Water flowing in lower-fidelity settings
So this is something I've had a hard time figuring out for a good while now. it seems like something that was avoided in alot of games in the PS2/Xbox/GC era, but a few games and some mods from the era seemed to try and solve it. Does anyone here have any content for doing running water effects within those specs? I'm… -
Re: Future Rome Environment
it looks great but it doesn't make me think of Rome. I appreciate you based it off some real reference of Rome but the reference you choose could be in almost any European City. When people think of Rome they think of Roman Ruins, St Peters and other monumental and ancient structures that the city is very famous for. I… -
Re: Heboltz3 - Workshop Thread
Wip Flying /idle(?) And Game View So I took into account the stuff Helenek was mentioning about long sweeping movements,horizontals, and the game camera while animating this idle.

We Got Tired of “Final” Renders Breaking — So We Built a Gate Instead
If you’ve shipped enough work, you’ve seen this moment: You approve a render. Someone changes one small thing. The final output doesn’t match what you signed off on.

Some tools are different there, but you'll see how engineers think and work. For those who want to try Plasticity, I can confrm, it's very user friendly. Also it has… -
Re: Company wants written tech docs after making tech artists redundant
Wow someone fell asleep during the asshole boss seminar. "You're fired" comes AFTER "please document everything you do". Personally I would be tossed up between being like Richard and finishing the job for the sake of being thorough. OR spending the rest of the time hiding expired meat products in hilarious places. I like… -
Particles & the illusion of turbulence
Hello Polycount! Here is an article/tutorial I wrote yesterday and basically it's about creating a turbulent-like movement for particles without using a vector field or similar. It felt better reposting it here rather than just linking to my website (good or bad idea? layout got worse). I'd love to hear your thoughts, if… -

Mesh proxies also used to make the… -
Re: Online Splitscreen?
Hey Guys! At the moment the Online Splitscreen is still buggy :( What we have done: You, as a Server Hoster (Client) see what the Enemy is doin and you also see his camera movement which is important for our game. So you can see what your enemy is doin and how he rotates his camera. But the Server Joiner, he doesnt see the…
