Re: My First...
My crits: 1. Uneven polygon distribution; exspecially at the upper torsomuscles and the butt you have used way to many polygons to describe the shape compared to other areas. 2. The backside of the upper torso is too bulky. 3. Some areas (legs,feet etc) seem 'clothed' while the rest seems naked. 4. the polygons that seem… -
Re: diffuse, specular, normal maps all the time!?
Budgets will always be there, and i'm agree with you, they matter a lot. But just wanted to say that with the hardware we have (not all ppl) we have better and better budgets to get nicer things. We should not be always with the same budgets (1500-3000 polygons and 1024 textures). That's all. To know how work the SSS… -
Re: MODO 701 - Vertex Normal Toolkit
Vertex Normal Toolkit v2.61 is out; http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=83&t=77919 - Added option to sum the weights of coplanar polygons for area weighting, also exposed a tolerance value for it. - Added option to harden polygon UV boundaries. This acts differently to the harden edge UV boundaries,… -
Re: [WIP] [UE4] Modular Vehicle Vol. 2
Day 10. Bake is done. First of all, I manually exploded game ready and high poly meshes in Blender to prevent any baking artifacts. I exported 8 vehicle parts (each part exists in a separate collection, like cabin or turret). Then I used Marmoset Toolbag 3 to bake Normal/Curvature/AO/World space/Position/Thickness maps,… -
Re: 3D Mesh Formats - Face-Centric or Point-Centric - Pro and Contra
Vertices are the fundamental building blocks of polygonal 3D. Polygons are really little more than just a set of indices into a vertex array. I don't really understand what you mean by being face centric, it's not efficient for each polygon to uniquely carry around the full information of each vertex that makes it up.… -
Re: Various game models
I think the polygon counts on these are actually totally fine for current gen games, considering the size of them. Polygon counts change from project to project anyway and they are always increasing, so I don't think the exact polygon count on your assets matters as much. What really matters instead is polygon… -
Re: Turn a Cylinder to a Tube.
Modifier Method 1. Select and delete the polygons on the ends of the cylinder. 2. Go the the modifier dropdown menu and select the "Shell" modifier to apply it to the cylinder. 3. Set the "Outer Amount" spinner to 0 and adjust the "Inner Amount" spinner of the modifier to what you want. Poly Modeling Method 1. Select the… -
Re: Interchangeable UV maps. Possible?
Try making multiple UV sets for the same surface. Each UV set can have the target polygons with different UV's. I'd recommend, for mixing and matching 'parts,' to separate these polygons entirely, give them a UV set for each different texture (ie, lip scar 1 has the polygon UV's in one place, lip scar 2 in another, etc).… -
Re: New Guy on forums! Some Enviromental WIP's posted
Welcome Joe. You're off to a pretty good start. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of form and shape. You just need a bit of practice in the technical limitations and optimaztions of game modeling. A lot of your models seem to have more polygons then they actually need. Optimizing a mesh so that it takes up as few… -
