orc concept.

[Sabre]

Looks really good. Anyone in mind you want to skin it? Or going to do it yourself?

He should do it.

im really not looking forward to UVmapping it though.
i can skin organics easy.

Will we be able to see his pen0rz...

:roll:

Hmm... I would hope a Source Orc would be higher poly.

 

[The Man In Black]

Just because we can add more CPU usage doesn't mean we SHOULD, Thothie ;-)

Isn't the whole point of Source to make it pretty though? :|

'sides, more poly's = GPU work. CPU dun care.

 

[Vomica7]

little lower poly mans more orcs on screen.

THINK ABOUT THAT!

and i think bumpmaps would create the illusion of high poly look.

 

[WeissberV]

*gasp* I just thought, since this is in the source section... Is this for source?!?!? If so, you rock! 8)

 

[villager]

If the monsters are going to be low poly, the weapons and armor better be high poly

you bet your ass they will, dont think youll see that many players on screen so why not?

when your raiding an orc village i dont think you want below 20 fps.
besides have you seen the wireframes on hl2 models, the detail is hardly on the body, its more focused on the facial features and hands.


also update, with polycount so far.

 

[Vomica7]

base model is pretty much done, i just need to tweak it so the mesh flows smoothly.

 

[PBarnum]

Gets better and better with every new screen shot.

 

[ceriux]

Vomica you should post your work over @ solentgamers.com and see what they have to say.

 

[Wrath]

Where would we be without you Vomica?!
