Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Hey guys I have a quick question somewhat related to this subject: What are peoples views on bumping up polycounts for portfolio peices. By adding a couple of loops I can get a good bake, but by adding a bunch I can get something indistinguishable from the high poly. For a 'hero prop' where the goal is something closer to… -
Re: Japanese Game Dev Websites
Well there is really a lack of something like Polycount for the japanese community, i notice when working for Japanese companies and with Japanese, that the biggest value i have is the knowledge i can take from places like polycount, We share all those small technique that saves time and makes things look better. At… -
Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
"enroll in Polycount University, you learn lots and it's free!" -alexk - lol, yup I learned more from polycount, books, and friends than the school I went too that cost me $20,000 for 2year degree. "I can show you how to get boobs, beer, books and a few heaping helpings of life experience, without blowing a fat wad of… -
Re: [Character Model] My first character model
Looks like a good start, and you have a good concept to build on. Did you draw it? The knee and elbow pads probably don't need all those polygons. Little things like the knee/elbow pad straps could be done with the texture if you want to lower your polycount. Speaking of which, do you have a target polycount? Looks like a… -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I started looking in to making a bunch of glass containers. With all the references I gathered and looking at the scene, I feel like there's going to be a lot of different bottles, jars, vials, etc. The more variation the better; different silhouettes, sizes and such will help make the scene feel busy. But I really didn't… -
Need feedback on this 3D model (for top-down shooting game)
I'm working on top-down shooting game (think Nuclear Throne in 3D), where enemies appear in big groups. Would this mesh be considered too high-poly or is it acceptable? Does anybody have any recommendations with a good poly-count level? EDIT: The polycount in the top left corner isn't accurate for the model since the scene… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - Nov. & Dec. 2016 (45)
@kyrzon I totally did not see that piece. What the heck. Thanks so much buddy or buddett. The tube runs to that. Man im a derf. Such a big piece too. I think the color threw me off with the way it blends with the rest of the prop. This is way harder than it looks. Excited im tackling this though. Its been years since I… -
Re: David Weinstein Animation Demo Reel - Starwars & Matrix
Hey dw78nov welcome to polycount and great to see some impressive work that you have. I will be checking out the blog and I have to agree with MoP of maybe sharing some of the modelers that worked with you on these projects. I know alot of gaming guys, but would like to learn more of the talented people behind movies, and… -

Thanks:) *a polycounter veteran, heh funny,… -
Re: This post may be killed, but I have no regrets.
Damn Adam, not to be a dick, but why do you keep picking on this kid? I mean its clear to me now that something is chemically wrong with the guy. And yet you keep on offering his threads up to the wolves. Is a bit like punching a retard in the face. Maybe polycount should have a "no retards" policy, or better yet, a "no…
