Re: How do they smooth objects for games?
Man it's getting complicated was hoping for a simple fix feel like I've opened up another can of worms. I was wanting to do a low poly version of a minigun and high one for a showreel, I was thinking I'd just hit the old smooth preview in Maya but then I noticed it multiplied my polycount by like 20 and apparently it's… -
Re: Cylindrical gameplay issues...
Hi, thank you for answering. Yes, I can program (C, C++ and Java). I am not a pro, but I can. (Can I program specifically for the UDK ? No. I don't know anything about the Unreal Script stuff. But that's why there are the docs) I thought this could be done using the Unreal Kismet (for the camera-based controls, by example)… -
Re: So where did you learn your skills?
Anywhere and everywhere, mostly here. F1 helps a lot in 3dsmax. Still learning, its one of the things I like about the industry never really gets old. Hawkin, if you can get Adam an EPS of the final design, there is an extremely good chance this will end up in the polycount store. Shoot him or I a PM when and if you get… -
Re: Eomer - realtime character(sort of)
Neah...not really. Right now not even 4k textures are used for games(or quite rarely). As far as the polycount there are some games out there that are quite close to that number....tho it will take 1-2 more years to get stuff like this all over the place. In the end I could optimize the hair and reduce the polycount… -
Re: In need of some guidance...
My advice is to just model it to the level of detail you're happy with without worrying about polycount (within reason). Then optimise the topology the best you can and push it out the door. If your performance analytic tools are showing issues with the object in the scene then go back and optimise it more. I would be more… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop unnoficial monthly competition - APRIL
+1 on this. visibility means votes..votes means visibility. Polycount, i call upon you to save me from the catch 22! also...regarding Prophet's comment...there's not really a set format for dropping your finished piece. at least link the workshop page and we'd all like to see some sort of pictues. maybe next month we can… -
Re: character made from boxes for animations
Correct. It is CAT. I believe the dwarf rig you are talking about is by Daniel Marsh, aka polycount's very own @dannyannymation. IF he didn't make it, he at least animated it. I first saw this anim on polycount. Maybe he can give more insight. Also, when researching how to do it in a non-CAT way, try looking for Proxy Rig… -
Re: Employers Looking At Your Facebook
I'd be alright if someone asked for my polycount name. Not everything I've posted has been super, or even very good. But I've tried not to make myself seem like a total jackass, and besides - maybe then an employer could see how you've improved and see how well you take criticism. If nothing else, polycount is open to the… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Joe Fortin
Yeah i agree, pick a discipline and stick to showcasing that on your reel. Since this is polycount i assume modeling/texturing is what you ultimately want to show on your reel, take out your animations (all), keep your drawings (all of them) at the end or right before their corresponding 3d model and just show a quick shot… -
Re: Challenge idea?
we should set this up similar to cgtalk's daily sketch thread. but instead call it a weekly game art thread. each monday post a topic and guideline, and have the deadline be sunday night. while the next topic begins, polycounters can vote for their favorite from the previous week. the winner can have an image posted on the…
