Re: Low poly vehicles
The smoothing groups for the bow are a bit odd - I'd expect each side to be smooth, with a different group on the other side. For the smooth stern, I'd have the central polygons in both smoothing groups. Overall, you can afford to spend more polygons on the hull, especially near the bow & stern. Fewer than 100 extra… -
Re: Do any of you use the line tool to start a model?
I think I'm wording it succinctly enough. I'm just saying I don't want unnecessary splits ;) Or I'd like to be able to undo a split. Take a look at the second pic I posted. Essentially that's what I want, not the first one. Say I subdivide one part of an object, in this case the box. Of course it creates vertices that rest… -
Re: male hero character
I'd advise you to strip that back for the minute. You have a lot of polygons there, and not enough shape. You started off well with the blocks for showing the mass, and you might want to try building your mesh in the same method. what i mean is, build the entine model now as one big contigous low polygon mesh, following… -
Re: arsh's maya questions
Display->Polygon options -> Display border edges Also, click the mesh, go to your Attribute Editor, Render Stats -> Doubled Sided (uncheck it), you can also do Polygon Display Options -> normals, and make sure your normals are correct, you don't have any mysterious border edges, etc. Also, Polygons -> Cleanup. All these… -
Re: Acceptable poly counts?
For portfolio stuff you should be more concerned about clean topology, which should flow naturally to efficient polygon use. Orient your thinking around whether your edges/faces/vertices contribute meaningfully to the models silhouette, or whether they could be replaced with baked details. Try to focus on the visual… -
Velar High Guard - Critique Welcome
Just wanted to share a character that I recently finished and was hoping to get some critique for improvement. This was my second attempt at realistic hair using XGen and I'm happy with the result compared to my first attempt. In the end I used the following: Model Info - Main Model - 70,846 Polygons (138,950 Tris) - Hair… -
Anyone try fusion 360 yet for modeling complex hard surfaces?
Hi all! Since there seems to be a high number of forward thinking individuals here on PC I figured I would ask around to see if anyone has experimented with T-splines and T spline software(such as fusion 360 or others) for hard surface modeling. I've heard that you can go from T-splines to polygons relatively easy. They… -
Re: [WIP ] Elf based on Daeho Cha concept
Retopology done, gloves and boots going to be mirrored after a succesful baking, color masked for different materials: I can delete a lot of polygons under the clothes, hairs and cape; also i left almost all the metals retopologized as a "solid pieces" instead of left them as a floaters for planar baking. So it turns out… -
Re: Modeling Window Tracery
arrange is on it! Drawing out complex shapes with line tool, by default, often gives this results when changed to a polygon. Two way I control is depending on the situation; 1) what arrange said, extrude and clean up, or 2) use multiple lines so you have more, less complex polygons to clean up. Either way, this will… -
Re: If you aren't painting UV's in PS do you care what they look like?
If you're painting in 3D in Mari (and you're brave) your UVs can be packed however you like, I've seen very large VFX assets from famous movies that have been painted with UVs that look like Polygon Soup. If you're certain you can do everything you want in 3D then using polygon packing isn't as crazy as it sounds. It…
