Re: PS3 Debut
pogonip: have you ever done much rendering with mental ray? Final gather, G.I type stuff? That shit takes forEVER to render. I aint buying it sorry. That's a real nice video they rendered there The U3 engine stuff looks feasible like I said, but If you know a thing or two about advanced lighting, and examine those Killzone… -

Re: Pixyz, does it work
Have a look at Maya's reduce polygons tool. That seems to give the most control without simply creating a holy mess of triangles (you can restrict it to keep quads as much as possible and mask areas or weight paint the effect. It's pretty good for recreating the quad topology of subdivided meshes. But it can also work like… -
Flaoting Geo normal map bake warped?
I have this very simple mesh with a floating geo I don't know why the normal map bake is warped, it's just a flat surface. I can't really make it more flat lol I can turn off the average normals, but imo I shouldn't have to when the normal is just 1 front facing polygon face. And turning off average normals ruins the rest… -
Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
Modeling is one chapter. Quite a few polygon modeling tools in nearly all 3d modeling software requires quad topology to work. Edgeloop selection for example does not work well with tris or n-gons. So that's the thing that you need to learn first. Modeling with a useful topology. And there are plenty ways to achieve this.… -
Re: Hi! Need some retopology tips for my character.

Re: I’m stuck. (topology for the cloth)
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they… -
Re: Maya ---> Zbrush
Yeah, if you use just the Delete key on edges, it leaves all the vertices behind at the intersection points. Ctrl + Delete will remove the intersecting vertices. You can try making a marquee selection through the center part of your model while in vertex selection mode to grab any stray points, then press Delete (not Ctrl…
