I am making another map and I have a problem. I want quads as you said but my floor looks like this.




And I want to make it look like this.






How do I do it? Do I move the edges closer together? Please help.

Swift loop, connect edges, chamfer the existing edges you want to bring together.

honestly I would have just selected the ground faces and used the Size tool to make them flat.

You mean the scale gizmo?

Yeah that thing.

Btw, I still haven't had time to check out the *files* i'll do that later today.

You could try a tutorial about patch modeling if you want surfaces like this easily.

Oh yeah no prob, it's just a suggestion you don't have to if you don't want to.

But I will be hurt.

But I think it's too advanced for him ATM.

tbh I didn't find it harder than polygon or worse, mesh modeling

Yeah but you're awesome.

Looks nice, however it could be improved if you use the texture project tool, forgot what it's called, but you can basically push the depth data and colour date onto the sculpt from a photograph, this lets you get more realistic looking sculpts if you use decent images.

I used a lot of details from elephants and rhinos on my Thorned Beast.

Hi. I have made a indoor scene and it is supposed to be like a forerunner type thing with fire and spider webs. Like in Indiana JONES AND the crystal skull i believe.

Work on shaders
I´m trying to make them look like the alien metal on Crysis


Crysis Comparison





The hex bump is only seen in some metals, but is there, I now that you got the idea

New bipeds

Biped will have Elite animations


HAZMAT unit will Have normal marine animations


I have the creature in game but the rig is horrible...




Any good rig tutorials?

I think you'll need new animations for that bipedal creature (not the human).

The elite doesn't really match that creature.

Bad thing I dont know how to animate, my first goal is to rig correctly, then animate.

Anybody has diferent bipedal animations?

For your metal shaders, it seems that the crysis metal has a really high gloss point. you would probably be able to emulate that with a really obnoxious cubemap but as it stands I'd say to make your metal look less...burned? Charred? Something along those lines.

That is a lot of geo......






Your alien biped thing looks very much like the M.U.T.O from Godzilla (2014)

Coincidence?

Yep, its the Fermuto, i rip from the IOS game,





WHY CANT I RIG CORRECTLY!!!

You're probably making the weight distribution too sudden. If there arent enough edges to go but it can be a real pain. Considering its an ios game, it would make sense, too.

I didnt knew that was a tutorial, thanks Flanker

I saw another one were they use the weight table to manually fix the vertices but they detach multiple pieces in order to this

Why do you need that many polygons for such a simple shape.
The lot of them aren't even doing anything.

I have a lot of polygons because I like to have A lot so if I need to make I change I can do so without adding more ploys. I can't really explain it but it makes me feel safe or something. I even have a box map with a million tris!


And besides I can easily optimise it down anyway.

Thanks for capitalizing my name.

working on porting all cs:go weapons with their original animations.

Apparently it is considered illegal to port SKINS which require purchasing.

Keep that in mind....otherwise it'd be nice to see a fresh update to the HMF weapons section.

Oh and try to use sensible damage values....not the ones valve seems to think enhance gameplay.

I have remade my "foot" bsp on the grounds that previously it was hard to model and give it detail because I started off with triangles first.


My new one is brand new and is optimized and I am working in quads. I started off with 620,000 polygons and it gave me a lot of freedom to give it nice hills and such.


This is the optimized down version of that.

You still have alot of uneeded detail. Make sure you have "favour compact faces" checked before you pro-op.

Even then it could still be considered wise to run through your bsp collapsing any edges or verts which are just there because reasonz.

LOL

As Flanker said there are a lot of wasted vertices, also the terrain is very smooth and bellow which and the cliffs are also incredibly smooth

Ey! I hope you are doing your part for
#OperationFuuckOffYoutube

That's a good thing, right?

Look at other games and the real world then compare it to your terrain

Corp's does have a point going.

Use soft selection to bring down the peaks if you are basing your outlook on our planet, if not leave it as it is. But bear in mind does it really need to be that detailed?

Especially considering the player would not be able to interact with the higher sections of the bsp under normal circumstances.

ATM it doesn't look like any of your walls bear any specific trademark which makes any of them individually or collectively stand out from one anoher or the bsp. So the added geo really isn't doing much if anything other than curb stomping your FPS.

Food for thought when your design ultimately brings you to the poly crunching phase.

Pretty pictures:

Got too admit they are pretty pictures.
