Hi everyone! The polycounter in 3DS Max is a great tool, but it counts every polygon/triangle in the scene (or in your selection). However, I would need to count only the drawn polygons and not the back-culled ones. Usually I consider them being about 2/3 of the total polycount, but it's never a precise value. Does there…
A while ago we announced - and launched in partnership with Sketchfab- the Polycount Tower: An on-going community project that allows any and all artists to participate. Around that time we had launched the Throne Room contest which, admittedly, took some of the wind out of the towers sails. But! We're here to remind you…
Hey Polycount - I'm a big lurker but I rarely post :x . I have a question for my fellow Seattle area Polycounters - is anyone attending the 3D Training Academy "night of inspiration" (link) next week? I hadn't heard about it (except for a random email I received) but I figured it would be interesting so I grabbed a ticket.…
Im intermediate at 3d modeling but self taught so this might sound like a silly question. I see models in the 60,000 polycount range and lower but the texture resolution on them is so sharp and clear. So is it possible to have a model that is 60,000 polys wrapped with a texture that is say 4K?
Hello everyone! New to the community here, so take it easy! :) So far the Polycount Freelance Job Postings thread is the closest thing I 've found to a viable source of job listings for freelancers. <a href="https://polycount.com/categories/freelance-job-postings" title="Link:…
Pow, right in the kisser! Back in the day - waaaaay back in the day - at Polycount we'd have impromptu "3D fights": A random topic or theme and a measly 30-60 minutes to do whatever we could within that theme. Usually the result was nothing but geometry rendered crudely. From there everyone would dump their results in to a…
I love this website and I've been on here for a while, but sometimes when I have things that I really need or want answers to, just posting it in Technical Talk isn't enough. It's great that the stuff I post there eventually gets read most of the time, but it just takes so long. My last question was answered by one of the…
Hi Polycount! I'm looking to make a splash in the freelance world and thought I'd come here to see if I can find some people I can help out... at a cost :) . Take a look at my website: joshuamayle.weebly.com From there you can see I've been in the industry for awhile as an Animator, Rigger, and Modeler; and have worked…
Hi Polycount, 7CGI is hosting a free global 3D Visualization Challenge based on a real client-style hospitality brief. The challenge is to transform an existing deli into a refined Italian deli and café concept suitable for a luxury hotel in Downtown Napa, California. Everyone works from the same brief, but artists are…
Hi. I have a really large mesh (10 mill polys) and would like to use the 3D viewer to create a cage, but i can't because the limit seems to be around 8 mill. Anyone know if i can bypass this somehow?
