Re: Draw Calls and batching
Most thing said are correct, the main point is always: it depends on the engine and the platform. So any fancy tricks could be applied or not. Don't assume anything, if it's important to you just talk with the guy responsible for it. Batching is motivated by two reasons: - GPUs love big work loads, thousands of threads… -
Re: Quad modelling
By adding yet another edgeloop to make the tri to a quad. Or by merging the vertices together to remove the faceloop that ends in this tri. Or you add an SDS layer, then this tri turns into quads, with a pole. Another question is if this tri makes trouble at all. When this is a final geometry then you might just be fine… -
Re: [WIP] Bugatti Atlantic for Hum3d challenge 2020
Exactly, you are right ! I saw this tutorial several month ago, but I didn't try it at thas time. But it was a revelation and I liked the idea to work with the reflection first. The reason is because I modeled a lot of car with polygons, and I spent always my last week to correct all reflection, vertices by vertices,… -
Re: Gloster Meteor
@Bostvic Yeah, moving on to a different part of the model can be often good for mental health. I don't know much about modeling this kind of shapes, but what I would suggest is to give a little more space between the vertices right here: It might make the transition softer, it might not, just a thought... You could also… -
Re: Why can't triangles be stretched over quads?
I honestly don't know what you're getting at with your triangle question. You can't draw two triangles using one triangle like that, since what if the vertex normals, vertex colour etc are different? Using your method you'd have 3 vertices in completely different places compared to the original "two triangles" which are… -
Re: Low Poly Rocket Base
Yeah I'd make those trims out of single quads. Looking at the other pic you don't even need a separate texture for it but you can just use the texture from the roof pillars. (or rather, as this is a clean start, you can reuse the trim for the pillars =P) What I would also try is pulling up the outermost vertices and… -
Re: [Blender] Is it possible to hide a bone parented to an object while animation is running ?
TL, DR dude... When you apply a Mask modifier (during export) it deletes all vertices that were being hidden by it (whether it is the whole object or just a few vertices from it, defined by a vertex group). Don't use the mask modifier to hide the magazine. Rather, keyframe the scale of the bone that parents the magazine… -
Re: xNormals's cage
If you're using Max, you can edit the Cage in Max and export via SBM with it, and just have to select "Cage" for the Low Poly. OR, you export the cage as a OBJ and in the LP section, define if you want a custom cage. While editing in the Viewer isn't a bad thing, it's it pretty slow and vexing, as you can only select… -
Re: 3ds Max - Shift + Drag with Measure
Hello. Without measuring or calculating the Y-Distance between each row, extruding the edges would be fairly difficult. Edit. Take a look at Eric's answer, that's basically the perfect way to do it! I'd go ahead and select the polygons instead of the edges, and hold down shift to copy them over. Then I'd use vertex… -
Re: [UE4] Medieval Town (Improvement)
@aclund3 i think I got the gist of what you mean, I've redesigned my sections following some of the points you mentioned and they certainly read much better and less cluttered and follow my reference more, appreciate the crit. As for horizontal beams always laying on top of vertical beams, I've done that for my modules,…
