I've got the head mesh to look exactly like homer... the problem is the head is about 1k polys so I'm trying to reduce the polycount immensely :D (shouldn't be too bad, but since homer is very plump and round he isn't kind on polycounts. I love your... [Read More]

I understand your concern for LODS Klorel, and right now it's lookin like homer is going to be heavy model (especially darth homer). Right now the mesh is basically what you would call a naked homer (only partial completion). Since naked homer will b... [Read More]

So I should do away with the classic White T shirt and blue jeans homer? I guess people would rather use him dressed up as a jedi or vader. It will be much easier to make creative skins for the regular homer though (the Q2 model had tons of skin vari... [Read More]

While comic book guy might be a cool addition later on (he roughly has the same body as homer, I would just need to make a new head) I'm quite set on making homer right now. Hmm... running into a dilemma here as I'm building homer. Do I make him wi... [Read More]

The 500 vertex limit is per object. You could have your head in three or four objects if you are going to be above 500 vertices. My homer model will have the head as Head, Head_eyes, and Head_mouth to deal with this. 500 vertices is a LOT. There is... [Read More]

Whoa this thread moves fast :) Double edges shouldn't be too much of a problem, not as bad as double vertices (weighing becomes frustrating). If you really want to get rid oft them though (save before you try) select the edge in question and just re... [Read More]

The game will do it's own smooth shading (You'll have to put it into the .car file as a command but thats one of the last steps of modelling...) If you want to have an idea how the smoothing is going to look, you can allways smooth objects in max. Bu... [Read More]
