Butt-Sahib - Because of several reasons. In short: -because the challenge was based on this model -lowpoly people get more detail in their models, with the same budget. -highpoly people learn to prioritize and conserve polygons (this is a skill that some schools forget about) -everyone gets to push themselves a bit more,… -
Re: Rigging Props Advice
Hey @Scotty_Did_Does There are a few ways you can handle this but I will explain the ways I know. Firstly will this be intended for game engine use? If so the easiest solution in general is to have a "Weapon" bone on your actual characters rig, located at 0,0,0. Since this gun looks very simplistic a weapon rig won't be… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
Sorry Perna, not a very good writer :( With radiance's latest post I think I have a concise breakdown now. @radiancef0rge That's what I'm saying.

Re: ScottMichaelH portfolio critique take 3

Your most… -

Re: Rendering your game assets, why not UDK/CryEngine?
I think you people are trying to read too much into something that doesn't exist with too many variables. I have yet to see someone mention for example shadow issues pending on the card type and drivers you might be using with a specific engine (shadows in real-time don't work in Autodesk products on AMD 8xxx series cards… -
Re: UV mapping for terrain techniques?
Well the problem is thats not really how you tile textures at all. Sure you "can" do that but for things tiling textures in the 0 to 1 is not something you do at all. Then again it depends on what type of texture blending you use be it vertex or blend maps. The reason for this is each asset requires a different tiling rate… -
Re: How is 3D-scanning useful for 3D-artists?
there is a lot of ways 3D scanning is useful for Artists and designers of all sorts. i think the uses can be summed up in a few broad catagorys: 1:1 Asset Replication - as others pointed out a lot of studios are utilizing 3d scans to get real world assets into their pipeline from the likenesses of actors and models for…
