3D & Animation 10 points question?

[Susi]

Which Nation...

Anyways just playing around, so dont wait this to be done. 8000 tris now, including some gears. Aiming to 10'000 tris on Renderable Mesh

Looks nice, are you planning on making a high-poly model for making normal maps?

 

[Susi]

7000 tris now.. as i played with Mesh Smooth on last one... and now eneded up that you cant really use Mesh Smooth on 10 k model.
So hand made it little bit smoother. Bread Bag is maybe too small.

 

[Susi]

Its now just something like 3500 tris, would be cool to know those
tri-counts where TWI boys are aiming in RO2, would make it easier to
work those.

I would assume you can go higher, though an answer from TWI would be nice here. I would assume several people are already trying to get things going.

Considering your gun is supposed to be a first person weapon i would probably lose the strap clip at the stock since there are only few anims where you would really see that.

Remember to get all your details into the most visible parts in game. Also make a high poly model for the normal maps too! (Usually this is done first).

 

[HobbStweedle]

I think you can aim for around 6k tri's. That seems to be the going rate for UDK ready weapons.

Tri's, not polys, mind you.

Models are looking great.

You should do a high poly sculpt for the character, you could do some really nice detail with the normals.

(Usually this is done first).

more like a matter of preference. Sculpting in zBrush you would certainly make the low poly first.

Year ago Susi didn't even know what a normal map is, now you're telling him to sculpt in zBrush? Now this is something I have to see

Well Xen, year ago i didnt know how to animate or make a map in UE editor.
Now as you can see i made one map and animated few weapons.

So Xen dont underestimate my desire to beat up my head to wall because
of things i dont yet understand. (Ymm

 

[worluk]

Beside the weird interface, i dont think zBrush would be much reason for cracking your head. Judging from your models, im looking forward to see highpoly ones

Well, you wouldn't make the game-ready low poly mesh, since you want to keep things in quads for proper subdivision and sculpting purposes.

You can take a basic blocked out form, and then sculpt the details in. Then export that and optimize it to be game ready.

Going high to low is much easier though, at least for me.

Also, Mudbox is another sculpting program you may want to check out, if you don't like zbrush's interface.

Interesting thread.

BTW - I'm guessing Finnish.

 

[Yoshiro]

So we'll finally get a mod where the irc guys can take out their rage on the finns? It'll be like a dream come true

 

[Xendance]

Or finns prwning you as finns

 

[/linuX/gitano]

Interesting thread indeed.

Susi: you're aiming towards a continuation war mod, i bet? Cool stuff

Finally, finns doing some finns, was about time

 

[Susi]

Okidouki dudes. Have been working my university final thesis or what ever it is. So havent had time to work this project a much.

How ever here it is 6290 tris

Im just wondering did SMGs really need that super highpoly model as they are quite silmple.
