Re: ScottMichaelH portfolio critique take 3
Get a real portfolio site, the advertisements and all the other random stuff is annoying. There currently isn't even a easily downloadable cv (and looking at my site, yes people do download those things) or link to linkedin. There are a lot of resources here on polycount (from making a site to what webhosting to pick) in… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
I spent a solid few months of optimizing polys, lightmap UV channels, collish meshs for everything in UT and the act of stripping 2million polys out of a level generally improved the FPS by 2 or 3 frames. Polycount is not the huge issue people were rightly sure it was previously. The bigger issue now is texture resolution… -
Re: Online School Recommendation
I agree, I wouldn't go into debt to pay for workshops, especially not if you're paying consumer-loan level interest rates. Workshops give you three things: 1. The video training. This can be gotten for much cheaper through YouTube, Gumroad, 3DMotive, and the like. 2. Deadlines. It really does help to have an external… -
Re: Quantum Gothic - Sentry Turret
Thanks everyone for the critiques! I've been away at my brother's wedding this weekend, so I didn't have much time to work on this. However your feedback has given me a ton of motivation and things to work on this week. @Lazerus - Yeah, the tubes and front of the turret needs wear and tear from the launching missles. I… -
Re: Some (very) basic questions regarding file optimization for texturing meshes for use in game engines
Engines like UE4/Unity are using real-time PBR shaders. Offline renderers like Arnold are using their own proprietary shaders. They are completely different shading models and are not compatible. Offline renderers are starting to adopt the map channels of real-time engines to recreate the material, but not the shader… -
Re: Maya LT
Lazerus, I don't understand your point. Inside the Maya LT scene there is no polycount limit at all. So if you want to have a 3 million polycount model inside LT, that is not a problem. You can "Turbosmooth" it as much as you want. It is only when you export to FBX that there is a 65k limit. So if you want to take your… -
Re: First Scifi Hallway
Thank you. Everyone for being passionate and helping me. I've come up with another attempt. I have tried to be as minimal as I can. Also, I think that part of my problem was that I was having too much scratches and the like in my diffuse when it should have been in my spec. (which I have done in this version) I have also… -
Re: What are some good Texture Tutorials?
Correct, it's also free. I suggested UDK because, out of all the free engines, it has the most robust material editor without getting into code. When you start to understand it, you can create some interesting effects on the fly by inventing your own materials. What you learn in UDK will also carry over into other… -
Re: Steampunk Sub...Portfolio Review project WIP
Okay all, so here is the final presentation I did for my portfolio review submarine project. I still want to add more pieces so truthfully, it is still a WIP I'll return to later. The poly-count is ridiculously high so it is definitely not a game model. I deleted all my unseen faces, and didn't subdivide all the pieces,… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2015!!!
@wirrexx There are no bbcode tags for youtube video embeds on polycount. You'll have to post just the regular-ass youtube link with nothing added (www. youtube .com/watch?v="unique video identifier") and the video will be embedded automatically. Unfortunately, if you aren't aware of that it often doesn't work as designed.…
