Re: Darth Vader low-poly Character
Yeah, it's hard to say really. On a 400 tri model you can almost count them on screen and tell if it's 400 or 800. Seeing as how he said faces and the majority of the model is quads I just assumed it was quads. Either way my point still stands, even at 9000 tris I don't think it can be considered 'low poly' -
Re: Set up portfolio website, any critiques on the layout?
I personally think a portfolio should be as simplistic as possible. It's good to separate it in different projects but I think you should just have big thumbnails instead of a slider. I didn't even realize you could click on the pictures to see the actual project until I read the comments here. I think you should get rid… -
Re: So where did you learn your skills?
Yeah that's partly why I chose to go to Futurepoly after spending some time learning on my own. I don't want to spend $80,000 at one of the 4 year schools, especially when I can learn on my own and a degree isn't necessary and especially when nearly everything I hear about those $80,000 schools is bad. I see Futurepoly as… -
Re: UDK Texture Quality
Here is the solution... http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80311 SEARCH the polycount forums next time! ALSO, you can set the texturegroup to "UI" rather than render target...I dont think it makes a difference, both work to enable full resolutions. -
Re: reccomended books
the Renaissance started over 500 years ago. just about every good book on anatomy for the past 500 years has referenced the principles established at that time. until human anatomy radically changes your safe with any good book from the past 500 years. thats what i consider a 'new' book on anatomy. you want to go back 600,… -
Re: Build a Female Character With Me?
This is SUCH an amazing initiative. I really hope more things like this sprout up in the future as it only has the potential to benefit everyone involved. Less greed and more sharing of knowledge is key to a healthy game art future. Not 80k tuition. it's also incredibly generous of Hazardous. -
Re: Portfolio question
As far as I read is that they started with 80k and then noticed that it dosnt work as they want, or is too much, not sure, and then vent back to something around 40-50k Killzone characters are around 40-50k but those are people pushing the boundaries hard Last gen was from 15k and up, I think Unreal tournament 3 was around… -
Re: Improve details on older model
You could try a couple things. You could try to multiply the normal map over itself using photoshop and this technique. http://vimeo.com/8025133. You could also try to go into zbursh do a mask by cavity so all the depth you sculpted will be masked, invert it, and do a negative inflate to add some more depth. Last way would… -
Re: Playstation Vita
Sorry to be that guy but: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80577 I was obscenely excited about this before TGS. I'm a huge PSP fan, and Monster Hunter obsessive so I was probably more excited than some, but after seeing Japans launch lineup, I'm a little disappointed. I'm glad they didn't go with some stupid… -
Re: Questions about Gnomon
Good you realized that, since I was about to say the same thing. Related, if you still wanna do studies, maybe the school I teach at is something to consider. We're working on an international program (though don't quote me on how finished that is, might not be for next year), big advantage is it's a fraction of almost…
