Re: Storm learning character creation
imo a sphere makes you do all the work and remember the shapes/proportions better. i did a livestream recently where i made a torsostudy from a sphere, maybe it helps you a bit to see how i approach it http://www.livestream.com/polydrawer/video?clipId=pla_9e12f93b-7f88-49ff-b39d-cebf2e7041a2 -

Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
The more I think about it, the sphere-test isn't actually all that bad, the poles are still generally within a reasonable density limit. But here is a much better example, and likely more realistic testcase anyway. A long cylinder! With traditional modeling, we would get a model that looks like the low on the left, but for… -
Re: Steam box hardware announced at CES
I've seen mITX cases that barely hit 70C, they can be cooled as efficiently as a full tower and be just as quiet as long as you have a decent case. Also if this is right, I don't know how you could make a cheaper PC yourself CyberPowerPC - $499 and up CPU - AMD/Intel Core i5 CPU Graphics - AMD Radeon R9 270/Nvidia GTX 760… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
i perfectly know that snader. You also don't get what i wanted to say, but the image you posted is perfect. As i already said, one pixel may be hundreds of dots. In that pic less... :) With higher resolutions, a pixel can be very close to a bunch of dots. What is better?, a pixel represented by 8x8 dots, or 200x200dots?… -
Re: Understanding tangent and binormal workflows between programs?
Still a very confusing topic for me but from what I learned is that most programs now, like Substance, Xnormal, and Knald all use Mikkt space as the tangent space calculator to bake normal maps. Maya and 3ds max use a different tangent space calculator to bake normal maps. If you are exporting a mesh from Maya/3ds max to… -

Re: Baking Issue (Again)
This isn't something that you will want to fix for this asset, but you have a major problem going on here. Simply put, you've modeled everything much too litterally, and you're not letting the normal map do much work here. Almost all of your shapes are actually modeled out in the lowpoly, which means you're using much more… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!
Here's a little quick sculpting/ low poly retopo practice. Initial Sculpt, 49680 triangles. Final low-poly mesh, 320 triangles. Normal and diffuse maps 1024 x1024
