It is most visible when lit at sharp angle, but you can definitely see it with in direct light as well. The material is fully metallic though with roughness set to 0.5 maybe, so I guess it's contributing. It's not really banding, because those are exactly the polygons on the lowpoly mesh that are showing up. I'll try the…
If the towers are organic I'd expect skinning, but in any case you always need to discuss that with either the tech artist or the programmer involved. For the explosions: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151900&highlight=dark+forces&page=3
I used stair sizes of 15cm x 30cm. So this might be issue when aligning to grid. I could use 10cm or 20cm without decimals but those wouldn't look right. As the this type of railed stairs might be steeper, I might try to jump (lol) to 20cm height. OSHA violation?
I think he is referring to your very own thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154664&highlight=normal+editing Instead of going the Highpoly Sculpting route, I am only guessing of course. OR are you saying that the thread is obsolete and smooth across the entirety of a project is the way to go now? I was…
Mainly because marmoset is really cheap for what it is (also it's a permanent license), also student license price are for really pricey and must-have software that you need to learn, marmoset takes 15min to learn and isn't a need, you can do you render in maya or max. 130$ is nothing for something you'll use all your…
Hello everyone, I moved to a new apartment and I had to wait a couple of weeks while they transferred my internet, I was able to get a bit of work done in the meantime: I cut 1500 triangles from the count and baked the normals pretty well, there's a little bit of weirdness on the belt back that's about it. I'm currently…
This is something people need to really understand because it's base of so many rumors. It's easy to get in when you have A JOB, a FAMILY or a SCHOOL waiting for you, it's harder if you have NOTHING and you plan on finding something. You also need money, they ask for enough money to be able to live 1 year without any…
Time for another update: Changes: - I optimized the model down from 15k to about 12,5k - Added dripping water from the tentacles - Remade the top shell - Improved the color variation on the shells - Made the pattern on the brown bulbuos part more apparent - Added a painted spiral on the shells - Other smaller stuff I'm…
I've pretty much finished with the blockout. I'm not 100% happy with all the muscles, but I've a feeling that'll change once they're textured and have proper topology. Currently sitting at almost 15k tris. My target from the beginning has been 5k-ish, which I think is doable now that it's coming together.
