Re: GPUs. Nvidia's Pascal: GTX 1070 and 1080 and what this mean's for the future.
If in typical usage it does not fall below the actual display resolution. So if a 3rd person character's torso takes up 500 pixels of space vertically you have that amount of resolution in that UV shell, same for other objects. A FPS gun is a smaller object, but it usually takes up a large part of the screen relative to… -
Re: first legit charchter model, UVWs.
Yea it's kind of tricky and you have to play with it, I find that cutting under the chin like you said will help the face from bunching up, but then weld it back together. Sometimes a selection of verts will sometimes relax better than an entire shell. It also helps to turn on soft selection, grab a few verts like around… -
Re: Automedic's Particle Project
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! @vertical: you mean that big, green splash attack? That shouldn't be too difficult - I'm still a bit busy but I'll give it a shot if I find the time. @Shtreimel: I'm using the Alien Swarm SDK's particle editor. Cyborgmatt once released a little guide to get it to run. I've considered… -
Re: Issues with Zbrush re-topology
Yes NordicNinja, that is exactly the problem I was having. Faces were being build on top of the already existing geometry. But I don't know why. I always held down SHIFT to select a vertice and draw polygons from there, but for some reason it kept making overlapping faces in certain areas. Here are some pics:… -
Re: [Game] Blood, Sweat, Gold -- modular character system + environment
I had been unhappy with the chainmail outfits silhouette and general look. It looked very doughboy-ish. I thought it might even be worth scrapping and redoing, but I found a few ways to salvage it and I think it looks about right now. 1. I simply tweaked the vertices defining the silhouette very slightly on the game model.… -
Re: Elton Hulk - Male character for portofolio
Thanks a lot for your reply, it makes a lot of sense. To be honest, I really just wanted to put on the table all I have just learned about anatomy and Hulk was really obvious, though not really artistic, must admit. I've always thought Elton John had pretty much a real life chubby Hulk head, so went on with that, will put… -
Re: Need help with perspective
If you take the horizon line which is currently crotch level for the guys standing and most of the scene, and check to where that is flush on the girl you'll notice their crotches are all about the same level. Now if you take the bookshelf behind the girl and notice that the one edge furthest away from her going into… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
Wow, I guess that's what I get for implying something is better than Max. I don't think glib for one is even reading my posts :P Lemme see if I can set things straight: You can model in anything. Modeling is not rigging, it's not vertex coloring, it isn't even UVing. There are no pipeline-specific tools, plugins or exports… -
Re: Earth Defense Operative!
i diggit. X-COM is an indelible classic--i like how you've reinterpreted the soldier as a more like an astronaut then a fellow in a jumpsuit... i'm assuming this is a take on the unarmored soldiers. he could possibly be militarized just a bit more, but overall i think the look is appropriate to a force that has just been… -
Re: Vertex colour = Gouraud shading?
Eric - oh I know you weren't saying they are the same thing, but mechanically they are similar, at least. Thanks for the link too, even though I have an idea of how it's implemented, that's helpful. fletch - usually you'd be right ;) In a software based scanline renderer you could simply multiply the pixel value after…
