depending on tech - either use a camera facing sprite for the blobby part or model a spheroid shape and sell the lumps in the texture. Modeling it out would waste too many tris. I'd use alpha planes for the eyes and mouth, you can do a convincing blink by quickly squashing the planes down, possibly with a closed eye…
An additional challenge that I had not forseen is rescaling to suite UE4. The blockout is in real world scale but looks too small in UE4 (1.2m hallway width, 2.2m room height etc) Where as these should probably be adjusted to 1.5m and 3m respectively. I'm not sure whether to rescale each room individually or just scale the…
Game-res in Marmoset. 13K tris, not a single texture sheet because the clothing are meant to be interchangable, but added up it's less than a 4096 map. Not done. Got to add a minor amount of wear to the clothes (belt needs the most attention), although they are supposed to look pretty clean, add a true overshirt, and get a…
I made an experimental tree to play around with this normal jiggery. Here's my WIP: I had a much nicer looking one but it used a LOT more foliage meshes and was around 8k triangles (13k verts! :O). So I did a new one with more careful foliage placement (this one). It's about 2k tris. Is that reasonable? Am I going horribly…
Awesome work man....but wow, read those tuts Sltrolsson gave you - GREAT stuff. Will add more to this piece specifically! Especially with UDK, I would push poly's even further. Your house is almost 10k, but I'm sure you could afford 12 or 13K no problem with many added details here and there to really make the buildings…
I have and old AthlonXP machine that I just bought 2 gigs of RAM and a new processor for. The got the fastest processor that the board would support. It has an Nvidia 6800XT graphics card. The RAM and proc upgrades made a huge difference and only cost me about $130 total. It's almost like having a new machine. It's a…
Well, just to rub it in, I got: A Gameboy Micro for 39.99 6 x 1gb SD cards for 3 dollars each A 6" Digital Picture Frame for 50 bucks An 11 band radar detector for 25 bucks Metroid Prime and a bunch of other good used games for 3 bucks each A vacuum for 10 bucks and my girlfriend got a 7.1mp camera for 130 bucks.
Thats Morte from Planescape:Torment. Murray doesn't have eyeballs. This is great. The more I look, more more I recognise. EDIT: I was bored and too tired to do anything particularly constructive, so I went through and tried to name as many as possible. 96 or so I think. There are a couple of extra that I forgot to right…
OK, when I wrote the question I remembered the word "garbage" and a google search gives me the Max Lister command gc(). Unfortunately it doesn´t do the trick. Any other idea to reduce the file size of a saved Max scene? The scene consist of three Characters of moderate polycount (around 5000 Polys) and two Bipeds and a…
:)Hey guys, I did this quick sculpt, a day or so of work. I'd be interested in some C&C if you guys dont mind. This is basically what the title of the thread suggests: A young squire who wants to go on big adventures but isn't ready for it. I might have to revise some proportions. I intend to drop this guy in Marmo. He's…
