gameloft port env application
hello :) I've been lurking on these forums for a while, but this will be my first post. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the subject, a port environment with 2 cranes, warehouse and cargo ship in under 3600 tris was the task. This was made over a year and a half ago. I created a lofi pixel shaded 3d for this. few… -
Re: Choosing right polycount budget. Making some charts?
Correct polycount is exactly the number of triangles required to make the object look the way you want at the distance you are viewing it from. Triangles that are smaller than a pixel are disproportionately expensive - this should be your focus when lodding. 90% of geometry related performance issues in games are due to… -
Re: How much low poly is good Enough?? (updated)
Tricount isn't one static figure for an asset. On most modern hardware you can throw 10million tris at a prop and it isn't a problem as long as its covering most of the screen. The shit hits the fan when you have 5000 assets on screen and they're not lodded. Anyway, The correct number of triangles is the minimum number… -
Re: [WIP]-WITCHY BUSINESS CHARACTER SCULPT-Amolina6
Is that your final UV layout? Huge amount of empty space aside, the face looks kind of squished in there. Do you think her face is going to end up with a lower pixel density than the rest of her body. The back of her head even seems like its taking up more surface area than the face. If you are planning on using a 3D… -
Re: How to build a reflective material?
UP: Ok after trying a little bit with reflection I'm still not so happy with the results. The problem is that the image reflected on the surface is very poor. In fact, as you can see in the following screenshot, the reflected environment is rapresented by a very "pixelated" reflection. Basically, I cannot get a sharp… -
Re: Gun engraving help
zbrush is pretty wasteful for this sort of thing, much faster and more control to do it in 2d, and you don't have to deal with insanely high resolution geometry(saving, loading, baking) to get pixel level detail out of a sculpt. When you do it in 2d, you easily adjust the scale, intensity, etc. When its in 3d, if you need… -
Re: Cavity map in 3ds max
Yes, this tool gathers all it's information from the geometry(vertices) itself, it will not recognize any pixel information, it is a tool to get a very fast approximation of those effect, which might be what you want at times... to get the cavity from the normal map, you should use one of the external apps that have a… -
Re: Forum layout updates
The notifications spanning the entire width of a 1920x1080 screen feels rather strange. Though I could see it working much better on mobile screens. To have it not take up the entire wide of the screen on larger screens it probably would look something like this in the CSS: .InformMessages { max-width: 500px } @media all… -
Re: Best auto UV unwrap?
Usually not good, but depends. Most materials use the UV mode that wraps when it gets to the edge, so the texture tiles if the UVs go over. This means along the edge it will filter in some of the colors from the opposite side of the texture. So UVs touching the edge can cause seams. If you can change the UV address mode to… -
Re: Size of texture on Video memory
How much memory does my texture take up? Compression Memory consumption RGB Compressed DXT1 0.5 bpp (bytes/pixel) RGBA Compressed DXT5 1 bpp RGB 16bit 2 bpp RGB 24bit 3 bpp Alpha 8bit 1 bpp RGBA 16bit 2 bpp RGBA 32bit 4 bpp To figure out total texture size: width * height * bpp. Add 33% if you have Mipmaps.
