3D inspo thread - what gets your poly goning?
Everything Wolfenstein is coom tier
>>975167What's a "3D inspo" supposed to be, Cris?
>>975167This.
>>975167That topology is total dogshit though
>>975167
>>975182it's fine
>>975167>>975168Those are classics I remember having them on my inspiration folder more than 10 years ago>>975182You are retarded, the topo it's perfect to get that poly model's firm without normal map or displacement >>975173Agree
>>975219>>975269Too many useless tris, if he stuck to quads he woudn't have had that awful blocky scalp, lips and eyes are a total mess too, that person very clearly didn't know what he was doing and should've looked up examples of face topology beforehand, good head topo has been posted in this thread earlier
>>975276Very amateurish all in all
>>975276>>975277Considering the age of that image, it's not exactly fair to make a judgement like that about the topology. People back then didn't care quite so much about perfect topology, and you can tell this by looking at Pixar models from back in the day, and even though the internet had made leaps and bounds from what it was back in 2000, or even 1990, it still wasn't what it is today where you can google something and find the right answer for nealy everything. That guy was working with the information he had, within the standards the people back in the day had, and going and saying it's bad because of your topology autism even though it looks like a human head tells me you don't care about the actual artistic merits of 3dcg. That's a lot harder to get right than some stupid topology bullshit, especially on a part of the model that won't be deforming much.
>>975285That's fair anon, I only saw the post about the image being old as fuck after I posted, accept my concession
>>975276First tris are not a fucking demon that comes to kill your 3d model.That mesh is completely ok and it was made to hold that shape without any displacement and normal mapping, we did it that way a long time ago, if you want to compare it to a mesh that is specifically dense with quad mesh and made for displacement yes, but that thing didn't work like that back then, that's poly modelled not a retopology of a sculpture with baked normals. You can clearly see that all those polygons are to shape the fat bone and muscles of the face.I assure you that you couldn't do that face like he did even if your Life depended on it.That image is that famous for a reason anon.
>>975276Shit take, are you new? Did you listen to that stupid tris are bad take while you were making the Andrew Price doughnut?
>>975304>>975305>the thing they got from my post is that le tris le badYou are absolutely and utterly retarded, learn 3d and reading comprehension
>>975304>I assure you that you couldn't do that face like he did even if your Life depended on it.I literally do game ready faces for money every day nowadays anon btw
>>975344No you just made a shit take, deal with it, not only you are stupid but also don't want to deal with the consequences of being stupid, if you don't know better shut up.
>>975345Prove it, make a poly model face that holds that shape with only quads and subsurface.
>>975276>Too many useless tris, if he stuck to quads he woudn't have had that awful blocky scalpAre you retarded? Why are you showing the box and not the subsurface model? Do you know how this works?
>griping about the topo of a subd modelThis thread is for good vibes only
Just post whatever makes your soft body into a hard surface
>>975276>>975345Those guys are pioneers on 3d teaching, imagine being a stupid kid telling the guys who teach us how topology worked 16 years ago that they should look tutorials how to make it.Am I living in the most retarded of times?What tutorials they should watch? They were the ones who teach a generation of 3d modellers.You are just a stupid kid who thinks he knows more than he knows because he makes heads every day over the 2 months he started working with blender.
>>975357They don't know what subd modelling is, you are just wasting your time.This retard >>975276 is telling that GuerrillaCG should watch tutorials...I think this board is just a waste of time
>>975345>I literally do game ready faces for money every day nowadays anon btwBut you don't know how subdivision modelling works?
>>975173
>>975385SubsurfYou can see the same in blender if you add a subsurf modifier, enable optimal display and crank up the iterations to 3 or 4
>>975385That's because some people like the jannies are not straight and so their polygons come out all bendy and stuff.
>>975385Do people here are oblivious to the concept of subd modelling?Man wtf is going on with this board
>>975344No, you are retarded, do you ever know what subd modelling is? It doesn't seem to
>>975432"people" here don't know how to model anything past a cube on Blender
>>975387>local man can't differentiate subsurf from subdivwhy are you even here?
>>975459I think that's just a Blender thing. In Blender, the subdivision modifier is called the "Subdivision Surface" modifier and people like to abbreviate it as the "Subsurf" modifier, even though it's easy to confuse people into thinking that subsurface scattering is what's being referred to.
>>975459>>975473Exactly it's a blender thing subsurf is blender's subdivSubsurface scattering is SSS
>>975459Yeah it's blender terminology. That abbreviation is even used in the codehttps://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.SubsurfModifier.htmlEven if it wasn't, obviously no one could confuse those two completely unrelated things.Sorry I didn't pay $1,875 for a year of Maya access
I've been rendering out some Doom 3 textures for study reference
mmmm chunky normals
>>975167Kings Field 4.
>>975748pic btw.sorry.Btw, looking for female 3D artist to be my gf and work on this sort of game with me. I'm a programmer. reply to me if you are into it.
>>975168sorcery
I'm still such a newb when it comes to planning out a large environment
>>975182I made this
>>975883It doesn't matter if it looks flawless. You'll never be able to satisfy the topology experts on this board.
>>975891After the first pass of subdivision it's all quads, so even the apparent 'ngons' one might perceive at the edge of the face don't break any topology laws
>>975168>24 polygons.>atleast 1k textures with normal maps.this is pointless
>>975905Everything is pointless, life doesn't make sense, why do anything?
>>975906Words of truth, kind stranger. Wubba lubba dub dub!
>>975905Explain further
>>975938Nta but polycount hasn't been a performance bottleneck for quite some time now and I'm not even talking about nanite
>>975941I don't think that skull is ~90 tris because he wanted to make sure performance was good, it was clearly a challenge to do as much as possible with as little as possible.
>>975937I'm what people call a modern philosophy genius my friend.>>975942Yes, I saw that in the low-poly thread in polycount a few years back, the idea was remake that prop with better textures and normal map if i remember correctly
>>975905Have you ever heard the term making it because you want a challenge?It's not that hard to understand anon
UT3
>>976514 >>976515 >>976516 >>976522That garbage looks cluttered and diseased.
>>976526It's called greeble I'm not sure why anon finds it inspiring though
>>976526agreed, UT3 looks pig ugly but the technical skill is kind of impressive
>>976544That art-style came and went real fast, I think it was the fact it became technically possible to have high frequency detaileverywhere due to normal maps so artists just started bukkake'ing details across all surfaces to add value to their creations.At some point someone realized how we've been able to make unlimited detail for a long time in the real world yet nobody this side of India ever goes for that aesthetic as it looks super gaudy to be that ornamental.To western audiences good design will be deliberate design, not one that looks filled in with unnecessary detail for the sake of being filled in with detail.

>>975177>kino robot art style>rich after decades of grindingI have nothing but admiration for Cawthon
I really like the PS1/PS2 aesthetic. Another inspiration is the Mask of Light movie. Though, I doubt I'll ever be able to make something like this.
>>975357I wish there were more modern tutorials on how to subd like this. I feel like a lot of people jump straight to sculpting and retopo for things that absolutely don't need it just because wrinkles are involved and most of what you find online now says wrinkles = sculpt.
