Re: Did polycount get a steroid injection this last month or so?
I think its because we're surrounded by top notch artists like yourself mr Johnstone :P I gotta say that I've been really impressed with Adam Brome's work as of late, I mean his work is constant inspiration material for me, but that Facade Challenge entry he did, blew me away, same as with EricV's. So yuh, I think… -
Need help finding a clever tip I saw on polycount.
A while back I came across a handy method posted by someone which was about wrapping cloth around a sword handle, the method involved attaching one end of the cloth to the handle and then animating the handle to spin, effectively letting gravity do all of the work for you. I've tried extensive google/polycount searches but… -
PNGs suck on Polycount
Our forum software currently has a problem with PNG files. If you attach one to your post, the server will attempt to re-compress the file, but it will do a horrible job so the file size gets really large. Large image files make your threads very slow to load. This is especially bad for those viewing on mobile, since often… -
Re: State of the polycount, Summer 2008
Gotta say Ro, I've been about these parts, as an active member and a semi lurker and been noticing an upwards curve in how things are going :D the new boards, once gotten used to, work just right and Adam's not broken anything so I think all's cool :D I have noticed that the forums have been getting more harsh at times,… -
Re: Current "normal" polycounts & texture sizes
Really depends on what style you are going for. If you want to make something on the realistic side then don't worry too much about polycounts. I believe I read that for Second Son they would render something like 3 million polygons for the Environment chunks. For portfolio work you aren't so much as trying to show… -
apart from polycount what other forums could be useful for finding people to collaborate with?
as it seems like I will be 'out of work' for some time I thought I'd put my energy into a game idea which could also contribute to my portfolio. while I know how to model stuff I know nothing about coding and im keen to collaborate with other people to make something which can benefit everyone involved (and maybe it will… -

We've teased it now for a few days and today we're finally ready to announce our next contest: the VG REMIX! Brought to you by Polycount & Sketchfab, the VG REMIX is a short, 3-week long contest where artists will create lowpoly dioramas of a scene from one their favourite videogames.

Re: So long Polycount. I leave you with thanks and the longest thread in PC history
yeah take some time off, it does a body good. :) I stopped looking for and applying for game jobs. I went back to IT and having a blast, playing games again and still love looking at polycount and what's coming out of it, still not really touched my portfolio again yet, but I will even if it's just for indie things and… -
Re: Polycount to Professors: Ngons Are Useful!
I think this is the problem. In all my school programs I've been in, I've never been taught edge loops. We're always told to just "maintain quads" and avoid "n-gons." The rest of the course was just modeling different objects every day with a goal of "efficiency" and "different tools". I have to look on Polycount wiki when…
