So you lost 230 pounds overall, no matter if you lost it from one weight to your current or if you regained and lost 80 again, thats pretty much insane :O 230 pounds - amazing, can't believe it
460 watts seems overkill? imo should have some high efficiency (80+) with lower max watts... especially with a "simple" cpu and no addin gpu, the entire system will probably have a hard time even reaching 100 watt
First thing is to increase Irradiance map subdivs to 80-100. Than maybe interpolation samples to 30 (but this may eat some small details). Also change adaptive dmc to something like 1/10 and decrease adaptivity a bit.
This has nothing to do with Adobe. It's just a limitation of the GIF file format. It's from the 80's back when alpha blending was a bit too much to ask of the average PC. Save to a 32-bit PNG and it'll look fine.
A standard Blinn material with a low-mid grey diffuse, a high specular level of 80-100 and a glossiness of 20-40 should be fine. A high specular level is really the key to being able to spot any errors in the surface geometry.
How sweet would a true X-Com fps be set in the crappilly awesome early nineties like the original? Set it even further back I reckon so you can get some 80's flavour in there too.
played around with it a little bit, im experiencing weird lag spikes, especially when the camera is still, when im moving the camera my fps is like 70-80 but when its static im down to 40-50.
@Gav Does polycount matter these days ? I mean characters with 25k tris vs 80-100k tris. Of course, if you apply for Blizzard 100k tris characters it doesnt make sense, I mean overall ;) Thanks for the tips!
Not sure if it's still of any use, but I'm gonna say slightly modified geospheres. 80 triangles apiece. Though you can of course use a different geosphere as a base, this one seems to be a bit chunkier than you might want.
I have a question about people who freelance while working a full time job: are you just burning the candle at both ends or do you quote a longer time-frame to avoid working 80 hours a week?
