How many faces can you get up to for a top town view game with loads of characters on screen for something like PS3 WII U or 360 without dropping 30 or 60fps? I currently got models running around the 600 mark

[Snail_Man]

loads

specific.

i think a closer number would be "a bunch"

@hawt koffee: looking good except for the skirt clipping stuff; could warrant their own bones from the thighs tbh.

It's highly dependent on how you render things, how complicated your materials are and so on. There's really no "magic number" - that said iirc 5-10k for a "main character" type model on ps3/xb360 was considered pretty normal. WiiU i have no idea.

Thread from 2007 that has some good "general concern" stuff relating to those systems; usefulness peters of towards the end.

Thank'eh, SolarLune!

Lots of cool stuff this time around, especially you Koffee.

Much sophisticate. Such high brow. Wow.

Really super cool though. I love your style!

Created some concept art for my game



Trees and bushes ~240tris each
Character ~160tris
Total in scene ~18.2k tris

  I absolutely love this concept art!! I wish I could get into 3d stuff a lot more, but it can be so intimidating! But it would be absolutely amazing to be able to create a character and the world they exist in! Hopefully in college next year I'll take a class or two! I managed ok with the normal model of a character and the texture but when it came to rigging and then putting the character into unity I couldn't seem to get it (and also the fact that I still don't really know ho to program...)

Hahaha nice! My coworker and I were just talking about Max Headroom the other day. Kinda wish they'd reboot it and bring it back.

Anyway, working on a low-poly, hand painted weapon pack:

Last post about the small terrarium-aquarium thing for the simple CG september challenge. The scene setup was made in Unity because I basically don't really know how to properly deal with it directly in max.



It's also on sketchfab:

I'm curious, how do you do your eyes? Are they like Windwaker eyes where they are decals that sit on top of the mesh?

[McMutton]

It's pretty simple:


I model the eyelid area around a sphere, and then duplicate the sphere, scale it up a bit, and then remove the a part of it that I want to use for the iris/pupil part, which is then rigged to a bone whose origin is at the center of the spheres. This way, it'll be able to go around the base eye sphere without intersecting it at all.

The shadow is done by duplicating the sphere again, and then scaling it up so both the iris/pupil and the base sphere fit inside of it,  UV mapping it from the front view, and putting a transparent gradient texture on it.
