Re: Student Loan Forgiveness of 2012
Federal loans have that system in place and are pretty easy to manage. The bigger issue in the US is the private student loan system. The cost of schooling is so high that federal loans only cover a tiny fraction of your total costs. So you end up having a small portion of manageable (federal) loans, then a HUGE portion of… -
Re: Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages
MIcrosoft also helped set up the "Domain Awareness" system in lower manhattan, thousands of cameras and software watching autonomously for things like backpacks being left unattended, running everyones license plates, makes and models of cars, facial recognition and tracking and so on. MS and NYC are bundling the system… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
This is what works for me. System -> Preferences... -> Accuracy and Units Unit System = Game Units Default Unit = Game Units Meters per Game Unit = 1.0 Up Axis = Y Though I did make some changes to the script so that when I export my models they face toward -Z in Modo and face forward in the default Unreal model browser… -
Re: graphics card/RAM question
true & also: the cpu handles alot of the processing of geometry/vertecies before its passed to the gpu - so if you want to have alot of verts in the viewport you need enough system ram to hold that stuff too. system ram and the cpu handle all offline rendering - gpu has nothing to do with this. gpu ram is useful for… -
Re: Why use underescores for naming things in 3d industry?
Any name with a space in it doesn't actually have a space when it's stored in memory. Instead in windows something like this: desk chair.jpg actually is: desk%20c~.jpg This is because really most operating systems are MS-Dos based (windows, xbox) or unix based (linux, playstation, maya). And neither system actually stores… -
Re: Portal Update
What if... Episode 3 is another chapter in the Portal saga and they take HL episode 3 expand it and turn it into HL3. Hopefully with a magical tools upgrade to Hammer, their material system and maybe making it less reliant on BSP. What I wouldn't give for a non text file based material system... Oh and some updated wiki… -
Re: How to make particles attack an object
Hey, I had a similar question however the logic involved is slightly more complicated. I want a bunch of particles to spawn and move towards a mesh, however there is a second emitter system which spawns and moves towards the mesh, once it reaches it the first system needs to fire an event such as the point attractor… -
Re: JHS
I like the overall design in the legs. I am just wondering why the weapon has to go through so much to be activated. What is the sense of that weapon system when it could be mounted exterior on a swivel and the arm/racks could be used for something else? Its a cooler design then what I could come up, just wondering about… -
Re: Opening Disney's Moana Island scene in Maya
So, I have some good news and bad news for you. The good news is json files are readable by most programming languages, so you can fairly easily write your own scene assembly system. The bad news is you have to write said system. However, you are able to open up the obj files to inspect them at your leisure. -
Re: Grass in DOTA 2
Inside Unreal Engine something like that would be achievable either through using a Terrain(Landscape) for the base using either an alpha blended or texture weight blended materials,and then using the foliage system to paint foliage meshes on top of that,OR through using a static mesh with vertex painting on it to combine…
