Fair point, but 2k over a lot of models with unnecessary polys is a bit of a waste. Also, if you're going to do this sort of thing, look into baking normal maps, cause you've sculpted a lot of detail on the high-poly one which you've just let disappear on the low one.

I would stay around 1k or even lower; and they would still look good at that poly count, considering the original models. There is no point in potentially lagging the game just for a few more details that nobody looks for anyway (people rarely zoom in).

If EA was able to still make humanoid looking models with 300 poly's, I'm sure that with 1k you can make them pretty detailed.

Yes,I was planning to do that,but I am currently messing with the software.It took me around 15 minutes to sculpt that guy.

 

 

 

ALSO,does anyone have something that they want to see sculpted?I'm losing meh inspiration

Something from scratch would be nice.

Try a spider, from scratch. Fairly simple build.

I'm a terrible arachnophobe too. Like, awfully terrified of spiders. Never stopped me making one.

 

In that case though, try another insect then. Centipede, bee, ant, beetle, etc. They're largely made out of very simple basic shapes which can be made to as detailed a degree as you see fit, which is why I suggest it. Try it, it'll help your understanding of 3D.

Here's a Mini-Mod made by me.
http://www.moddb.com...raphics-mod-bgm

The download isn't Authorized same as the article,but you can see how the v0.1 Looks.

Currently added SSAO.
 

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

So... you added shaders?

[Pavey(Thrandy)]

So... you added shaders?

Yes!It's more of a SweetFX/GEMFX Thingy.

Here's the download.They authorized it maybe 30minutes ago.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

So... you still only added shaders? 

[Pavey(Thrandy)]

Yes.

Heavy use of shaders and sloppy effects does not make for better graphics. It makes for over-the-top contrast/saturation and too many shadows that you call SSAO. I made a ReShade/SweetFX configuration for my own use that actually enhances the game's visuals without making it "look" different. Looks the same just better, unlike this.

So that's the reason your Screenshots on SaF look so good!To be honest,I wanted to make it similar to your screenshots

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Thrandy, I think you're missing the point that we're fully aware of the fact you're misrepresenting your work.

[Pavey(Thrandy)]

Wasn't here for a while!Here are some Wallpapers for you guys to use from my new BG Mod.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Dude... are you listening?

 

Also, learn to use fonts consistently. And more appropriately, too, with less super-capitalization.

[Pavey(Thrandy)]

The model you are about to see is made for my mod.Suggested by Irene Hawnetyne.Everything from scratch.It's still a WIP.It has 842 Polys currently.

Great start. The spikes on the side of the lower walls are a bit much though, any self-respecting Orc wouldn't want to accidentally trip and impale themselves. Perhaps try to take a look at how the BFME structures are constructed for further detailing it before you texture it.
