Should have it done at the end of turkeyday perhaps. I'm doing a full set of animations so I dunno how long it might take and what I might have to redo. Will be on ices hands because they look SO MUCH BETTER than the defaults. Original Soul_Slayer/Thanez m4 can be found here (http://www.cdg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29104)

8000 TRIANGLES?! That's nuts :p

[whuh?]

I dont know why people have issues with polygonal counts. Its 2005. If you cant handle it, dont use it. That TNT2 card cant last forever you know.

It's a modeling thing, sir. A main factor of a good model is polygon usage.

Yes, but when you want a highly detailed model, polygonal usage shouldnt be an issue(should be reasonable, we dont need 150,000 polygons).

But you have to take into account that in game you can't see all of the details. Far from it. The view is too far away and certain parts never even get seen. Not only that but you can let smoothing do it's job and use less polygons without a visible effect at all.



WTF! DON'T ARGUE! :mad:

[whuh?]

But I want it to look real, and its better when a model doesnt have to rely heavily on texturing and normal mapping to make up on little detail.

What the fuck happened to the skin. Pitch black textures are horrible.

I agree with you there. The actual model should make up the majority of the physical detail. Normal mapping is a very powerful tool, though, when you learn how to use it (it ain't hard, that's for sure). You can make a 5000 triangle body model turn into a fully detailed soldier (or something) without adding anymore polygons. It's wonderful.



btw, what IS the murder capital of Canada? Vancouver?


-edit- QFE to Xhair. Black textures suck. Make that shit lighter and i'm sure it would be mega-huht. Much easier to see the extra detail that went into the model too, that way.

-edit2- btw, I know you're not a 2D artist Fuzzy....JUST GET IT DONE! :p

[whuh?]

Winnipeg. We are also the teen pregnancy capital of Canada, and the Mosquito capital of North America.
