I'm not sure where this concept of "don't use less than X verts since they cost the same" came from - but we need to lose it. Same with the idea that LODs cost you more. BULLSHIT. Small triangles are bad. If anyone uses PIX - turn on overdraw and check something out that has very small triangles - and there will be…
Honestly I've not seen a game with as many bugs as this one... I didn't had any crashes so far or major break downs (except a corrupted autosave and broken waypoints on a story quest), but minor and annoying things (besides the crazy amount of glitches I've been killed as I was talking to people and enemies came up to me…
Doing an update of an old pencil drawing, but this time she'll have a complete body. Aside from some of the life drawing sessions at school, I don't have a whole lot of practice with the female figure, so there's bound to be issues. Legs aren't pictured yet since they're in the roughing in stage, like everything except the…

I'm no character artist but 12000 tris for this shape is definitely too much. Wherever there's a form that doesn't bend you can think about collapsing the edgeloops there (except if it supports a certain silhouette). I think you could get a similar result in form and style with half the amount of tris. For the hand have a…
Edit: oh, seems that it is possible from the links that respawnrt posted :poly136: Ignore my post, except for when it still doesn't work :p Sometimes you can get away with unwrapping the low poly (or in this case basicly the control mesh for the HP), but it's never gonna be perfect. I got away with it on my car, because I…
[ QUOTE ] Artists = seem to be interested in moving forward, making progress, adding better things and making the game look better, even if it means more work. Programmers = seem interested in doing as little new stuff as possible since they will have to bugfix it later, are completely resistive to adding anything new or…
This 100% Also a quoted excerpt grabbed from a defunct vfx community I was a member of some years ago which had struck a chord that was definitely pertinent then as now, why artists should learn these traditional artistic tenets: And Anatomy for Artists Authored by Scott Eaton
1.) The War. I am amazed at the lackof education in the arts of war in the U.S. today, in spite of the fact that we have the history Channel and some still living WW2 Vets. We Declared War on the Japanese and the Axis the day after Pearl Harbor. Where were our first landings? nearly a year later on Vichy French Soil in…
