im a little unsure of adding an sword to it, its a little against the rules this month btw, did you check the number of poligons for the misc? normally is really low
Think Sea of Thieves, A big ship that is essentially a huge platform where 4 players can play on. Sitting at 150k polygons. Has two below decks which are also playable areas. Some meshes are separate in Unreal engine such as the Wheel, Cannons, Sails/masts, anchor/capstan. I'm guessing trim sheets are vital and are a must.…
Hi, my name is Leslie Ann and I work for Demiurge Studios. We are currently searching for a talented environmental artist to work on our next-gen projects. The ideal candidate will have the ability to create believable, evocative environments in low and high-polygon budgets. Experience in creating both realistic and…
I have a low and high polygon model, all vertexes and edges are welded, a single smoothing group applied to the whole mesh on both models. Everything up to this point looks good. I UVW map the low polygon model. Generating the normal map from 3ds Max and the normal map does not tile along the UVW seam - the normals look…
I solved this problem after it nearly convinced me I needed a new computer. H Recap of the problem: 1. When I hit 3 to smooth polygons in Maya, they would often vanish entirely or stretch out. 2. When I loaded my .ma file saved in ASCII the files would do things similar to the image above, with geometry exploding or…
As long as you retopologize the model in the end then it should be perfectly ok for games. It's really just another way to create a model at the end of the day, and you can do this exact same workflow exclusively inside a program like Maya as well. Just don't settle for an automatic retopology solution like ZRemesher for…
Thanks Kbrom12. I downloaded the project and have been looking at the material behind the carpet. It seems to make use of layered polygons, vertex colours and multiple bump offsets connected into the opacity mask. However I am still a little confused by the logic behind the material. If you know the answer could you help…
There is never really an arbitrary number to aim for without context, in order to get an idea of where you should be aiming you have to think about a number of factors: How big is it/ at what scale will this be seen by the player? Is it intended for realtime or cinematic? Is this a 'hero' asset or something that's going to…
Thanks again. Oh, and I wasn't talking about real time lighting effects, I know that isn't an option. Even basic lighting effects, you're talking about halving your framerate at best. More advanced lighting effects you'd be talking about being left with say a quarter of your unlit polygon budget. Even Pixel Bender,…
I tryied extruding my legs with the move tool but the result has been destroying poligons and making them unworkable...i have to try using the move brush?
