Re: Second opinions about this hard surface topology?
OK, I'm going to play the bastard... Apologies in advance.. OK. Brutal bit first.. If this was the most recent piece in your portfolio I would not invite you for an interview. I don't mean any offence, I feel it is extremely unhelpful to be indirect. The distribution of detail is very uneven - the blade is the biggest bit,… -
Re: Drawing Order for Transparent Materials
Depth peeling is not only a "shader" effect but requires special passes in the engine, as you have to render all transparent objects many times. I have no idea about how much Unity would expose. And depth peeling is still not exactly post processing friendly, and things like deferred shading, depth of field all would need… -
Re: Difference from smothing groups vs weighted vertex normals.
Pros: - mostly easy to use and understand - provides perfect, smooth shading on the corners without a need to bake from a highpoly - provides nice shading on the flat faces/ hard surface objects, without a need to bake from a highpoly - bevels improve silhouette - its literally free - same vertex count as w smoothing… -
Low-Poly (sub-1000 tris) character model hands for FPS blend shapes?
I'm making a low-poly character for a game that is less than 1000 tri-polygons. The character will have low-poly hands. How did games back in the late 90s like UT99 or Quake 3 do hand animations? Blend shapes? The character is going to use a gripping pose when holding weapons and open/relaxed when not holding a weapon. Do… -
Re: Help me create the shape I want efficiently and error free?
This should go in this thread 'http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56014' But anyway! If I'm not mistaken there's a hole going right through it, not just cut out shapes at the sides, so what you'd do is that you first have the blockout cylinder for the main shape, without any height segments, cut out a circular… -

Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
In this context I'd absolutely encourage investigating ways to reduce tiling with small textures as Eric suggests. learning these techniques pays off in all sorts of ways (i recommend mocking it up in photoshop/designer, then figuring out the maths later btw). but That particular example.. not sure I'd recommend it… -
Re: Deadspace Door
@Minos: That was definitely a huge help. Mind if I use the color scheme as well? I'm all about simple color schemes myself and felt I probably needed to switch the light green out at some point. I didn't notice how hilarious the ultra happy green looked until I starting working on it while playing the Deadspace soundtrack… -
Re: Normal map photoshop saving problem
with your 3point shader problem go here http://www.3pointstudios.com/3pointshader_help.shtml and scroll right to the bottom of the help section "Why does the shading look bad under 2012 and different from other versions of Max? 3ds Max 2012 has gamma handling enabled by default. You can turn it off here:…
