Project Files: The final high res and
lowres fountain, obj files, and the final PSD files of the render
passes.
Learn how to create professional low res meshes for next-gen games. The bulk
of this demonstration is in 3ds Max 2010 where the instructor uses the new
graphite modeling tools to optimize and create meshes to be used to capture the
details from the fountain high res mesh. After the low res mesh is created the
instructor creates the UVs for all the modular pieces of the fountain and then
goes into great detail about the baking options to create your normal and ao
maps.
The techniques used in this video have been proven effective in
production to quickly create professional next-gen game meshes.
