Hello, How can i be sure a low poly props/assets i'm modeling are not too heavy? for example - if i model a ww2 helmet how can i be sure what polycount is fine ? if it's 12k low poly then it's probably too much ? which is not ok for games? but does it means it's useless completely? can it be used for example in cinematics?…
Aloha, Working on some human teeth and trying to balance shape/form with shading, polycount, and texturing. Here's where I'm at: (XSI phong with diff, normal, and spec maps...1 spot light with specular and 3 low-power fills without specular) Anyone have some nice techniques or tips they'd care to share? (not going for…
Hey guys, Looking to start arranging the next london polycount meetup. I'm thinking of hiring a small conference room at a hotel somewhere, so that we're guaranteed a meeting place and drinking hole and more importantly, we won't be drowned out by rowdy locals. So i'm just curious if there's any interest in this. looking…
I looked through the FAQ as best I could, but I didn't really find what I was looking for. My questions are these: Can I have one thread linked to multiple sections of the Polycount forum? Ex. Can I have one thread linked to 3D art, UDK discussion and Sketchbook, so that anyone one those will all see the same thing? Or do…
I don't have facebook. Crazy in this day and age I know, I just don't want that type of distraction when I'm on the computer all day. Polycount distracts me enough, heh. But in a good way at least. I was thinking your gf was really cool and into 3d modeling also. I always wished my gf was into 3d modeling like me. :( Looks…

There's a lot of great ideas coming out for the TF2: Polycount Pack contest and its only been TWO weeks. With the deadline 22 days away its going to a lot of fun and very inspiring to witness all the new creations as they pop up in the Contest forum. This time around we'll keep it short & sweet with 3 entries from week 2:…
Hey, Just curious if anyone knows any other forums that are remotely as active as PC. I wanna cross post some of my work, since usually whenever I post stuff on here it gets buried/ignored (which is fine, I understand not every post is going to get a ton of attention) and I kind of need all the critique I can get so I can…
So it always struck me as quite silly that there haven't been more/if any SoCal Polycount meetups. With so many studios here from LA all the way down to San Diego it would seem perfect to have a great big meetup once in a while. So I was thinking why not follow in the footsteps of others and get a winter holiday meetup…
