Re: You're doing it wrong.
I see your point Crazybutcher, but i refer to modelling with polygons, not with Zbrush. It seems like all people have forgotten a good 3d character must be done with subdivs, with polygons. To model in Zbrush from a box, or bad base mesh is easy, of course.. you only need to subdivide in a crazy way and then sculpt, anyone… -
Re: The Vagabondage of a Novice
I'm not quite sure what it is you want to do with those verts, but its not cloning. Cloning is when you have some part of the model that you want to make a copy of, for instance if you modelled a button on a robot, and you wanted another one identical somewhere else on the robot, you would use clone to make a copy of the… -
How can I obtain this type of topology?
I currently have a 3D model (polygon mesh) roughly like this. What method can I use to obtain the topology shown in the image below? Thank you. -
Robot character model WIP
// current status: // Forearm in Unity Web player >> Hi I decided to learn some modelling for games and found this great forum. Lot of information about essential things that I have never heard (like normal maps) Here is my concept, I did it about 2 years a go (for flash game that I will never Finnish). This is where I'm… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Wait a second, only SOME polygons? Not all polygons!? -
Re: Working with backculling in maya
In your example, this backface culling setting was applied to only the "selected" active selection ( if any ). That might lead to unexpected behavior if you simply meant to apply backface culling to "ALL" or on an object that wasn't selected. If that were true then the right answer would be to simply select the "all"… -
Re: 3D Models for games advice
Like what Mirbobo brought up, unfortunately a lot of university teachings are not anywhere near up to date. There are exceptions but if scrolling through the education threads you'll quickly see the trend. Continue on Polycount though and ask questions when something confuses you because I know I had the same experience… -
Re: Some question about low\high poly mesh (before baking)
These are 2 types of workflow. From what i've seen , High to Low poly is mostly used when making organic models. They first sculpt the character with anatomical details since it is faster to sculpt than block out an entire human body made of polygons. So they basically sculpt a human body made of millions of polygons (or… -
Re: Palm Tree
welcome to the forums! Those are nice, cartoon-style (Monkey Island comes to mind) Palm trees, but I'm curious what they're intended for? If they are for a game, then there are a couple ways you could reduce the poly count. But first-- I think you mis-counted the number of polys-- are you sure you meant triangles? Because… -
Re: First time poster
Thanks for the critique. I'm pretty much set in on a project at work for a good long haul before I can show anything, so I am actually in the process of working on some new stuff to fill out my personal portfolio. I've got some decent stuff, but my skills have greatly improved and I think I can definitely fill in some of…
