How to properly model a bolt action rifle
Hi everybody, I'm new here and also a newbie in 3d modelling despite I've been trying hard to model a gun for a videogame for a long time. This gun is a lebel 1886 M93 rifle, a bolt action rifle which in my opinion, is not that difficult. Nevertheless, I made like 3 models and the last one has been the best one since I was… -
A question about GLSL shaders
Hello all! I'm trying to develop my 3D skills, particularly GLSL, but unfortunately I've gotten a bit stuck as I want to do something that I can't find any online documentation for. I've been a longtime reader of Polycount so I thought I'd sign up and see if I could get any assistance from the community :) Within my shader… -
[UE4]Scifi Reactor Room
Something i've been working on over the last couple months as a personal side project. My original plan was to create the scene based on this concept from Seneca Menard: http://i.imgur.com/3raJP4f.jpg After doing the blockout and first couple mockup props it felt a bit too crammed and claustrophobic to me so i redesigned… -
Maya : Rotate pivot point problem
To my fellow maya polycounters: I've been having this really weird issue since I've upgraded to maya 2015. Let's say I have a poly object, and I'm selecting a few vertices, edges or faces. If I'm using move, the pivot point is centered where those verts are, if I'm using scale, it's also acting that way ( the correct… -
[PAID] Animated sprites for a cricket sports game
Hi all, I'm working on a cricket sports game (www.cricketheroes.co.za) and have finally uploaded a website with an initial demo download (I say "initial" but I really mean beta). Unfortunately, the sprites in the game are rubbish at the moment to say the least. I have a little bit of money lying around and was wondering if… -
Re: Character Texel Size Optimisation Question
I think you have the right idea. Some amount of distortion is inevitable in these areas. One thing you can do is take advantage of pinning vertices (hotkey P). Pinned verts hold their position when you unwrap. Typically use as few as necessary to stay sane. But on a face, for example, starting with what you already have, I… -
Re: Shading issue...
Yeah, judging from the wireframe: * too many edges * edges/cylinder segments on the inare not evenly spaced, ruining the curvature already * edges are not lining up with the perpendicular cylinder edges Depending what this mesh is used for (offline rendering? game art? highpoly/sub-d model to be baked down?), just start… -
Re: Environment Art Portfolio Critique
@Ashervisalis I tried to copy your format of showing a model from different angles, but I couldn't get Marmoset to show only one of the models with a wireframe, so I used Photoshop to put the images together. Is there a better way to do this? When I built the meshes for the library scene I was under the false impression… -
Re: How long would it take to make a online game like this?
Ian Hubert is another example. He's worked as a VFX supervisor and also has years of experience using Blender (I remember him saying 15+ years). Apart from a couple of models (a crab model and a mural art) that were made by other artists, as well as the live action elements, he produced all of what's seen below (the… -
Re: Boolean low poly geomtry - is this acceptable?
For your low res, it's acceptable, but you'd still want to avoid having a couple of things that could cause uv/baking issues. You'd wanna avoid having a certain triangulation in your mesh that creates an obtuse angled polygon. For instance, if you were to remove the highlighted edge that you've correctly got there, you'd…
