Ok so I was adjusting the smoothing groups on an edit poly modifier on top of my UV Unwrap. I went back and sorted out SGs on the original edit poly so they match the UV islands, and the problem is pretty much solved. I played around with other smoothing group combos like 1 SG for the entire model, but I cant seem to get…
The thing is, you're all artists. You're barely functioning illiterates who can't be trusted to not shove your crayons all the way up your nose, let alone run an entire project in circle-jerk fashion. John Warner feels all liberated and creative right now because he's either high as a kite and one week away from his last…
yea definitely. I came to the conclusion that adding scratches and damage would end up being too time-consuming and especially restraining for 3D max. I'd end up running into shading errors and other conflict that would probably drive me insane. Just having that as texture would end up giving me the same result, and even…
Just picked up the PC version. Looks very pretty, butt theres a few odd graphical glitches and some serious slowdown from time to time. Seems like it could use a patch. There also seems to be some weirdness to the AI that wasn't present in the PS2 version - much more random crashing of AI vehicles into eachother and into…
its a bit better but I dont know wether people would really think of using behance as a professional approach to displaying a portfolio, the guys here on polycount seem to have made some pretty cool pages using wordpress. I mean on behance theres a whole lot of buttons and information on the page(myhome, circles, page…
since nobody has bothered to have a look and post, i'll bump this. Got the chance to watch it yesterday and it made me laugh, hard, as hard as you should be trying to get your hands on it to complete the circle. For the non uk'ers and the people who generally have problems with the English language and the various…
Going in circles. My reply to that is stuff that I already typed a few pages back, so not going to repeat. The only addition I wanna make is, that the guys from Southpark said it best in their RIAA episode. A kid downloading a Britney Spears (or whoever kids listen to nowadays) CD in MP3, and that kid somehow buying that…
Thanks a lot! Very informative crits! Few quick questions/comments for ya. 1/4 are pretty straight-forward to fix so that won't take long. #2: Is this the little black square thing that looks sort of like the safety but is further back on the gun? If that isn't it, would you mind circling it in the image for me. #3: On…
if it looks shaded ok why not,- if you get problems however with overlapping tris. or the smoothing groups give it 2 or 3 centers (if you have 2 you would see a edge in the center with 2 vertex ends where all connect to, with 3 a triangle ect.). Some people bridge the edges (bit difficult in that particular case) but in…
Looks like your getting some smoothing errors were the circle in the front part of the boat is. Pineapple pizza has more life to it then your lighting too. Either put some pineapples into the scene or increase the brightness and contrast to it so that it wont look so dull (I recommend the latter ;] ) Guard rails seem a bit…
