Shacknews took some time to spotlight Polycount and to chat with Adam "Polycount has been home to a large number of video game artists, both professional and amateur, since 1998. Like Shacknews, Polycount has deep roots in Quake. The site was once known as Q2PMP..." and more specifically Adam... "While his personal…
There is now a free special Xmas gamemode of my game Last Knight here: http://www.lastknightthegame.com You are starving very quickly but there is lot of turkey and candy scattered around. On the other side eating too much will make you explode! There are also randomly generated snowmen (includeing Hitler and Kim Jung-Un…
Finished the High poly and i'm on to retopo. I really like how the hat came out. I tried to stay pretty true to the weave pattern that a rice farmer's hat would look like. There was also a seam in the zbrush surface noise I used to make the weave pattern so I added some straw ties to cover it and also add to the "crafted…
I hate the fact that it happens irregularly and not every time i create a shape. This leads me to believe it is not a setting, but some issue with those shape creation tools itself. Example, i just went into max again and made a box and a cube. Neither of them had the out of place vertices. I deleted them and made another…
WOW B1LL WAS RIGHT! Normals maps are evil, look at all the hatred they cause!!!! Now my opinion on the whole painted vrs modeling thing, even for simple shapes i still prefer to model, creating bump maps by hand has always been a pain in the ass for me and i'de rather be in modo modeling that stuff any day, its not like…
That first play seemed to set the tone for the whole game. Broncos miss-fire on the snap and Seattle snags an easy safety. I would be tempted to call it a fluke, but that wouldn't be giving Seattle enough credit. While the Seahawks did benefit greatly from a number of bone-headed mistakes that the Broncos made, they also…
This is bs.. how the hell can art miss the mark. It's fucking art. Have you seen picaso... like holy shit. Yeah I'm cool with critique but you don't even understand what your looking at. Wich to me mean means great. I did my job. You posted a stupid looking helmet and said this is better. It's npt it looks like shit. One…
I've been playing this on my 360 for the past week and am getting close to finishing. What an absolute blast! I think 2k deserves quite a bit of credit for inventing a world full of so much life and creativity. The voice acting is amazing and listening to all the audio logs always gives me an chilly feeling not to mention…
i decided to export sub div level 1 model back to max. the triangle present turned out to be a vertex from her little finger that somehow had attached itself to the front of her hat. I fixed this and imported back to zbrush replaced old level1 with fixed one, however when i went up through the sub divs i got weird results…
Puts on cocky hat... I'll have to give it a go, but I think I've been there. At least I was somewhere with a bunch of DeathClaws, I made about 7-8 deathclaw gauntlets at some point. I think I cocked up TenPenny Tower, some of the security turned on me at some point, but not all the residents did. So I killed Alister and…
