Question, where do you even begin with texture drawing? Is there a tool which lets you draw on the models themselves which is then packed into a 2D texture? Because I can't imagine drawing textures onto a model by directly editing the texture file where you can't tell what gets drawn where.

>>14610990

3d models have a ton of maps drawn onto them, one of those is the UV Map, it keeps track of how much texture space to assign to each of the model polygons.

In order to draw textures on them, you flatten the models surfaces on the UV map, then assign a color map to it


af2abe No.14611000

>>14610990

You can generate a UV map to assign a colour to each face of the model, which you then use as a reference while editing. Plus if you can save your texture then refresh the render in your 3d modelling program to see it update.

Blender has precisely that, but usually you'd have two views open in parallel, one for the UV map and one for a 3d view of the model so you can see what you're doing in real time. But yes. usually you'd mark out shit in advance like >>14610999


7bba7a No.14611011

>>14611002

You still want a good UV map for your model, else you'll end up with weird spacing, overlapping polygons sharing the same map space and having some areas wat up more details than others.

Hell ZBrush used to automatically make an UV map with all the polygons being squares of the same size, you can draw textures on them, but they're going to look like shit in the actual color map.

That's not true, All models use polys and poly count can easily be adjusted.

It might not look as good but it is by definition exactly what low poly means.

God that sounds like fun. If you stripped out the pretentious story they've shown off and the hipster/diversity hire characters, you could probably find a solid idea in there somewhere.

Why they would choose to make the battle menus so horribly shit is anyone's guess.

That cityscape movement where the random strangers collapse as you walk away from them is actually pretty neat, though. Makes the city look "alive" but not at the same time, as they're all just the same and fade as you walk away.

The combat inputs look so slow too. The follow up animations too. They animations don't seem to correlate to your successful inputs, so what's the point of having timed inputs at all? That's half the fun of the system, watching Mario and Luigi carry out your inputs in succession with varied animations depending on your timing wouldn't be as enjoyable if it was just the same animation and the difference was damage outcomes.

Over a year ago I started learning how to make models and textures in Maya. I haven't used it since I made these in pic related (busy doing other stuff), but it was enjoyable learning a new skill. I don't think these are as good as other low poly models, because there's a lot I still don't understand, but it was fun. I did start adding a skeleton to the little Oni character, which was really hard, but I never got round to actually animating him.

There are options, but they're usually not very precise and tend to create artifacts and errors in the model's mesh when you try to reduce the polycount too much.

If you need to create a low poly model, you're far better off starting from a plane and modeling line by line or vertex by vertex.

Your textures are blurry because of how you unwrapped the uvs. There is a craft to everything and this includes uv unwrapping.

Your model looks like a ps1 blow up doll. Learn to draw properly and come back to modeling in 5 years.

Alternatively use t pose references of other peoples drawings and learn to model well. I don't recommend this second option because you wont have the fundamentals to know if what you're making looks good or not.

Low poly only worked back in the day because CRTs did a lot to cover up jagged edges. Nowadays you have 1080p and up, so all modern lowpoly goes for this stylistic cartoonish aesthetic. Makes me wonder if there's a way to pull it off without having the issues of either of these.

It's not even CRT vs LCD really, just resolution. Take dungeon keeper for example. At a low resolution the sprites and the polygons blend almost perfectly together and it fits the syle almost perfectly. Turn it up, and you can see every polygon and it looks like dogshit.

This is where the "This game looks way worse than I remembered" effect comes from.

The stuff you posted doesn't look good just because it's low poly, it looks good because it's well designed and only uses as many triangles as it needs to fulfil that design.

Just because some artists are good at working within certain limitations doesn't mean you need those limitations to make good art. A polycount four times high wouldn't make them better, but a lower polycount doesn't either.

The brakes failed because they let the anchor move too fast, causing it to run away entirely. Brakes were probably in bad shape in the first place, to boot. Those things are absurdly heavy in the first place, and you've got the entire weight of that massive chain to boot. They're lucky that nobody got killed. Anchors and chains are so expensive that chances are, the company will drop half a million to a million on contracting someone to retrieve it. Still cheaper than a full replacement.

