Re: My Rubbish things that are Rubbish improvement Thread
Hey man! Saw your frustration on WAYWO and hopefully I can weigh with some advice. I've been spamming likeness portraits for just over a year now and while I'm a long way from being a master I think I've picked up a lot along the way :D In my experience the path to getting a good likeness has two pretty basic steps- 1:… -
Re: Playing with weapons
Nice one mate, really glad that I've got you posting on Polycount. Hope you continue with it :D Overall the beauty shots of the weapons are looking pretty nice. Some tweaks here and there should turn them into something really nice. I'll try and give you a little feedback below on each weapon: Leonardo's Sword: - Overall I… -
Re: What is wrong with this image
Your rendering of light and your detail distribution are both working well. The colors are working in my opinion. I think you need to reconsider the composition. Even though light is rendered well, its placement could be reconsidered to create more dramatic shadows (perhaps a dramatic muted silhouette inside the elevator).… -
Re: 3D hobbyist looking for advice
Thanks to both of you for responding - and thanks for transferring this to P&P. I figured that'd be this thread's natural home, but thought I'd check to see if I should be on Polycount at all first. =) So, basically... the project is Caide, a cargo ship captain in a space opera. It's a personal project made with the… -
Re: Adventures in Royalty/Post-Launch Compensation Projects
I haven't done or considered this type of work in a very long time. Back when I did we just called it modding, and the good projects I worked on didn't have any delusions of grandeur or pretense that we were going to make a retail game or start a company (though of course, 1/10,000 or so projects did get pretty big). We… -
Re: [portfolio] James Mashock
It kind of bothers me how the environments try so hard to look bust up, while having super straight geometry. Tilt over some of the stairs' handrail, add a half broken step, make some real geometry dents in the walls (or even just move the vertices a bit) have heaps of fallen plaster. Make sure the keeper's room has some… -
Re: Search and Rescue helicopter: Ka-27PS "Helix"
Xoliul: I mostly used the nvidia plugins, since I'm most familiar with them. I tried nDo for the seams, and I wasn't really getting results that were that different; they were just more controllable. It was definitely pretty slow to transition in and out of nDo with a 2048. I need to spend more time with nDo though, it's a… -
Re: Sci-Fi Train Interior
Minor update: I took all of your guys' advice about blocking my environment out and I have to say THANK YOU. Even though it is more time consuming than I had anticipated, it is helping me greatly to grasp the feel and structure of this project concerning what assets need to be implemented, how I should think about UV… -
Re: Question about Diffuse map
in max / simple Cg world: diffuse is surface with normal at maximum 90° to the light. beyond that (backfacing light) is ambient. so in opengl or whatever you will find two color values you can tweak for light and material: diffuse/ambient. which will be picked based on normal/light relationship. however as normally those… -
Re: Props and Textures
Welcome Oogh. You've definitly got the process down so I am going to comment on the textures individually. On this texture you've relied heavily on a crack overlay to portray proper cracks. What you've posted looks decent, but unbelievable. In the green area that I've highlighted I simply flipped the selected surface…
