Re: Need Mentor help and advice for School assistance
Ah I see, well for starters these might be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkcb8GZP6zQ Also I'm only scratching the surface (...pun intended) myself, having recently began testing this popular surfacing workflow however too a limited extent due to an outdated primary workstation that essentially lacks the… -
Re: Importance of Uving?
Generally. you cannot bake, project, displace, etc, without UV maps, so it's kinda silly to even ask what is essentially the basic need of a model. You might be able to get away with no UV's in a Movie studio, where shaders are doing all the fancy work, but it's adds severely to render time, especially on pieces that move… -
Re: Concepting level design HOW?
Big thanks for advices guys! Ash; thanks for writing a complete guide for game level design workflow!! For me it makes sense to make modular pieces like pipes in 3D modeler without uvs or such, and build level with them. If I model to grid, they will snap. Since most of these modular assets are not so complicated anyway,… -
Re: Far Cry 4
I really enjoy the setting and characters, the missions are nice and the environments are too but the weapons are a big letdown imo, most of those I inlocked so far are directly recycled from farcry 3 (1:1 same model hi/low, modified but still blurry textures) but the gunplay is bothering me a lot, as there is no real… -
Re: [CE3] Severalls inspired hospital wing and props.....overgrown/derelict blah blah
Thanks Xerafel, i've finally had some time to put together some more texture and high poly images :) So i've still not quite finished on the environment, i've taken a little time to sit back get these latest images and give myself a little rest from it for a week or so. I'm going to try to update to the latest engine build… -
Re: Re-scaling Hi Res mesh with skin wrap
hey man, while it may be possible that the modifier simply fails to preserve the shape due to accuracy issues if the scale difference is too great i think i would first attempt to insert different levels of deform proxies and bind them in sequence to see if it's just the low poly not grabbing all the high polies vertices… -

Re: rant: tripples, nipples, and technical art
I cant help but feel that this thread can only get ugly. And yeah, what Scooby said. English is not Shotguns first language. Criticism of the spelling and grammar therefore, seems unfounded, but I'm not so sure that criticism of the rant is Shotgun: perhaps I've misinterpreted what you're saying, but you need to realize… -
Re: rant on: stupid UVW unwrap
Sometimes in life you end up having to use tools other people create, the way they intended them to be used in order to get the best and fastest results. They won't account for inability use the tools, or your inability to read when someone explains it clearly to you. Or your pointless emotional reaction to news that you… -
Re: Tyler Walters - 3d artist
I understand completely. I can't speak for everyone in the thread, but none of my stuff was intended to belittle or have a negative connotation. Polycount is unlike any other forum out there in that at least the critiques are honest and not meant to be personal. I would honestly rather hear the truth then have someone beat…
