Re: Make Quads out of a Ngon flat face on a static game mesh, yes or no ? ( No Subd, no bake )
I think what he means is creating meshes to have good triangulation. This means avoiding fans and long thin polygons. Back in the old days polygons were sorted using their centers. Not using a per pixel depth buffer. So you would get something called z-fighting where polygons would 'pop' and draw in front of polygons they… -
Re: Character "Lilian"
Since I spent yesterday trying to get this to work right (the unit script still doesn't work right, the missiles were supposed to come out of the darker parts on the front section) I haven't done much with the model yet, just implemented the earier crits: Longer shins, eyes slightly lower and forward, larger hands, changed… -
Re: Low Poly Buildings
If you have a lot of overlapping geometry, that means you have a lot of texture space that goes wasted, because it's hidden behind other geometry. Overlapping geometry saves polygons, building things in saves texture space. Also, if you build the doors and windows in, you can just make one of each on the texture and unwrap… -
Re: Really need help with this. UVs and Zbrush.
If you want to bake the normal map for the low res I wouldn't worry too much about having the ZBrush version mapped. Just lay out the UVs for the low polygon, and then bake the map in xNormal. If you want to paint the axe in ZBrush, providing you have enough polygon density, you can paint directly on the polygons and use… -
Re: RTS unit modeling
I dont have any love at all for the first model, but the second one - LOVE it! :D there are a bit of wasted reduntant polygons around the crotch, feels kinda busy you know.. also a few vertexes in the face which could be merged and still retain shape. and, instead use those polygons on making another segment on the neck,… -
Re: Why do some people sink geometry into the objects, and some are merging vertex together?
I usually merge meshes together wherever I can but there are a few exceptions. Reasons for merging vertexes: * Merged vertexes are much easier to bake maps from as you don't have overlapping geometry on the lowpoly. This is a big time saver and produces much cleaner bakes. * Merged vertexes have fewer visible hard edges.… -
Re: Unreal Engine 5, Download Early Access
I made a little demonstration video about micropolygons for people who don't understand it yet. I see a lof of "pseudovolumetric" and "voxel" and "claylike" here. And actually it isn't really like that. I had to skip one step because I didn't know how to do it, but this doesn't really change the outcome. My one has some… -
Re: Dynamesh problems, weird wavy lines
What JedTheKrampus said. Basically, If you have really long, thin polygons, you'll still have really long, thin polygons if you simply subdivide. Dynamesh essentially replaces your mesh with a new one containing evenly sized polygons so when you sculpt you get an even amount of detail across your entire mesh. It's not… -
Re: 3ds Max 2017 line subobj ring selection problem...
So I was having a similar issue when trying to Shit+LMB on a polygon to get a polygon loop selected. It was no longer working for polygons or verts. But if I collapsed my modifer stack down to an "editable poly" it would work fine. If I ever add an "Edit Poly" modifier on top of that it will stop working again - despite… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Dragan Mergelmeier - Environment Artist / Prop Artist
polygon residue detected Oh and i think you can let polygon count as the triangle count u kno triangles are polygons and chances are in game dev when you hear polygon cont they mean the tri-sided type.(so no need to list how many quads and ngons you have) So are you afraid of a game engine like udk, cryengine because i see…
