Re: 2028 Russia (level design, models etc)
i use 3ds max-zbrush-photoshop pipeline. I do initial lowpoly in max , then bring it to z-brush and detail it up, then do retopology in z-brush, this new low-poly goes to unfold3d where i unwrap it and then i bring hipoly and this lowpoly to x-normal, where i compute normal map. after that i texture diffuse&spec and so on… -
Re: First go at a gun: The holy boltgun
Here's an update, better late than never... What Ive got done now is the lowpoly Boltgun. It all adds up to just under 4000 poly's, so I might adds some more detail at places since I'm aiming at max 5000 poly's. But don't forget that I also need to add two more buttons and the ornament... speaking of which, I've finished… -
Re: Nice Topology question for problem
i think you have a misunderstanding here for subd modeling you want to have a good topology for subdiving, but this is uasually for your highpoly model which only serves for baking your maps out retopo means to create a lowpoly model, which is the actual model used in the engine later on since the lowpoly model does not… -
Re: Superspecular soft edges tutorial chapter 1
Dude please indicate your polygon counts visually on all the pictures. And also show wireframes. Without that I honestly have no idea what you are talking about ... Looks good tho [edit] oh ok I found it. Man you can remove maybe 90% of the text haha Interesting, will try asap. Sometimes to get a similar look I bake… -
Re: Sketchbook: Der Hollander
Hey there! If you want some feedback on the demoreel, here it is. I found your work pretty intresting and well made, though something caught my attention, why are your resolutions so high? For example, the first character you showed on the reel (which btw was really nice) was on 1.2k triangles, meaning that this would be… -
Re: Baking pipeline with Substance Painter/Marmoset. Opinions needed.
Name matching definitely doesn't result in tons of textures. I've been using it on many projects over the last years. Say your low poly has 3 meshes that share one texture set but you want to keep them separate for baking reasons. In your lowPoly file name them: mesh1_low, mesh2_low and mesh3_low Then in your high poly you… -
Re: is traditional surface modelling still relevant?
One more thing came to my mind regarding this. If you make your highpoly using traditional methods, it usually gives you a very good base for your lowpoly. Sometimes you only need to remove the support edges and you are done. This is really important, whether its for a game or anim or whatevee because it is very hard,… -
Re: Efficiency of video game art vs. movie art character pipelines
Personally I like 2d concept art and zbrush sculpting, but not the retopo and UV part. The issue with that is that in order to get tight and clean game models under strict budget constraints, there is a need for a close to perfect symbiosis between the highpoly phase and the lowpoly. What I mean by that is that more often… -
Re: Advance Normal Mapping in XSI
I've always wanted to know why the option for using the systems GPU was not available. I love the results of AO from XSI, but man do they take a while. Ive gotten into the habit of baking albedo and normals in one go with settings on high, then checking off only the AO and changing that to medium. Raul, I'll just echo… -
Re: Good Blender plugins for hardsurface (weapons)?
Now that's more clear :) So , at this time, you should not worry *at all* about any specifics of "hard surface modeling for weapons". All you need to focus on is very lightweight lowpoly modeling, capturing forms without even bothering thinking about subdiv. Because once you know how to do that very well, THEN there are a…
