Re: Basement hall [WIP]
Some wires of a few objects in case I missed some serious mesh problems or optimizing that I can do. This time around, I was more generous with the triangle count but tried to get more efficient with texture usage Special note on the ladder: I orignally built a small step ladder, but once I put it into Crysis, it turned… -
Re: Painting a "flow" normalmap?
I've handpainted things like this before for a pseudo wrinklemap - I converted a base wrinklemap to a gray heightmap and stored it in one channel, then used the other two channels to store hand painted vertical and horizontal changes. Vertex colour would have been useful if you were having a complicated surface so you… -
Re: Medinah Enviroment
id add some 2 more edge loops to the corners of the buildings so that you can make the shading rounded, also add at least 1 or two edge loops going across these so the corners are not straight vertically(they can end in the windows and doors for a nice clean mesh). no sure if im correct with saudi architechture, but houses… -
Re: Maya UV relax
Try giving Unwrap a try? I haven't used Relax in a long time. The trick is that you sometimes need to be a little selective when using it. Like if you did a quick UV Based on Camera, and have a set of faces that were close to perpendicular from the camera: I'd select that set and unwrap them horizontally (or vertically if… -
Re: Jmiles_Low Poly Batman WIP thread

I am a major batman fan so I must say this is really awesome. It captures the look of Batman perfectly while still adding your own style. I like that he's done in SD fashion as well. My only crit is WTF is up with the vertical lines on his suit? They look awful! Also don't like the way you edsigned the Bat Symbol on his… -
Re: Yet another computer thread.
I'd consider small things too, like if you want any extra fans inside the case, cable ties for decluttering, optical drives, CPU heatsink, etc. ...and maybe switching to an Intel processor. I have that very same case though. Its a really good case, if you throw a bunch of fans in it, it'll keep your system decently cooled,… -
Re: max skinning problems
Env files save vertex weights if the vertices have been baked/adjusted by hand. For verts that are just 'enveloped' and haven't been adjusted by hand, their vert weight is not saved out (it is, on the target mesh, affected by envelopes again). The bone envelopes are also saved and loaded but this is mostly useless for… -
Re: Best way to model these gun parts?
Thanks for all the replies! Eq, that's awesome, I completely forgot about chamfering vertices. I was thinking 'hmm if I could get a diamond pattern going on then I could figure it out from there' then saw your post and it all became clear! Glib, your method rocks too, and having two ways to do it should allow me to knurl… -
Re: Rendering in games!
Gouraud shaded, is lighting based on vertices. And color is interpolated across a triangle. that may still be used in games. Mostly lower-end stuff, like world of warcraft, or portable games. Or when you have lots of small stuff (small objects in RTS). often the issue was that lighting quality depended on tesselation of an… -
Re: Unwrap question!
I've decided to put this gridify pipe junk into a button, here is the code if anyone wants it. Select one edge you want to use as the border edge, it needs to be a vertical edge so it can slice the pipe by grabbing an edge loop. SelectContiguousEdges; string $borderEdgeGrid[]; $borderEdgeGrid = `ls -sl`;…
