Re: I suck at figure modeling
she's using it as a base mesh in stead of as a low poly. base meshes (for sculpting in zbrus/mudbox) are better when they have lots of simple straight lines/square polygons etc. because triangles etc. cause pinching. (lol, i'm the 3rd person in this thread to say so ;) ). -
Re: Freezing UVs in Maya
You could try polygons>transfer. But that won't work since the models don't have the same verts. Best bet is to lay out the Uvs on the high LOD and reduce down by deleting edges. I would just go back and redo the LODs. They don't take that long. -
Re: Recent Work [Img heavy]
I have to say, this stuff is amazing. Even the polygon breakdowns look appealing on their own. I actually prefer the backgrounds to the vehicles, they have great sense of depth, great lighting, very unique. Seems like no one does unique backgrounds anymore. Very good work. -
Re: hide tangents in viewport in XSI
you mean normals correct? short cut is ctrl shift s (that is for the display options of all the cameras) unless I set that. :D found under display<display options (all cameras) < attributes (it's a tab)<polygon normals or normals are ticked. Hope that is what you are asking. -
Re: Common Grackle - Dragon ? - Character
Wires: Not exactly meant for real-time, but it comes in at about 10,500 polygons. I could reduce it more, but I'm kinda wanting to keep the mesh this way for displacement map purposes. updated spec, added the tongue mesh, which I am going to Zbrush and then work on further. -
Re: In-Game Crowd Techniques, such as FIFA 10
In-engine instancing is the key. These are likely polygonal characters, not billboards. Video memory is at a premium, so it would take too many frames of bitmap animation to pull off all the character variations and their motions. But the 360 and PS3 can push a ton of polys. That's my theory, dunno for sure. -
Re: 3D in games. Do you see faults when you play?
Yeah, I end up noticing a fair bit of weirdness/dodginess when playing games. Strange use of polygon budgets, crappy textures in focal points, drastic differences in pixel density etc. But when I'm playing for fun, I don't let it get in the way. -
Re: My High-Poly Adventures
If you could post the wires for the door we could probably solve the pinching problem. It's probably because of a weird connection between the bevel things and the corner polygons and an easy fix. Finish up the door. If you could get a fancy pants handle done that would be sweet. -
Re: moving from Maya to Max.
Well, there's plenty of stuff you can do to make Max a bit friendlier from Maya (eg. mapping hotkeys like "Focus Selected" from Z to F since you're used to that in Maya), but yes, the workflow especially when dealing with polygon modelling is quite different. -
Re: Cheapy goes UT2k4.....
Yeah, i'm gonna uv the hands and foot's nails seperately and then skin them. I've only spent 7 mins on the rough skin Here's a flat render if anyone's interested Despite a few minor polygon errors, i'm really happy with the mesh and how it deforms too.
