Detailed Normal Mapped Model

Posted by Indecom4000 on Nov. 28, 2007, 6:01 p.m.

Here i'm going to show you, the model that i showed you before, exactly as you saw it last time, then i'm going to show you the exact very same model again, without a normal map to prove to you that i's not just some really high poly model, but in fact a very high quality normal mapping job.

Now here are two shots of that same model, one with a wireframe overlay, and one smooth shaded.

I'm tired of arguing about what to call this so, for the sake of political correctness, i'm just calling it detailed. Although on the other forums i've posted this, nobody has a problem with me calling it next gen since they actually know what i'm talking about. But for you, i'm calling it detailed. So can we stop arguing about it?

You are no worse then the people who argued with you. You should never take anything on the internet personal, it is a path to the gay side.

Good point, Max. Leave EVERYTHING on the net in an impersonal state. In fact, if it every becomes personal, you're too far in.

well, like i said, i'm done arguing about it, and i've made the changes to my topic to reflect my wanting to stop the arguing. There is no point in continuing, because someone is always willing to be a jerk on the internet, no matter what you do to prevent it.

Ooooookay…

First off, Indecom, yes, those models are nice. You must have spent some time on that, and with a good texture, it would look even better, doubly so after some anti-aliasing.

However, this site is populated by people in GM. Most of them would have trouble getting a model imported into GM (assuming they even know 3D), much less normal mapping - basically everyone on this site are gamedev hobbiests, and only a few like myself are into serious game development, such as C++/#. Even then, GM has nowhere near the capability needed for high-end models. Its like trying to sell a Boeing 747 to a guy who has a hangar for a Cessna.

Also, you come across as exceedingly arrogant, and not to mention hypocritical, what with getting after someone for cursing, when right in your previous comment you yourself did the same thing. Although you have worked hard to hone your skills, and you feel you deserve praise for your work, get off your high horse and realize that the world is full of nitpicky little people who argue over the slightest thing. People will not fall down and worship you at the drop of a hat, Its life. Deal with it.

And that last bit goes for everyone, not just Indecom. Yes, I mean you sk8. So quit nit-picking over names and technicalities.

And yes, I know I could not even come close to your level of detail on that model, but so what? I can do other things. Among other things, I remember almost everything I read. Off the top of my head, I can define tryptophan, dendrochronology, and syzygy. I can do high-level math in my head where almost everyone else needs a calculator. So what?

Yea, i agree with you, and i'm sorry for my behavior earlier, i was merely upset at the lack of courtesy. I dont want people to love my models, i dont want them to tell me how great they are, i just want people to judge the models for themselves, not for their names.

Edit: also, i meant this model pack for the people who'd be using 3d expansions for gm, i understand gm's lack in 3d support and that at a poly count this high, good luck getting the game to run at most at 10 frames a second.
