This leads onto our next big pack, WW2 is a theme we have tossed around for years, at the time we were going to do it in the Simple style but we never thought we could really do it justice. We worked very hard on POLYGON - Dungeons and are very proud of the result. If you have repeated components they should overlap, not expand beyond the 0-1 borders.It's a pleasure to present the POLYGON - War beta.Īfter winning the 2017 Unity award for best artistic content we knew we had a lot to live up to in terms of the size and content of our future packs. I highly recommend taking some time to create a good UV layout or at least make sure you have UVs.

Dimension does require UVs and does not have any UV mapping capabilities yet.

We use centimeters locally so I recommend exporting your.

Dimension does not have a units system to convert between measurements.

Modeling your objects to the size they would be in the real world provides consistent results for importing various objects to multiple scenes.

Generally you should always model to real world scale, even if working on something fantastical.

These are sort of standards of good modeling practices. Quads, clean edge loops, consistent geometry density, etc.

Our program is triangle based, so we don't require quads or non-n-gons, but to Sara's comment above, having good clean geometry will improve your experience in many ways.

Polygons affect performance so if you can model something to the same visual quality with 1,000 polygons instead of 10,000 polygons, simple and cleaner is better. For now here are some best practices we follow for all of the content we make. Great question and I'll look at creating a more formal document in the tutorial/help database. If not, go back and check your model!'I might be missing something, but this is what I do! Now you can import it and test out your model! I like to make sure the model accepts decals and pre-made textures just in case. Select the mesh you want to import to Dimension and go to File>export selection and make sure you are exporting it as an.

Freeze transformations and delete history on your modelĤ. This will highlight the problematic polys.)ģ. 4 sides is ideal! (a quick check is done by having your model selected, go to Mesh>Cleanup and have 'Select matching polygons' and check 'Faces with more than 4 sides' then click apply. Not sure if this is crucial for Dimension, but I feel it is important to make sure all your polys are not more than 4 sides. You can quickly do this by using the auto-unwrap feature (I think 2016 versions and later)Ģ. So assuming that you have a model you feel is ready to go into Dimension, here are some things that you need to do:ġ. I am pretty knowledgable in Maya so I can let you know what I do.
