Re: Polycount Study Group C
Oniram : Seems like you've got a lot of unneeded edges, and its hellishly messy which could make UV mapping harder than it needs to be. Also your poly distribution is bad, you've got a cap on the side near the front thats got a lot of edges whilst there is other areas closer to the butt that look quite lowpoly. Also avoid… -
Re: really cool explanation about piracy
Interesting stuff, I've always like their videos. Having been taking a module in media law myself, it kind of ties in a bit with the stuff I've been reading as of late. Also, not quite sure what Turbosmooth of BigJohn are trying to get at. But with their points aside, I really don't see what the confusion is. Legally:… -
Re: Sketchbook: Assassin0323
Thanks a lot Assassin it looks like I can get some amazing texture out of that brush. One of the brushes I've used in creating stone work is the mallet brush. It's very similar to what you're saying only it used the Drag Dot stroke which forces you to actually hammer away at the model like you have a mallet. I've found you… -

Re: Modable games?
I've found that very few games support the plug-in-player style of character modding these days. It really is a shame. After all, that mechanic is what Polycount itself is based off of. Naturally, Polycount has expanded to include all manner of game-related art. But in the beginning, it was the Quake II Player Model Pack.… -
Re: Getting an embossed effect with intricate designs on hard surfaces?
If you want to go the displacement route, you could do some height map generation in photoshop using color ramps in layer effects. See this: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/36343/how-to-create-a-realistic-bevel-effect-on-text-in-photoshop With different settings you could end up with something like this… -
Re: Ue4 - Terrain Mesh Normal Blending with Virtual Textures Guide!
No... create a master material as found in this tutorial video and you'll be golden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u-HdkJ3woE You can get results similar to that found from the OP but without having to switch Distance Fields on. TBH, if you're working on a large open world, then you'll probably have DF's on to help… -
Re: [Finished] Lonely God
Thanks for the feedback @DavidCruz I would like to try Marvelous designer, however last time I tried to use it, it was painfully slow. I probably needed to play around with memory and graphics settings to improve the performance. I will definitely look to try it with future sculpts :) For now, I plan to hand sculpt the… -
Re: Does anyone want to make a study group?
Rawr, all these random sites and groups going up without us actually deciding what's best first :P I predict this will change several more times before it's finalized and by that time half of us will have lost interest and this idea will have lost steam and credibility. This is so much simpler than you're all making it out… -
Re: Vertex-Blending - Transitonal Masking
Thanks again guys, much appreciate for all the information, just on question however, I tried all the different setup's and it seems like the Instruction counts (at least in UDK) doesn't change, is there any other performance 'hints' I should be looking out for? Now, forward! Also, new issues, kinda... When I use a mask…
