Futuristic Crate Series
I've put my Ford Probe project on hold for a bit (partially because I'm having difficulty figuring out how to go about modeling it) and have started work on a futuristic crate series. The first one I've been working on serves the purpose of a casket, which explains the cross and the circle at one end. The box that I have… -
I want to bring 3D fights back to Polycount.
Pow, right in the kisser! Back in the day - waaaaay back in the day - at Polycount we'd have impromptu "3D fights": A random topic or theme and a measly 30-60 minutes to do whatever we could within that theme. Usually the result was nothing but geometry rendered crudely. From there everyone would dump their results in to a… -
Re: Feedback: Hair
Nice! Welcome to Polycount! And thanks for starting a thread. It’s a bit bland without some nice lighting to bounce off the hair. Also really noisy.

>implying you'll ever get any better bryce. I think you should try and make the blade a blade, right not it couldn't cut butter, other than that it looks pretty good and I think you did that all last night right? Also try having some more rim lighting possibly. Overall I really like the render and i think it's pretty yolo. -
Re: Max 2010 mat editor glitch with directx shaders
Nope, that doesn't happen to me..btw, why are you still using the old shader? the current version is 1.6 already, you might want to upgrade it to the latest version. I have no idea what causing that but I'm sure it's not the font error, if you notice the one on the right "Default Light" dropdown menu is aligned right with… -
Re: Low poly shadows, need halp quick plox
Err... objects with 100% self illumination cast shadows on other objects, they just don't receive any shadows. The stick on the left is 100% self illuminated.

Re: Talk to me about Lightmaps.
Thanks for the pimp guys! I will admit that when I recorded that tutorial I didn't go into nearly enough specifics of "best practices" and all the nuances of what makes a good lightmap. Here's some additional things to consider: Hide, hide, hide those seams! Just like a good texture map, hiding your lightmap seams is just… -
Sleep machine
This could be pretty useful. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1264358,00.html "A new discovery could make it possible to take a "power nap" at the flick of a switch. Scientists have found a way to turn on deep sleep at will using a machine that magnetically stimulates the brain. A device worn on the head could…
