Thank you. I'll try and tweak the colors and variation in the brick and vegetation. Maybe some geometry brick assets that pop out from the texture. Right now I'm only using 3 different vine props for the vegetation. I'm trying to get as much mileage out of these as I can to save on memory. The 2800 asset, I'm thinking will…
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-raid-iops,2848.html tried it myself with two intel 160gb SSDs. Atto benchmark is pretty much agrees with Tom's on this. It's definitely faster than a single SSD. ...and it's better than throwing away your old SSD because it got too small to buy a new bigger one. Perfect upgrade.…
Great stuff Josh! Thanks for sharing buddy. I love how simplistic all the modular pieces look and how amazing they end up in the final level. I also love how in this shot the steps seamlessly blend into the building: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2863/9512299398_15e94474f6_o.jpg Were there any alpha planes involved or are…
Rise from your grave! They've released a 3dsmax preset for Blender 2.66 and it works pretty well. The navigation is there, as is the sub object selection keys and WER for move/rotate/scale. Get it here: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=28452&group_id=9&atid=127
Made this some time ago, not exactly what you want as the movement needs to be done by hand, but perhaps it helps. It requires a face selection in an unwrap modifier. edit: added a center button to move the selection by whole units to have its midpoint in the 0-1 range -- move uv'sfn F_moveUV movePos = ( if selection.count…
I've been using a radeon 5770 for 3 years, and now, my GTX 680 is going to have 2 years of use. I don't plan to buy a newer graphic card until 5 or more years (I updated my PC when it had 7+ years). With the 680 i play all in ultra nowadays, but i'm not worried about playing games at high quality like with the radeon 5770.…
You can maybe try to disable a specific setting about the lightmaps pixel bleeding. It looks like since a few betas there is some textures problem with the lightmap generation. http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/916768-Lightmass-Issue-%28black-seams-edge-pixel-padding-default-settings%29
Hopefully Relic can advise about splitting further to reduce filesize. I am just speculating here, but I bet they can receive a skin pack split into 8 parts (even though some of those parts would then be incomplete and not good to play with) and regroup them down to the usual 6 or however many they need to. After all, the…
