Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | October 2014 | the Soothsayer
@kanga I've seen some people still do the last month Challenge, so i guess it's your personal work so there is no real deadline, but the next challenge start the 1st of month. @MrCreator Good job on finishing the challenge. :thumbup: For what i can notice it feels like you have some polygoons used on some places that are… -
Re: Using multiple materials on one mesh - 3dsMax/UDK Tutorial
Just a quick addition to this, you don't have to keep applying/re-applying the material modifier. When you are in polygonal selection mode you will see a rollout for Polygon: Material ID's in your Command Panel, and from there you can select your polygons and set the ID's without having to collapse, re-add, collapse,… -
Re: maya 8 help plz
Display Menu > Polygons... Backface Culling. Then you can change the three options. Or Window > Settings > Preferences > Polygons Backface Culling to make it default to what you like to work with. Or Window > Settings > Preferences > Modelling Under Polygons you can check "create mesh singlesided". But I think backface… -
Re: Head Modeling Problems ?
Cooljay, you need to adjust the proportions and smooth your polygons, but in max, with that mesh it would be a mess/nuisance. If you are modelling a head, using subdivs you can use less polygons and modify the forms/volumes with ease. You should learn at first some aspects of subdivision modelling. It's not much, and it… -
Re: Maya Saving and Exporting Issue
Yes, I've deleted the history. I don't know if I'm dealing with clipping issues and if that's relating to the crashes. Right now I'm making tweaks to a boot I've made and I noticed that the inner boot polygons are close to the outer boot polygons. My old model high-res boot was around 700,000 polygons. -
Re: # of sides on a barrel
Neither is 'better' with polygons. How many polygons use use on a specific platform depends more on how much memory you have available and how much you dedicate to elements of your game. The xbox has more memory and a more traditional gpu. Take that for what you will, but it's not true that either is 'better at polygons'. -
Re: Modeling Tool?
My thoughts: Blender is most probably the weakest polygon modeling tool here. Simply because before this spring it couldn`t deal with NGons. And this means that lots of tools were and are missing that relys at NGons. BMesh, the new core, finally brought this long awaited NGon functionality. But it may still last some years… -
Re: Workflows for games, movies and other environments
This is a huge question to answer as there are specific roles in games and more importantly films industry devoted to pipeline alone. But to simplify if you want to create an image on your own its all fine by just modeling, texturing it and then rendering in zbrush as there is no need to change it later, give it to another… -
Re: Slicing a level up in Max before exporting to a game engine
The funny thing is, even though BSP is ideally suited to interiors, it was originally developed for flight sims, and just like racetracks, there is almost no occlusion at all, so it seems quite odd. By the way, on oval type course I agree, it probably wouldn't be worth it. You'd be viewing half of it at any one time. But… -
Re: Loop Topology Questions
For a specific anatomical topology for a better silhouette, it's best to use it only on finger/toe nails, laterial/medial malleolus (ankle bones), knees, elbows + styloid process of ulna (bulging wrist bone), shoulders, clavicles (collarbones), scapulas (shoulder blades), chest + nipples (breasts + nipples if a female), a…
