Re: Isolating ngons in maya
Another method: (Polygons Menu) Mesh > Cleanup... Settings: Operation - Select matching polygons Scope - Apply to selected objects Fix by Tesselation - Faces with more than 4 sides Then click "Cleanup", it won't clean them up, but it will select them for you so you can decide what to do with them. -
Is it possible for a combined mesh to be broken apart for explosions, collisions etc?
Title says it all, I'm curious how should I go about developing an object which will be destroyed. In this case its a boat. Am I going to model the boat as a single polygon or do I need to create separate objects and put them together (combine polygons?) so they can be broken away -
Level of detail
Hi, I am doing a research in using Topology, Pro-Optimzer and low to high polygon as Lod methods in 3ds max and place in unreal engine, I was wondering what question I can ask people about it or any suggestion. The top row is topolgy, middle is done using Pro-Optimze and bottom was done by creating a low polygon to high. -
Anyone use Cinema 4d?
Hey guys, I'm trying to give myself a crash course on cinema 4d r12 for a job. So far I can create primitives, edit them as polygons and add deformers. The problem is, im having trouble trying to edit these polys after i've added a deformer. does anyone know how to model with polygons in cinema 4d? -
Re: Maya LT
You can import OBJ files, FBX, and open Maya files. You can export FBX and obj. However you can't import or export OBJ or FBX that's larger than 65k polygons without doing special things. You can import a high polygon maya file. -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Optimizing polygon counts is generally a waste of time, especially down to that level. Quad overdraw is the main tricount related performance impact. Sometimes dynamic shadows are effected by the tricount, like Cascaded Shadow Maps in UE4. But you can use a lower polygon mesh as the shadow caster if that's an actual… -
Re: CVC Helmet
Hmm, although looking better than before, I think you should prioritize the layout of the polygons. There's a lot of detailed polygons on the microphone, buttons and the inside of the ears. However, those are better spend outside on the headphones and even better yet, the shape of the helmet itself, which looks really… -
Re: first model for sale
hey, here is the shoulder in the new pose. its pretty hard to get the polygon flow correct there.. this is how it looks atm: any ideas/suggestions on how to get the polygon flow correct? (the muscles are quite different in this pose, so i'll have to tweak a lot) c&c's welcome! thanks -
Re: Ph0n0GRAPH
Great update! That should produce a nice normal map. As for how many polygons your low polygon object should be? For that I would say 200-400 polies on the conservative side and 600-800 if you wanted to really round out the corners and the cylinders. Just my estimates though. -
Re: Books you would recommend for 3D art?
Polygonal Modeling: Basic and Advanced Techniques by Mario Russo - 2005 On or about that same year I'd already been messing around inside Blender and was looking for text books, nothing fancy just straightforward basic polygonal fundamentals that in turn has enabled further development push/pulling verts, since.