Also, noteworthy - just because the anchor chain ran out that much, that's no indication of how deep the water is. Even after the anchor hits the seafloor, you've still got the weight of all the chain from the ship to the seabed pulling more chain out with it.

A buddy of mine once lost an anchor that way. It was not a good day for him.


35b6e4 No.14614040

>>14613881

I think anchors drift diagonally when dropped while the ship is drifting away, so it probably didn't touch the seabed yet and once the amateur messed up the brakes (or they broke) on the mechanism it spiraled out of control. Even brakes won't stop it so the weight of the anchor just snaps the chain once it runs out.

Ships also don't use anchors in deep water bc they'll be useless.

You should try using raytracing then.

Nvidia and AMD are coming out with raytracing techniques to create far more realistic lighting/reflection/refraction/shadows, but it is still very taxing so they expect any implementations to be combined with older techniques. Games designed around low complexity may be the only ones that can really push these new technologies.

Because that doesn't sell. Resources are so free at this point, there's no reason people don't have great AI or any of that shit because it's not easy to sell. Make your game look better, and ad some flashy quick time events and you can easily sell your game. My dream game is to play as a Bethesda-like player character fucking around with a massive 50-players RTS/Citysim fuckfest run entirely by AI. Explore the world and pick a city you like and help it out however you want, or sabotage it But we can't have anything other than high fidelity scripted shit because you can't make trailers and TV commericals that make people want to buy it. Hell, Battlefield 1 actually added in that shit at the cost of actual game play. If you get an "instant kill" with a melee weapon, it locks you into a long drawn out animation that takes longer to complete than just swinging the weapon normally, and will often get you killed because you can still take damage while in the animation. I wasn't even thinking about this before I started typing up my post, but that shit really fucking pisses me off. Embed is really shitty video showing off the takedown animations to showcase how worthless they are.

I assume you can just round the edges yourself, sort of a false style like how Shovel Knight did with NES art.

Low poly as a whole, but you round all the jagged edges just enough to make them look smooth.

In other news does anyone know some good places to start with learning this stuff?

I've been on the fence on it for a while now since I've been trying to practice pixel art but have a stronger interest in making 3D games to sort of mix the two interests into one.

I can definitely say that he's kinda half-full of shit, because I still watch movies and almost no media I consume is hippie indie non-depiction shit.

I think his point was that absolute depiction of reality was not the only avenue of art, and was advocating for stylization as well. If he was alive today he probably in all reasonable reality would NOT be okay with the current "literal shit in a can" state of art and media.

He would probably like other forms of media that don't attempt to make things realistic, he's a old film producer who likely grew up around nothing but classical art and tired of the same thing all the time.

There's different standards of beauty, but ultimately art that disgusts and nothing but is not what is desired. He was arguing for stylization, you can depict the same scene multiple ways and still have beauty. This is an old man who focused on his work, not a political rat.

When I saw Woody at the end of Toy Story 2, I thought it just looked bad. That N64 one though is totally unacceptable. What the heck? You'd think it was a joke.

I don't have any expertise on this matter, but I have always liked cel-shading. I always enjoy good lighting and use of shadows.

How do we achieve pic related, /v/? Pic related is the original Alien Queen animatronic, it's a real picture.

>it's a real picture.

I don't understand the question. What would a fake picture be? What are you wondering about how this picture has been done?

An anon back in 2015 called it, I wish I had the screencap. This low-poly craze is just one step above the pixel grafix's one of 2012/11. You don't have the hardware limitations and skill to pull off the high-effort models and textures that games in the mid to late 90s had. You're putting twice the effort to mimic what people 20 years had to do out of necessity.

>more than 1 person on this board is old enough to remember/own CRTs

This person certainly isn't you. I owned CRTs for most of my life, they sucked. They were big, heavy, expensive, power hungry chunks of shit that broke down too often. Go back to /adhd/

I think Ghost Trick had amazing models, I'm not sure if it was low-poly or not. I know the moves were rotoscoped, but still they're done so well it stands out even today.
