Re: Game engines in relation to poly count?
Jocose's right, polycount doesn't seem to be as crucial as texture budgets, fill rate (shader complexity), draw calls/batch calls, and etc. polycount does still come into affect though--having over 32,000 verts can sometimes be a problem (I think it has something to do with storing the verts in a 16bit versus 8 bit).

Re: VR Headset - Which one is the best ?
For straight 1st person on the ground, moving forward and back is generally okay, as is moving in the direction you’re looking. The real killer is yaw - ie, turning with the stick as you would in a 1st person shooter. It always feels unnatural and weird, and that way sickness lies. A while back i did some tests with the… -
Re: About to graduate, heres my Demo Reel!
Looks good, Restroom is awesome. Only thing I noticed is the base for the Gun doesnt have enough loops. Silhouette looks a bit blocky. It might also be worth buying out your weebly site, looks far more professional & your own URL is easier to remember for potential employers. Not sure about the Drop Shadow & Outline on the… -
Re: Questions about starting out as an Environment Artist
Usually whatever the situation necessitates. Images for simple, everyday props can usually just be pulled off of google image search or something. Things that may not necessarily exist in reality, or don't exist in the state you're looking for, would probably be concepted in some way. We've also had artists go out and find… -
Re: Art Standards within an art department?
You have this hang up on modular set pieces like it's a big problem? Every project I've been a part of have had modular pieces with the simple convention I was talking about and there was basically no problems and no enforcement. Also keep in mind, modular pieces are such small, small bit of a game art production pipeline.… -
Re: i require polycount wisdom
Even game-rez looks pretty good these days. We wouldn't even consider hiring someone if they didn't show us normal mapped/spec mapped/light mapped models with a good silhouette. And what's with all of the character recommendations? There's a lot more work to be had in environments and effects. If I were going to do it all… -
Re: Selling unfinished Stormtrooper armor
Ahh.. This suit is made by "TrooperExpert" or TE. He's a prop maker dude. Its the most accurate set of armor out there. Some pics of finished suits look like they are right out of the movie. As well they should be since the Helmet was moulded after a screen used ANH helmet, and the armor moulded from a ROTJ set. The Suit… -
Re: best shaders.
to clear up a few things: -if you have max 2011 with the hotfix or max 2012, you can use the official "qualified" normals fix with any compatible shader. both this and 3point's solutions look identical, but it's a true fix by autodesk rather than a bolt-on to max like 3point's modifier. xoliulshader supports this and lets… -
Re: [WIP] Monster Science Lab -UDK-
SirCalalot - thanks for the tips, I didn't know that stuff about how udk compiles the image with tiledshot, I will try using the shot command, I have a funny feeling that I will just end up doing printscreen for the final screenshots. (also glad you like the highpoly :D ) i also come with a new problem, I want to put… -
Re: "X-Ray" Outlines in Blender Cycles (and Unity)? (and other shader-related questions)
Hi. The texture on that shirt seems to be mapped with screen \ window coordinates: instead of you mapping the shirt by hand to make UV coordinates with seams etc., you map it directly in your vertex or pixel shader based on the screen coordinates of the shirt pixels. -…
