Re: Character Modeling for the DS
don't get hung up on the "super low poly" stuff that people will insist is what the DS is all about. 2048 rendered triangles is actually a fair amount - everything is backface culled, you won't render anything you cannot see, and it's impossible to slow down rendering with adding more triangles. It'll just hit 2048 and you… -
Re: [WIP] Stormveil Castle - Isometric Game Environment
Another update showing how the project is currently looking and how I'm masking the objects in front of the player. Initially, the walls and floors were only a plane, and the transparency came from backface culling, but I wanted the structure to feel more solid, so I decided to add depth to the walls, floors and ceilings.… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop monthly competition
brojomaan I think you should really take T_Vidotto's advice to heart, he's absolutely correct about the animations. Things like elephants, dogs and horses a) would not be able to fit Mirana's mount's rig in a way that the animal would look normal and b) all of the animations are currently for a feline creature. Your… -
Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
Ah, I understand better now. Personally I haven't needed to tweak vertex normals at all (not manually anyway), and I've actually had incredibly higher success with the use of cages compared to not, in both xNormal and Maya. My work flow leaves all the UV mapping, smoothing groups, and texture baking till the very end.… -
Re: [UE4] [GAME] A Delver's Fate
*UPDATE* Hello everybody. It's been some time since I posted, but I've got some good news. I fixed the respawn issue and am now able to respawn with the sword. Also you only respawn with the sword if you picked it up before dying, otherwise you respawn without it (duh). The next update will be a big one, because I'm… -
Re: PC-CSGO | CSComic
Update time, another cover done, only 2 left to go! I do have the sinking feeling that its going to be difficult to get this all to work on the gun, though it was never the intention to be able to see the full detail of any of the covers - its a comic book cover wrap, just with original comic book concepts. Fingers crossed… -
Re: Watermill_House_Game_Asset_WIP
So i am back with some progress.. I finished the low poly wood planks, so now all i had to do was place them all over the place. So this way i am able to have instances of the same planks without actually doing all the planks separately. The total tri-count for this is 2k Tris. I still have to add concrete/stone behind the… -
Re: PS3 details today.
[ QUOTE ] The chip is reported to be up to 10 times faster than current processors. [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't be too eager to believe any statements that come from SCE, their marketing strategy is all about hype and half-truths. Like the new "more capable" PS2 (which isn't able to make use of the PS2 HDD... I believe that is… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
Show me your portfolio god dammit! I think especially in these times it hard to get a job in the industry and it becomes ever more important to keep updating and advancing your skills but also your portfolio. Coming to sites like Polycount help a lot to as your able to network with individuals all over the world, i… -
Re: Portfolio piece choices
I personally wouldn't try to cover all the bases with your portfolio. You'll improve much more quickly if you're not trying to get really good at everything, but can narrow your focus down to something specific. Odds are with the 'cover all bases' strategy you'll end up being mediocre at everything and good at nothing. If…
