hit F4 once, then make a screenshot using the "print" key

Hobodactyl: arne is such a nice dude with all the help he gives ey . It looks much better now . Well done.

noob try at low poly.

Ok here we go...




EDIT: Fixed it myself

Ok, I don't want to sound to rude (like I did earlier), so right now the best way to get better is to look at this:




Copy it, and understand what does every line refers to (muscles).

After you're comfy with it, you can try to redo your low poly, but it will take a while to get it. Training is the key. i suggest you to make a thread for that, you will certainly get good advices in the making.

try to keep only quads (easier to handle) and tris (where it makes sense)


also if you start out with a sphere its better to use one with just 8 segments - and turn it just like you did - but it is just a starting point. Often one needs to cut and push vertecies anyway and alot till the shape looks good.

Its a pretty easy fix though psibat

Thanks renderhjs and BeatKitano. That's good info for me!

More of a semi-accurate quick anatomy test, displaying major muscle groups and such. But yeah, I guess it does resemble Gray Fox.

The whole animations system was frame independent and basicly calculated using timer math so that even with a slower framerate or higher one the animation would be timed equally.

as for your grid low poly stuff- it would perfectly fit in this engine (as3 flash, renders n-gons instead of tris and gives extra boost for large worlds)
which has grown a lot in the last month`s although I am not yet allowed to show pics or demos of it.
Some details on your models could be, from my experience, better faked using image transparent planes to save poly faces but all in all I think that your models would work quite well in a flash engine.

Thanks for your answer! My animation is keyframe interpolation now, probably the same as you mentioned - framerate independent, just running more smoothly if you have more power, and I'm trying to avoid coding of bones system which may end up being slower at the end for now

Looking forward to see your engine when you will be allowed to show something from the new stuff, sounds interesting!

Nice work jmiles! The second wire doesn't cut it for me though.

I really like that batman jmiles, Hope you texture it!

nice batman!

ah! youre the guy who did the turtle as well! ;D
both superior works! but, you forgot one crucial thing! ... you forgot a link to the SDK containing an .obj file!!! ;ppp


good job, keep it up! ;D
(pssst, sdk us!)

looks like batman if he came from the incredibles,

Here is a chair from a space sim I'm working on.



***edit***

the spec is insane on that chair

I agree. Here is a pic with less spec.

the spec is insane on that chair. Looks neat, but also looks like it's got a layer of mucus on it or something. The texture is nice and compact, tho. Nice and efficient use of the UV's there, tho some bits are a little warped, like the front of the seat.

juicy chair

Playing around while listening to old episodes of Retronauts I created the three current-gen systems in under 300 tris total.

which one has the most tris?

The PS3 has the most with exactly 100 tris. I guess that's the power of the cell processor being put to use.

You mean for a change?

Nice work!
