?
Sorry if this offends your intelligence, let me explain to you why its fine, in a simple example. You may need to open the gif in a new tab, it doesn't cycle here on Polycount for me. In the example above, there are two separate cubes. I selected both of them and combined them into one solid mesh. However, this doesn't… -
Re: Building a workstation for home, need input
OMG SSD YES At home on my workstation I have a 4x 30gb SSD stripe (got them for $100 each off ebay), with a traditional platter drive for backup (more reliable) storage. The SSD stripe makes for INSANE performance with a multi core processor - as an example I can click my 3ds max icon, and max is open and ready to go… -
Re: Buffalo taxi, character advice/feedback appreciated
@EVF ah, I see. Well if thats the case I would really try to push that. if they firefly is emitting so strong light, you wont really be able to see any detail from it, its like staring into a lamp, you can barely make out the form. also, night time is usually really low contrast and de-saturated, sometimes we ad a blue… -
Re: Yo... booo!
my modelling technique was strongly influenced after seeing b1ll'$ model wips for the first time, for which i am very thankful. it not only was an attractive way to model, at times i can think quicker while modeling this way by thinking in planes and profiles, rather than carving from a block. it also enabled me to react… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
I've had long long discussions with my lead engine coder about this, and he has raised something which I don't think has been mentioned here yet: Having bevels along edges that could otherwise be hard (as in the first toolbox example on this thread), whilst not increasing the vertex count, does lead to quite a lot more… -
Re: Animator Thread, My reel needs a boost!
Your reel looks good. Although I have a few points I'd like to add. What kind of animation are you aiming at? Is it just cartooney or are you looking to do realistic animation as well? Most of the animations in your reel look cartooney even though not all of them are cartooney models. The combine running animation is a…
