Re: [Finished]- Crooked Forest environment, 'Those Who Mourn'
Now this looks cool. The tree in mid-left foreground with the exposed roots seems a bit chunky down there, and the long branch stretching into the camera isn't exactly clear to me what is going on. The archway shaped tree might look better if it's tapered -- like a normal standing tree that has just bent over completely.… -
Re: [Portfolio] Kenneth Robinson
right - first scene is mostly good, i like the vertex shader but i'm a sucker for that kind of tech in udk. the sand needs more detail to break it up imo, a few small stones and or plants would be good. the props collection needs some work too imo - the i beam is completely straight? why is there a perfect i beam in the… -
Re: UDK Questions..
1- Yes, shaders are math's based equations and calculations, so naturally, they will have a heavy impact on the speed of the scene since (in some cases) shaders can be physical based and multi-layered, meaning they take into account real-world properties. Shaders are what drive the fidelity and realism of the scene most of… -
Re: Beginner Question about game character modelling!
The wiki is a great place to start learning things! http://wiki.polycount.com/ The mesh that goes in-game is not subdivided/smoothed. For most modern game characters, a high resolution model is created with many millions of polygons using a combination of a 3d modeling package (ie, 3ds Max, Maya, Modo) and a sculpting… -
Re: UDK versus Source Film maker(SFM) for cinematics.
We don't even know what the SFM can do as of now, what polycounts it can take, what the shaders are like, what the animation keys values are in terms of linear or not, etc. So comparing it to UDK is kinda pointless. Yes it is easier to use...from what we have seen from the video's...which can be hardly put on the same… -
Re: Modular Building Project: Cathedral
Thanks SgtNasty, yeah thanks for reminding me about that roof. I stretched the UVS out like that initially because I was hoping (in vain) that I could get it to line up to the edges of the texture and tile with itself, once I figured out that just wasn't going to happen I added the edging along the corners but I forgot to… -
Re: Help me edit down my portfolio
ITS CLEANUP TIME! You've got a ton of great content on here, but I definitely agree that it can be pruned down a bit. First things I'd put on the chopping block are: Borderlands assets - nothing about these really stand out. Reel Racing - seems a bit lower quality than the rest of the folio Blue Car - only a high poly? Not… -
Re: warehaus - UDK
thanks very much for all the crits guys. :) had these fixes done about a week ago, but just posting them now. (was busy getting my site up and running) i eventually did get around to addressing as many as i could. kab: if it were for an actual game, the chain would probably just lod out if you were far away. :] sometimes… -
Re: Body Modelling a Woman (Warning: Nude reference images)
Hi Ravanna, I haven't attempted a full-body sculpt or model before. I wasn't given any preparation warnings about which may be more difficult, but now I've already started the project so it's a bit late to change what I've done so close to a milestone deadline for the base mesh. The sculpt in my first post was purely to be… -
Re: 3DS Max - UVing complex objects
hi guys, I have to admit I am a bit skeptical about doing it the way described above as it produces a lot of warping. That usually happens when normalizing a trapezoid poly for example to a rectangle. (as can be seen with the checker texture warping above) I`d suggest an alternative approach (both are surely valid for…
