Re: Girl done..ish....
Is this an in game model? Just curious, because if it's for highres, can you please show a version with it smoothed? I'm assuming it is, because even for current gen games, this seems way too high poly and un optimized for a game mesh. It very much appears to be a cage for a smoothed version. I think her upper arm is… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
Yeah a slope like that would be a problem, good point. Frankie's example seems like an extreme one, but I'll grant that 256 grays can be limiting. I guess my point is that both have their advantages and their disadvantages. I think it doesn't help to classify heightmaps as being strictly old school. We're working on some… -
Re: First day anecdotes.
My First day in-house was bizzare, I showed up at Fuzzyeyes studio carpark and saw cars parked into the carpark haphazardly, walked into the front door and saw dead cockroaches on the floor, a beaten up vending machine, mum joke cartoons of various team members mothers drawn on the wall etc etc, aluminium foil on the… -

Re: First online portfolio
Enix much better buddy, much better :) Personally I would take out a couple of pieces though, Gir, Nobody Character, Grey fox and the Frog, not that they aren't good, but judging from your other pieces, the texturing and appeal seems to be a bit lower. Another thing I gotta say is your texturing has a great clean stylized… -
Re: Good Tablet for Zbrush?
My recommendation atm is not for a screened tablet, i just got one of those $50 - XP PEN tablets - was on a much smaller tablet real-state before this, the gen 1 bamboo - smallest version. I hear good things now about people and wrist actions on larger tablets being an issue and the small amount of movement needed on a… -
Re: About Pixel Art
It might be, but if someone were to make a Grim Fandango-esque game in 2015 using 1998 texture limitations, I think asking them about that would be fairly legitimate. Think of it like this perhaps: if someone were to make a game looking like Doom or Quake, nobody would have a problem with the low amount of polygons; that's… -
Re: Polygon cruncher or others?
I meant if you want to render your assets/scene in UDK, then you already have a relatively good tool for this. If not, then I would say, make the lods with hand. But... As I see, making lods isnt really "important" nowadays.Of course, we need it, but a lot less than earlier, because of the new very strong devices. For the… -
Re: Old Pimpage
Thanks Paul! Yeah, I had originally put the images together for a small bit on the companies site... As far as budget, the original environments were created for PS3 and x360 with a 100,000 poly count limit on Caesars Palace and anywhere from 50-75,000 polys for the non-casino environments. We never really got that high… -
Re: Need help with new PC (currently: Notebook from 2007)
I use that heatsink with my OC'd 3rd gen i7, and its pretty effecient. Also you can tune it down when not in heavy loads, which is nice. Before I OC'd, I did not have the cooler, and it ran fine, maybe slightly louder being a smaller fan (small fans = high RPM to move same amount of air = more noise. Big fans, low RPM,…
