Re: Modular building parts poly count ¿?
Actually modern hardwares can draw multi-millions of polygons at the screen easily, especially if they are instanced objects, but it is still not recommended to completely rely on geo, because there are many other things in games other than geo. Like vertex transformations with bones, and textures, which are more expensive… -
Re: Noise modifier with preserving UV coordinance
Fixing unwrapping by hand would take hours. You're right I don't want to freeze vertexes on UV map. I'd like them to be moved along with geometry deformation made by noise modifier (the same as checking "preserve uv" in polymodeling option in 3ds max. But I found a solution. Exporting original model to zbrush and deformed… -
Re: Medieval House
pending the amount of polys you're going to use, vertex painting on some dirt diffuse/spec and painting normal intensity should break it up a fair amount. Probably want trims/patterns on the tex sheet, and make your current blocks larger. Give the blockout more character + shape. Check out the guys doing the arenanet… -
Re: Isaac's Sketchbook of Almost Art
Here's a tiled texture I'm working on in Z. I can't wait to paint it! Its my first real attempt. I'm loosely following the Vertex magazine tutorial by Fanny Vergne (2nd issue). I wouldn't consider myself a texture artist, but its a nice break. I hope to work on some concept sketches for the hard surface armor during class… -
Re: Ruined Train station- udk Lighting question
Your Scene looks pretty cool. I have not updated in a while. However I think the normals on your grass could use some tweaking a bit. Here is a great Tut I came across recently http://wypierpapier.blogspot.com/search/label/tutorial. Gave me a great insight on vertex normals dealing with grass. Keep rocking I will be firing… -
Re: MayaLt Mirror Issues [solved]
Hm, i'll look into K_mirror after I complete these tutorials and feel more grounded with the program. I'm surprised by how hard is to find a solution for this, so far none of my google searches have helped. The only things of significance that I performed on the object that I think could be related is that I moved the… -
Re: ZBrush Polypaint to Texture
Hmm, ok, so you're saying, I can just go ahead and start polypainting my sculpt, then when I'm done, take both objects (sculpt and retopped with UVs) into xNormal and render the vertex colours to the retopped UV coords... Brilliant! I may return if I struggle with xNormal (not used it before) but a part from that, thank… -
Re: Best Solution for Texture Tiling Too Much?
Honestly, you should have made a bigger texture that should at least be the height of your wall. Making a texture that you want to tile 3 times in your basic / biggest object is not a great idea.If you make a texture that fits the height of your wall, you can easily apply it to smaller objects as well. It would propably be… -
Re: Is automatic 3D sofware anything to worry about?
just look back 10 years, zbrush was barely usable for anything but weird 2.5d illustrations until some people realized you can deform their weird 3d brushes inside the app change is good, you constantly have to adapt and invent i certainly do not miss the times when unwrapping a character took longer than modelling it, due… -
Re: The Sandcamp / Environment Challenge #56 Project Breakdown.
Great scene and really nice breakdown.I thought the distance field blending explanation was especially clear on a somewhat complex topic.Resampling the landscape in UE4 is increasing your resolution without increasing your size so your at twice default giving you 2 vertex per meter,am I remembering that right? Also what…
