Re: Advice On Realistic Character Workflow
50k? That was high-end last gen, but... look, try to optimise as much as possible of course, don't get carried away with useless polys everywhere just because someone else did it... but there's characters in current gen games averaging 70-140k. 40k seems to be about the lower end of hero characters these days. Also, either… -
Re: Lowpoly enviroments?
Using vertex blending will always require more geometry, isn't it? NDS supports quad polys instead of triangles, and this will save about 1.5x the polycount in the scene. To be honest, paths done in this way will look much better. You can also mirror textures, and this can save a LOT of vRam. And... Alpha Sort is not… -
Re: [3DSMax]- KeyHydra FREE WIthout DRM for 3DSMax 2020, 2021 & 2022
@huffer I agree with your feedbacks. Talking about keyhydra is really hard. As it's not a smart function but an editor.

So all imput made will… -

iPhone Engines - Cocos2D
I don't know if anyone else around polycount is working on an iPhone app, or is interested in working on one. I started working on a very simple iPhone app a week ago. At first it was a pretty rough start, as I had little to no experience with Objective-C. And then, when searching around for information on iPhone… -
Morepolygons (student initiative) presents a shooter called GRIM
Hey there polycounters! With me having 0 post yet, I guess posting this without coming off as some kind of lame spammer can be quite a challenge, but bear with me. I bring you news from a starting company named Morepolygons, how much more influence from Polycount can you possibly get? :poly142: For the last few months I've… -
Curved Arches
In the forums we've been having an interesting discussion about making curved arches Curved arches they're everywhere right? They're awesome, tricky and can add all kinds of detail to boring surfaces. So why not read up on a few ways to create them? http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83436 Thanks to Makkon for… -
