Re: Pirate Town Set
for a simple planar face like that the ngon wouldnt matter at all. I just made some rubble pieces at work that are a lot more crazy shaped and they are perfectly fine ingame as ngons. I dont want to start a ngon debate and take over the thread, just saying. cool work so far man, the lighting is holding it back and making… -
Re: Halo Reach
It's confusing to think of what spartan class this is. Spartan II's had a class of about 150, while there were at least 1200 Spartan III's. Jorge is a spartan II - he's #052, while the others are numbered above 200, indicating spartan III class. Problem is, the Spartan III's never fought on Reach (according to the books,… -
Re: [UE4] Just another Sci-Fi Corridor
you might want to look at making your trims less blocky and adding some more complex shapes in there. If you just use blocky shapes which mean there really isn't too much visual interest. a good reference point for you would be having a read through someone like paul richard's design tutorials as I think you could learn a… -
Re: Open World Level Design (think GTA)
Yeah, but modern hardware won't have any problem with huge textures, it's all about how much space it takes in the memory in the end. I mean, the same amount of textures, even if you atlas them together, will take the same amount of space, only it is one texture instead of several. What hardware are you targeting? Most… -
Re: Art test for Nintendo Wii
i'd be careful with polys for characters. as i said, you have to skin all those vertices and if you have 3500 verts + 10*1500 verts for some enemies, you have 19k skinned verts. you need to process those every frame(and we love 60 frame games ;) ). i think your engine could get problems. mario in galaxy has about 5k polys,… -
Re: bounding volumes for physics and collisions
Which program are you using? Yes I use an invisible low poly cage for physics. Using a lower poly invisible cage will help keep your calculation time lower. It also lets you omit little details that can cause issues like a belt, a holster or rivets. For objects that interact with characters I use biped as a deflection… -
Re: Maya Cut Faces Tool Snapping
@haikai You are right, but I guess I want the best of both worlds with the interactive mode and snapping to grid or verts. @CheeseOnToast I do use the "equal distance from edge" setting I just wish I could snap based on some sort of grid or unit. For example if I insert an edge loop on some part of a model using "equal… -
Re: [Portfolio] Talbot
for someone coming outta highschool it looks like you have a handle on this 3d stuff. For the content of your portfolio here are some crits, I dunno if i would go back and touch the objects up but more stuff to keep in mind for the future. 1st thing that jumped out at me was the texture sizes, 2048 is rarely used for… -
Re: Stone Wall
I'd seriously consider redoing your layout. Straighten all the islands, detach all the edges that fall along smoothing group borders and then pack them again. your loosing what must be 40-50% of your texture space to bad layout. 512 or 1024 should be enough for this. So far as the rock goes I think your putting far too… -
Re: Help with Sea Knight
Yeah, sorry I didn't post the wires, I will try to do that tonight (not at home right now). Basically, the comp is we have to create a heavily armored knight of any type we can imagine, under 3500 polys, with 2 512 maps. If you go under the "What I'm working on" link in my signature you can go straight to my thread and…
