Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (80)
Hi @orangesky, didn't use boolean operations when creating the assets. Other than the sarcophagus (sculpted, subd modeling), It's mostly box modeled lowpoly meshes modified to have rounded/beveled edges (bevel modifiers + faceweighted normals in Blender). This shading was then baked down to the lowpoly. The benefit of this… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Hey Austin, I'll go through your portfolio and let you know my train of thought! 1) Cannon: Looks neat. The rope couple use a lot of work in the texture department. Probably would be a good idea to straighten the UV of the rope and increase tiling on the rope material in Substance. Try having your rendered wireframe quads,… -
Re: Solid Modelling - Modelling for machining
Thank's for the answer guys ! After further investigation, i found out that i just need to use nurbs, wich is kind of the equivalent (as far as i understand) as surface models in CAD softwares. I sent a polygonal subdivision model converted to nurbs in Maya to my machinist, and apparently it opened as a surface model in… -
Re: vehicle_fueltruck WIP.
Eaven though i am sitting next to you i'm going to take this oppertunity to comment on your model. So you can put my views in perspective. I agre with Flewda about saving some of those polys in exchange for normalmapping. like for instance behind that doorhandle. And i absolutely think that you should check you r model for… -
Re: Technique for modelling tracks
Actually it wouldn't happen, those polygons would still be culled/clipped, but you would waste a huge amount of resources simply looping through and checking the polygons in one huge mesh, even if you're only going to be viewing a small part of the mesh at a time. By applying per model culling, if a model is deemed to be… -
Re: (W.I.P) Low Poly AK-47 (W.I.P)
That's not bad for being self-taught. But you need to cut on polys if you want to stay low-poly. I made an image paint-over to give you some crits. Also, if you don't know already, games typically only accept 3-sided polygons (triangles) and 4-sided polygons (quads), so make sure you have no polygons on your model that has… -
Re: So what are you working on?
Playing a bit with my high polygon version in ZBrush, doing some polygon painting. I'd love to be able to transfer this texture over to a texture map, but I think I'd have to import a retopologised mesh that is the final model with UV's and project onto this mesh for shrink wrapping.. The polygon painting would probably… -
Re: I want to retopology the thorns.
poopipe Alex Javor kanga Thank you for your advice! I made a thorn with Sculptris Pro and Snake Hook. I challenged the masking you taught me. I couldn't make an accurate mask... I was able to reduce polygons with Decimation Master. Do you have any problems with triangular polygons? Is it not necessary to make it a square… -
Re: Mutant Nurse
Hey Revel, nice character concept. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result! You've managed to keep a nice low poly count on the model so I would first like to commend you on that, all you need now is to work on your polygon distribution. Just a quick tip, always try to keep your polygons square, and similar to their… -
Re: how many polys for professional character art?
In Zbrush, your geometry count shouldn't really matter. It's going to have tons of polygons no matter what, if your goal is to capture every single detail. Film artists aren't really concerned by polygon count since all their renders are handled by supercomputers, making the theoretical polygon count infinite. For a game,…
