Wire Parameters are what we used in GTA4, but lately I've been experimenting with Float Expression controllers instead - they allow easy clamping, so you can say rotate this bone at 50% of its parents rotation, but only between here and here. You can set up float expression controllers for objects to control their position…
Sorry to clutter up your thread with this, maybe we should move this discussion to another thread? http://www.wunderboy.org/blog/175 I use the 3dsMax smd exporter, it works in 3dsMax 2k8 just fine, the importer does not. Milkshape3D's smd decompiler still works if you want to get models out of Source but it triangulates…
I just looked for some similar tools to what I want to do in the internet. And some are indeed interesting like how they structured the interface, added additional functionality and how streamlined the workflow is (often not that good imo.). anyway the ones I found: seamless texture generator Price: EUR 34.95…

Hey there, welcome to PC. Context, I'm not sure what kind of game these would go into, what engine you would use or how important these objects are to the overall game. Without that info its kind of hard to give a critique. Also make sure to count triangles not polys. The crate: - There is a lot of similarity in the…
My thoughts: 1. win XP 32 is almost dead(near complete EoL). On the other hand it cannot support more than 3,5Gb of RAM(with dirty tricks). x64 is superior in all the aspects. Vista also offers DX10 and video memory virtualization(which is VERY important when dealing with big meshes... and xp64 cannot do this). Some shops…
This is why its important to learn why a rule of thumb is created, instead of just following it. You need to learn why so you can adapt it to your situation. It's not as clear cut as height X 4 = texture size. The examples I was talking about in the other thread where about a box which translates pretty well because it…

Hey guys, I've recently joined a company out in Asia which specifically utilizes the Unity Engine for Mobile Games Platform. They have loads of restrictions so they've naturally chosen to go with hand painted textures / no lighting for the most part on all their releases and likely upcoming releases. My problem now is that…
What @BIGTIMEMASTER wrote is a great guideline. And figuring out how many triangles to have is just something you'll eventually learn in time and with work experience. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about your candles but I'd like to show you the candles I made recently and to give you an idea of my thought process to…
