Re: Ciri Overwatch/Witcher Mashup
@dGreenberg, @Elithenia , @disanski Thanks so much, glad you like it! @GreyJke Thank you, didn't know anything about lore to be honest I just copied the one from the game. Swallow you mean the bird? @Lord Fryingpan haha, thanks man, maybe I'll name the artstation project :P @Maxilator That's a great point, I think since I… -
Re: Double Sided Face with Normals Help
That's an interesting consideration. These sails are going to just be white sails, though on the edges I should probably add details for rope support. With a little experimentation it could still work; I will try it, thanks alot Eric :) . @Earthquake: I actually did struggle with that idea. I should note that this ship is… -
Re: The Tumbler
as i say there are still some errors on it especially the roof, tbh i think that area needs completely redoing. The low poly is coming along nicely, its 30k polys which isn't bad but there are no detals on the back wheels yet so that'll bump it up a bit. definitely gona try and get it into a scene when i have the time :)… -
Re: Nvidia vs ATI
Short version: All hardware is unreliable shit but at least ATI is cheaper. Long version: I've always gone with Nvidia but after they fried my card with shitty drivers that completely broke the auto-fan control so it was permanently set to 40% fan speed (which I still can't get to work to this day so I have to use a… -
Re: question about high res to low res for mobile games
I have to say I havent seen many mobile games actually use normal maps. Retopologising the high res would be a good plan but you will have to make a seriously low poly model depending on your game, a whole mobile environement including all models can usually weigh in around 8000-10000 triangles. So just as a hypothetical… -
Re: EricV's work thread
Oh and to answer your earlier question, what I was saying was that a milling operation means a single pass with a machine to remove a certain amount of metal from a solid block of metal, with a milling machine, making a cut. The more operations needed, the more necessarily complex the piece is. A Luger takes three times as… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
Started learning the python api in maya. Wrote a skin saving/loading tool which i have needed for awhile(i use comet but its slow), I query the node for the weights and use set attr to set the weights back instead of MFn.SkinCluster.get/setWeights and then save the data to a xml file so its nicely readable. You can save… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
That is silly :P I can give you that if you want to, right now, on currentgen consoles :P Nextgen will be much more about shaders and rendering than polycounts and texturesizes. Sure, we will upscale the textures a step or two, and that will be enough, then the shaders will handle the rest. As I said in another thread, if… -
Re: Uncharted 2, character work.
Hey everyone, thanks for the wonderful comments. It was a very fun project and I feel very lucky to have been able to work on it. Ultragpu: As far as the poly counts, they vary. The main characters are between 20-30k, and we use a loding system that halves those per lod, in which we use the first lod for those characters.… -
Re: I'm making open world Playstation 1 graphics.
I've been using only as much polygons to match the silhouette as close as possible. You're right about the fronts being griddy. I found it was a great way at saving polygons when viewed at different angles. I'm hoping when I get to texturing them, and I post more angles, it wont be noticeable. However, if the textures…
