Re: [portfolio] Jonas Ronnegard
Gamedev: I'm well aware of the problem though it might not be totally overkill in some games it's quite alot of tris wasted, or many tris on small objects. If i made it now i would know better, but i made it quite a while ago.. Even though it's lacking in the techs i don't think I'll scrap it "I'll be honest and say i… -
Re: maya 2009 transfer maps
Could it be that you are only smoothing your highpoly using the smooth-preview (1,2,3 on the keyboard) instead of applying a smooth from the mesh menu? The smooth-preview will not render, and that tear in the normalmap could be a hard edge in your proxy-mesh...... But it does look like a hard edge in your lowpoly. You… -
Re: Gypsy realtime game model
Pretty cool. Agree with the comments about needing some shadow baked in to separate out those cloth pieces. The normals look nice and detailed, good folds there, but the diffuse is just far too flat, it's really hurting the end result. Also I wonder why you have all that lowpoly geometry detail around the nipple area of… -
Re: High Poly to Low poly Workflow questions
Marmoset TB2 can easily handle millions of triangles, Marmoset Viewer can handle a lot of geometry too but it depends on the hardware you're running it on. ~1 million runs ok on an Ipad Air 2, anything less than 100K should run well on practically any device that supports Marmoset Viewer. 15K should be enough for an asset… -
Re: Hand-painted Wells
Jessica, there is a well inside Stormwind city, in trade district. And, perhaps, some other places too. Its quite lowpoly, and probably shares textures with nearby buildings, but it looks and fits naturally with surrounding area because this well is part of the composition. A filler piece noone cares about. Taken out, it… -
Re: mechanical / armor designs. How to?
That's because Per is used to do that stuff. There's no special trick. If all you want to do is 1 portfolio piece then it's for sure not gonna be as cool as if you were doing that stuff for a year or two. You'll have to find out what looks cool and what not, something someone with practice doesn't have to think about. I… -
Re: Vincent Valentine Fanart
It's always interesting to try different workflows, I knew someone who would texture their character before unwrapping. I tried it out and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I prefer modeling and texturing at the same time when doing lowpoly work. Not really a crit, but I'm just wondering if you'd be better off… -
Re: High-poly/normal mapped gun modeling
Modelling it in high-poly will look much more consistent and natural (easier to capture all of the small edges that catch light etc.) Plus it's easy to texture since you have a solid base of normals rendered from the highpoly, and seams shouldn't be a problem since it's generated automatically rather than painted manually.… -
Re: Mexicano thread of world domination - aka - lots of models
Looking good man, another advantage to the method of creating all your high first, all your low next etc is this: You avoid running into problems where you create your low poly model too high detail, or too low detail, and end up needing to redo/optimize to fit the rest of the scene. Say you were to just model that stove… -
Re: Black and Gold Broadsword - Critique Appreciated.
Hi! Looks cool overall! Some critiques: Much free UV space. For shapes like this that follow an axis (long), you could consider a 1:2 texture ratio. If you stick to a 1:1 ratio, I would still try to maximize the UV space. Another way to maximize UV space would be to mirror parts of the model. Appearance is rather lowpoly,…
