Re: I want your bodies
I have no idea who did GTA adnvance - its wasn't R* North. The PSP game is a join venture between us and R* Leeds, but nearly everything was done by them as far as I am aware. So thats 3 studios. The previous Xbox GTA games (3 and VC) were handled by R* Vienna. -
Re: I want your bodies
Multiple teams is a good way to go. A Sony, MS and Nintendo branch for each one, share certain aspects of the development process that don't change all that much (some parts of art and the overal game design ect ect) 1) a core team in each dept that would be 'shared'. Like for art, shared character designers and modelers.… -

Eric, He puts in some interesting ideas about cloth trees and fluids and how they should be allotted different processor threads for diferent specs, he also makes some nice generalisations and provides references. So i have a couple more ideas to throw in if need be, thats always good. So… -

Re: I want your bodies
Thanks per, i am trying to make a prototype for it now, do you think that a relative endo morph will be able to displace a mesh that has been edited after the construction of the morph well enough, in lightwave this is easy enough, but how is it in other packages, is there one that is easier than the rest and seem to… -

I have been looking at various cages, with geometry created to be easily reduced but still rigged and textured easily for the various platforms, within each platform there is still a need for optimization tho (i,e just because you have a… -
Re: I want your bodies
Per, Yes making one or two low poly versions is pretty trivial, but if you have 140 characters in a game at a day each and need them at 10k tris 2.5k tris 1ktris and 500k tris to cover the two xbox and 3 PS consoles and the pc then you are still looking at nearly 2 years work, so it isn't totally trivial. I have seen one… -
Re: I want your bodies
That's usually set up in tiers, there's the GBA/DS tier and the current gen tier. Usually the main team will make only one version (the home console version that is aimed at the weakest system included and given some additional effects for the bigger systems) and the portable version is outsourced. For the Splintercell… -
Re: I want your bodies
That looks pretty good, turn a couple of edges and it would probably be pretty cool. For IGI2 we actually managed to use multires a bit, it kept UVs too, this looks far nicer tho. Per i am sorry i havnt got back, and it is not a good time for me to explain how it went. although bits went very well and are going to be used,… -
Re: I want your bodies
Polygon Cruncher for Max. My trial ran out so I couldn't bring it back to max for the render. It does a much better job than Multires IMO. Check out the nice tesselation on the hose. This is at about 10% of the original polycount. Polygon Cruncher page
