xB yourself
Started this evening on this. Gonna try for a final polycount of around 1500 or so, something PSP ready (along with a few 64's for the texture). Trying something different from what I normally do for vehicle models: normally I would start out with either curves / nurbs and convert them to poly, or start out with a cube and… -
PBR : Before and After example ?
Hello dear fellow polycounter, I try to write an article (in French unfortunately) about PBR for a video game website. I try to make it understand its not really linked to hardware and photorealism, how it make a little easier for consistent art direction and so on. Since I must popularize as much as possible I try to… -
Achieving correct proportions
I'm trying to replicate this concept piece. Not sure who its by because there's no artist listed, but you can find it here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/13585-Gallery-Squadron-42-Concept-Art Currently I'm just blocking out the scene trying to get the proportions right, but I'm wondering how… -
help me understand bevels and baking
Hi guys. Trying to understand a few things. I'm making a pretty in depth spaceship model and trying to figure out how to go about modeling it. All the spaceship game models I've looked at, a lot of the low poly meshes have small bevels on the edges. My question is, why bevel these edges if you're just baking down a high… -
[MAXScript] Editable Poly vs Edit Poly
Hello guys, I've been trying to make a "smart" script that combine many functions based on what sub object level I'm currently in and map it to a single hotkey, really inspired by Perna's thread a long while back. Now my problem is I'm trying to figure out how to translate this Editable Poly code into an Edit Poly… -
Re: My first game ready character ( i hope )
Hello Mehdi, looking good! :) I recommend setting a relatively low polygon budget (10-15k max) and trying to keep the clothig layers combined in the low poly. Make sure the silhouette reads well from different angles and up to closeups, especially the face. Look up nice topology from similar styles of games (Overwatch,… -
Re: Artifacts in maya baked lightmap
malcolm - Sorry for being so late to replay. I did try different texture seams but it didn't have any effect on the artifacts. But then I tried turning if final gather and found the artifacts are based in the indirect lighting rendered from the final gather and no setting seemed to change it. So now I'm trying to think of… -
Re: Shader - Rotate Cubemap - Any tips?
Thanks guys, will try and see what I connote with these snippets, cheers! EDIT: OK, so might as well keep in this thread to keep things organized. When I try straight up HLSL, it seems to be working, but when I try creating in a nodal based app like UDK, no dice. Also, it seems to be breaking at 180* angles. Here is what I… -
Re: [UDK] Oil Rig Observation Outpost
Thanks for all your comments guys! I'll try and get the name of the thread changed. ^^ Been working on the scene on and off a bit during the weekend. Wish I could've gotten more done, but I've been sick, so I'll blame it on that. ^^ @Matroskin: I'll definitely try and boost the global a bit. Been tweaking a bit these last… -
Re: Companies where you got started
Hey sorry for the confusion.... I'm not trying to sell myself as a junior artist but just trying to make sure I send my time in the right places when trying to apply. Not saying I don't feel like I'm not skilled enough to work at a AAA studio I just wanted to see which companies out there were more likely to look at…
