Hey Polycount! I'm Ben Ruiz and I'm the artist and combat designer at Team Colorblind, and we're about to release our flagship game Aztez on August 1st. I thought maybe the Polycount community would like to see first hand the dumb shit I did to make this game work. This is what Aztez looks like in motion. Here is the…
What is Patriots? In 2020, a tyrant leader steps out from the ruins of WWIII. He leads with his own private military and promises to protect the people from danger and hunger. This promise is soon broken and the Patriots are formed. Patriots follows the story of adrenaline junkie Max Swagger and British rock & roller Liz…
What you see isn't always all you get with Swedish supercar innovator, Koenigsegg. Take its latest concept, the Quant (pictured). Based solely on outward appearances, you probably wouldn't expect it to seat four adults in comfort - it does. But that's only part of the story. Its show-stopper is a solar-powered paint-job…
Vig: You're partially correct. Yeah, the EV1 was only leased, but the rest of the story is internet conspiracy ;) They initially offered them as lease only because they wanted to vehicles back for development purposes (to study the battery/motor life). The batteries were EXTREMELY expensive, and they would have had to…
Monster Truck Physics Package This is a full Unity project. Simple terrain (for testing) included. The core of this project is the monster truck model, the driving script on the monster truck and some nifty scripts for keeping the truck level and mostly upright in jumps (it will allow for some side and forward lean for…
Subdivision sketches: automotive details. This write-up is a brief look at how creating accurate shapes can make it easier to generate geometry that maintains a consistent surface quality, while also producing quad grid topology that subdivides smoothly. Which is important for surfaces with smooth compound curves and…
As a veteran figure painter and sculptor (mostly modifications) I just wanted to add to some of the tips and recomendations given. I too was in a similar situation a while ago, minus the 3D sculpting machine...lucky! Just want to share some of my knowledge so you guys might have an easier time. One of the reasons why the…
Alrighty! Here is a summary of the rest of my WIPs and my thought process while working on them. :) Jan 17 2018 Alrighty, so compared to the previous WIP, Sona's pose has really changed! This was due to feedback from my friend Rachel who suggested adding more motion and flow in her pose, which I adjusted according to her…
Have you baked the normal map directly from Maya? I'm actually a Maya user but I've never actually bake maps using it. Have you tried Xnormal or that new Handplane Baker release just to compare?. That's how I do my normal maps. I'm slightly confused as to how you've used the cage there but don't worry about it, I've never…
Hi 3DAndy, you should change your RAM, it will probably not fit under your CPU cooler. Look at this picture which uses normal sized RAM which is a lot smaller than the one you picked: http://pics.computerbase.de/4/0/9/7/5/19.jpg EDIT: it will definitely not fit. The actual clearance for memory is approximately 4.5cm, and…
