Re: laptop for art and gaming?
Right, I've got my beefcake dev machine, quad core, 24" + 20" lcds, I would get very angry if I tried to do art work on a laptop after using this machine. I have a netbook that I paid $256 for, I can use the web, email, do whatever you'de actually want to use a laptop for and take it anywhere without having to worry about… -
Re: UDK-Swirling particles, how?
Hey Nielsen I was able to get the particles to start swirling, it just requires some further tweaks to the values in both attractors. Let me just explain it a bit so that you can get yours going: 1. Start with a basic particle emitter. I deleted the velocity on mine but you can keep it if you want to affect those… -
Re: texturing in the early 2000's - how did you do it?
Very little was photo-slapped. In the late 90's and early aughts a photosourced texture often looked way worse than a handcrafted one. Realize that the resolutions available were really tiny by today's standards. The "high res" pack for unreal tournament characters were 256^2 and often sampled to a 256 color per image… -
Re: level art Art test
Are you texturing at a higher resolution, then making them smaller for your final work? I know some people would disagree with this method, but I think it can help get you to add detail you otherwise wouldn't on a smaller texture. Honestly, when I have a 256 texture, I'll go as high as 1024 to texture it, and then crunch… -

Re: Questions about rigging "maximum of 64 bones"
Hey, thanks to everyone who commented. This is hugely informative. Good to know about UDK specs. Here are some other bits I found: Unity (according to some users) will run with 70 bones with relative ease, but they recommend keeping it under sixty per mesh. tech-artists.org has this to say, "Shader Model 2.0 and 3.0… -
Re: [UE4] Emissive lighting artifact
Hello, thank you for your answer. Of course I considered 2 and 3 as alternatives, but I was hoping there would be a solution instead of an alternative. I increased the lightmap resolution to 256, and also changed the mesh from a long rectangle to a single square (so even more lightmap pixels per mesh, if I understand how…
