Hello, for the Character Art low-poly models, what should the polygon limit be? Thanks. We are not giving hard limits. We just ask that you are being efficient and make every polygon count.
Yes, 38000 is too high. How to save polygons: do not make 1 ribbon per stick, put several sticks on one ribbon. You should not make every leaf on a separate polygon.
Hi all ! I just have a problem that i can't fix. in 3D max When i drag a square to select my polygons it doesnt work exept if polygons are completly surrounded by the square. Does anyone knows where to find this option ?
Thanks jesse,implemented those suggestions,model is now 1216 tris,589 polygon. andi think i mixed up the two last time, it was actually 1312 tris not polygons.
^ everything is a triangle. Ngons and quads don't really exist. :# You are in Max there anyway. Which knows what a polygon is. You have complete control over all this stuff, especially the triangulation of polygons, be they ngon or quad
As low as you can while making it look good. http://www.rsart.co.uk/2006/11/20/how-many-polygons-in-a-piece-of-string/ http://www.rsart.co.uk/2007/08/27/yes-but-how-many-polygons/
Started with the lowpoly model.. i have done some tweaking on all of the parts. And it's now reduced from 1 437 264 polygons to 1616 polygons. Still need to work more on some of the parts though.
If it's Max when your polygon extrudes while it have to move, you have bugged "extrude" option. Select this polygon, click on the extrude settings in editable poly mode and cancel it by "X" button. Shoudld help.
@jewski-bot, Hi! It seems to be normal map bake issue, when you have a difference smothing groups on these polygons, but UV's shells of this polygons are not splited. If you split it - there will be no visible seam on the model.
Is there a way in Max, or a script to isolate polygons on their own to work on. Ie. select the polygons and then hide the rest? I know it can be done by detaching the polys to their own object (and isolating it) but I want them still attached. Is this a feature available in other software?
