Re: Workshop #1 - EQ
It depends a bit on the application. If i have enough of a poly limit, i'm going to model the low as close the high as i can, as that gap is big identifying feature of the eotech. Especially if its in a game where you can look down the the it in iron sights mode. Now if i've got a lower poly limit, where i dont think i can… -
Re: two heads
on the 1st head it looks quite pillowy like there is no underlying bone structure, especially the transition from forehead to eyes. on both models the ears are super flat, ears tend to stick out more and add some profile to the overall shape. the lowpoly is suffering for chunkisitis ie: the silhouette of the top of the… -
Re: Cyborg
Hello Ok, so hipoly is more or less finish. Still I need to change those cables, but that I will do just before baking normals. Now I need to think about retopology. I am a bit worried about tri count. How much tris should such a model have? 20k? 10k? Still I need to think with parts need to be modelled on lowpoly, and… -
Re: MAX TIP: moving from physique to skin.
"In max 7 you can also use a low res skinned model and pass this data to a skin modifier in a higher res model. I use this to get my characters 80% of the way in a few clicks." That sounds useful, didn't know that! Say I have a rather strangely proportionned 3000 tris character to rig (orklike), and the base lowpolyrig is… -
Re: Quads and Tris and some other things.
I sometimes use subD to see how the shading on the model is calculated since the shading algorithm in use these days attempts to approximate the subD surface that would result from your model. If I want the mesh to reflect a specific detail I'll make sure it's visible in the subdivided mesh, once the subdivision is removed… -
Re: [Portfolio] Jacob Christopher, Environment Artist
yea, very cool. im digging the vehicle model. wireframe rollover is a nice touch i think. wireframes turn me on hahah. the rocks on the ground of the michigan central station look weird because theyre all the same size and very small, and round. some larger chunks would sell it well. i know its not meant to be lowpoly but… -
Re: UE3 asset workflow...
i agree with ae. Get a mockup of your lowpoly as good as possible first so you know it will work for gameplay and the uv's are laid out perfectly, often so they can be reused in various configurations. It's very important to plan this out perfectly, it will save you alot of time in the end if you have highly optimised… -
Re: First Post: Low Poly Heads (amongst others)
The mudbox sketches are pretty neat (cool to see that even just starting out you've got a good mix of smooth and sharp). The lowpoly heads, though, are really solid, and the handheld-spec stuff is great (love the b/w dungeon cell). The only thing that stands out is the vast difference in texel size between some of the… -
Re: New to 3D, is it ok to use subdivision surface on my gun model for my game to make it look nicer?
Title= Q? --Didn't really say much, so i too will add what i believe it is trying to ask.-- Answer: = Normal map can be as high as you want, i'd learn baking it all down for a game, then that way your "lowpoly" will mimic the highpoly, or i am not understanding. If you are doing a subdivision just for the sake of it, just… -
Nautical Tentacle Railgun [Finished]
UPDATE: Just finished!! :D Thanks everyone so much for the support and advice! Hey all! I've been working on a fun project lately I wanted to share and get some feedback on! Here is my reference (a rough kitbash I made of elements I wanted to include in the gun) And here is my current progress! I'm doing the lowpoly at the…
