Pericolos0 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 why should a character modeller be able to work well with nurbs?
reonid Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Posted April 21, 2007 It's easier to create complexed characters from NURBS rather than from POLIES because it gives easy detail control.
von*ferret Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 So you're going to import those characters into hl2 as nurbs? Polygonal modelling gives you just as much control if done properly, and in my experience been less taxing on the computer.
Section_Ei8ht Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 It's easier to create complexed characters from NURBS rather than from POLIES because it gives easy detail control. um, subdivision surfaces? Polygonal modelling gives you just as much control if done properly, and in my experience been less taxing on the computer. QFT. Polygonal calculations are much less taxing because thats all done via the graphics cards. Spline math is much more taxing because its all done via the cpu rather than being dumped on the graphics card because its an entirely different kind of math. Good luck with the mod, btw. sounds cool.

I know, I was hoping that he'd explain to us that, and why he requires nurbs.
Bigfootmech Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 I am a modeller for this mod, and I told reonid to look for a nurbs modeller... that last answer was my exact words. "So you're going to import those characters into hl2 as nurbs? Polygonal modelling gives you just as much control if done properly, and in my experience been less taxing on the computer." First of all: No. Sweep/Lathe was what I meant, but creation with nurbs. I also have no idea if you can import splines directly into hl2 lol. Section_Ei8ht Second of all: I am not the most experienced modeller out there so correct me if I'm wrong but I assume that as with any other simple shape NURBS can control the level of detail easily... Third of all: I am a modeller, and I'm getting to grips with this, but I don't know what you mean by "Subdivision faces". I also noted that NURBS and NURMS are differrent things from the google I just did.... I'm not too experienced with splines at all. I just meant work with splines to create curved objects easily... EDIT: I haven't even considered "Patch" as I haven't even learned anything about that yet sorry. As I said, I'm not an expert.
Whoot Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Just use poly's and you'll be fine You have a point with the level of detail you can control easily, but the only time i even considered using nurbs was when i was working on a psp game (a programmer told me that the ps series supported nurbs very well) but in the end we decided to go for poly's anyways.
