Ah, I see. I think there's not much you can do, as raytracing simulates all of the lighting in a physically accurate way. What AO option do you use when using the raster render (raytracing off), Screen-space or Raytraced? I wonder if with the latter, the result is comparable. Maybe from years looking at real-time…
well, the other point that hasn't been said when it comes to making twitter/facebook/webpage etc. for something that is in the extremes of it's infancy, is that there will be times when you literally can't update for a while, because all of the stuff you're doing is behind the scenes. there are plenty of projects out there…
At first glance it looks pretty good, but if you look closer in detail you can see quite a lot of differences from your reference. - First off, like Theklu said, it misses the damage from your reference. The scratches give a lot of realism to the end result. I especially like the scraped off square pattern at the bottom of…
Couple concerning things: -The initial quake moved Japan 8 feet to the east. -The quake also shifted the axis of the planet, and made days lose one millisecond. -The nuclear crisis shouldn't be overlooked either. You're also aware of the volcanic eruptions, right? Two in Russia and one in Indonesia went off right as the…
Yep, many engines do it fine. I've noticed there's often a hairline seam, but mostly it's not too noticeable. A trick on UDN for fixing the specular seam. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ContentBlog.html#Fixing%20specular%20highlights%20when%20using%20X%20and%20Y%20symmetrical%20texture%20mirroring One way to avoid it…
Alright, I apologize for the forward response. I see your point. However, I noticed you use another font for your game that I think fits the game much more appropriately than the free Tron-esque font. Maybe sticking to one type of title would be less distracting. I realize in retrospect that saying "Ripped off Mass Effect…
I can kind of relate to this. I had a studio manager/pr who would constantly interrupt me whilst working. She seemed to have no work to do, so every five minutes, she would come in the studio, mouthing off, swinging off the back of my chair. It used to drive me insane and was one of the reasons why I left that particular…
I JUST got mine back a few days ago. Personally I had no problems whatsoever. I didn't even talk to anyone or have to answer any interview questions (I heard a lot of horror stories about the phone calls too). All I did was go online to the XBox site, give them my information and serial number, and fill out a 500 word…
I loved thinking that the stampede scene was over the top, but then they come out to the ledge and Billy runs along the cliff, jumping off the landslide chunks as they fall, then Jackson tops it off with the ridiculous pile-up at the end. I went in without any expectations of them taking the high road with this movie, and…
Some hour or two after setting a personal goal at 10k, I finally reached 11627 meters. There is one slight difference that you may not have seen unless you've made it a few thousand. There's a giant ship silhouette that slowly drifts by in the background at one point. But that's as exciting as it gets... I found it easier…
