Re: Orbis / PS4
I do think Sony got their ass back into place. It was significant that we didn't see the japanese guys / Kaz, that the brains behind the PS4 are western, that they recognized they needed easier hardware to develop for and not some weird solution like Cell, etc. The 8GB thing seemed to be a very last minute addition,… -
Re: Nonagons bad?
It is a bad idea to have ngons on a game rez asset. Lots of exporters and engines won't accept meshes that have more than 4 sides, and in production you never want to send a mesh up the pipeline will potentially be sent back to you to fix, especially for something as dumb as having ngons. xNormal for example won't accept… -
Re: Do i model it or use a texture
One consideration point should be silhouette, yes, but in this case, the ground that you pointed at, doesn't change the silhouette if you don't model out the bricks. On such flat surface, you can just use a normal map (maybe in combination with a heightmap for parallax). Then the level changes, of course you should model… -
Re: Alien rock Band - Final Major Project
It's good that you practice the whole range of production from concept thru modeling all the way to texture and setup! Overall I feel like many of the cloths and assets feels like they are made up of the same slimey / plastic material for example the bassist's tongue and jacket are almost the same. What I would consider is… -
Re: Modding counts as portfolio?
Oh I just that I do most of the things when I mod , I first conceptualize the level or landscape in mind , then I create all Assets I think I will need , then build up the scene and if something that would fit better is needed I would usually do it later... But for fastening up time usually I accelerate a lot the making of… -
Re: Snefer makes one hour environments
All rendered in Modo. The workflow is nothing special really, I'm just trying to trim down on things that give little bang for the buck in terms of time invested. Third scene for example, has alot of prop placement, so very little time to build things, so I went with alot of cubes and cloning, meshpainting, slapping some… -
Re: Quadruped Trot to Gallop Transition Request Feedback
Hey, First thing I noticed is that I think you have a few frames too many on your gallop. There's a point where the lead leg will stay in the air for too long - and to straight and you'd be to make them a few short. I thought it was also too slow, but that might have just been me. I think you might be hampered by the fact… -
Re: I need advice on simple low to high poly workflow for curved quad geometry
Ahh, so what you're saying is that idealized curves provided by Turbosmooth are beneficial not because they have influence on the sides, but because they benefit the transitions above and below those sides (for example, into caps). To think about it, you are right, my method makes every chamfer follow the lowpoly sides… -
Re: Particle Effects
I am not sure now what quide I used to load dota 2 particles to SFM... I found those two: http://www.cyborgmatt.com/2012/07/dota-2-sfm-tutorial/ http://wyksblog.com/guide-dota-2-content-in-sfm/ I think mostly I did what is described in Wyk guide with one example that I extracted also particle folder to SFM. I have tried… -
Re: Ranmza's Texture Vault
First and foremost, Hi and wellcome to polycount! :D Seconds, some feedback on your work. The first thing that jumps to eye is the "lack" of value range. Most of your texture are very flat in values. You can see this by looking at the histograms for them in PS set to luminance. Try to work with more values, as at the…
