Re: What is the ideal Polycount for game development?
Wow...much bigger than I had anticipated...although I am quite aware of the "It depends" part...^>"<^ @MoP and Elysium, pardon the previous lack of a predetermined port. I was primarily aiming towards PCs and high-level consoles...so the PS3 and '360 also apply... Thanks for the responses...this has both enlightened and… -
Re: Hostile Drone, big images !
Good eye Daz, there is some subtle AO on the skin.. Actually, for mechanical bits i used a modified cavity map sourced from the normal map using the photoshop plugin that come with Xnormal. Since it was a first normalmapped character i experimented with a lot of stuff as the piece progressed. Here's a 360 spin turntable… -
Re: best format for demo reel?
I still don't really understand the issue since any company worth its salt that you would be sending your reel to would have Quicktime installed. 'Scrubbing back and forth' means keeping the play button pressed and sliding it left and right, in effect being able to 'rotate' the model If you are looking at a 360 turnaround.… -
WIP Character - Trying something different
Ok so I tend to do more hard surface / environment type stuff so I'm working on a few organic things to mix it up and get better at it. So here's the start of a head for a character. It's a dude in a beanie. I was playing Tony Hawk Project 8 on my 360 so I picked this guy. So here it is. Feel free to rip it apart. Anything… -

Calamity Jane
Hey, guys. Working on a new book, and the featured model will be this kinda Firefly-ish Western/Sci-Fi gunslinger character. Got the modeling mostly done. Going to replace the hands and might add a few doodads here and there: 360 rotation a little further along: http://www.mtmckinley.net/book2/jane360.avi Suggestions… -
Re: What is typically more expensive?
I know Crytek used POM even on 360 titles. I'm sure Tessellation is the most expensive, it does require DX11 after all. I'm pretty sure a lot of implementations include the ability to adjust the amount of tessellation based on distance, so you can find the sweet spot for up close shots and let the engine handle the far… -
Re: [CE3] Star Wars - Sci Fi Slum Environment
I dunno man, I feel like the blues can be appropiate, but not just too much of it. The colors right now kind of remind of the coruscant underworld type. Which is a little bit fancier and not as much smog. YOUTUBE LINK TO STAR WARS EP II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES UNDERWORLD SECTION… -
Re: [3DS Max] Modeling a Low-Poly Flash Hider
- Model it on a flat plane - Add control edges - Turbosmooth x1 - Bend 360 degrees - Weld the open vertices - Turbosmooth more And as Perna's pointed out, don't waste your time modeling every single hole individually. You could model one of those holes, duplicate it 5 times vertically down the length of the cylinder, then…
