@ Super happy cow I've actually put a lot of thought into such things, with the primary rendering being deferred cramming as much information into as small a space as possible is very very important. @Maph Multi-Platform will be a later concern, for now we can't afford development consoles. Deferred rendering is the way…
I love this game, and i love to beat the bad guys in the city. I spend more time fighting mobs than following the main quest :) (like with assassin's creed). The integration of physx and TXAA and other effects makes the experience much better. I love to see how the snow is deformed, the cape, the effects, etc. Glad i have…
In a perfect world this would be true. But this would also be the world where Jim Crow laws didn't exist. Or the spike in hate crimes against Muslims/Sikhs after the 9/11 attacks. Empirically, racial and gender discrimination is well documented. As I said before, you need to distinguish between directly blaming the cause,…
probably the only tablet that will have the horse power to use most professional software effectivley is the Cintique from Wacom. because its essentially a monitor connected to a desktop system. i have been contemplating switching to a Cintique for a long time but i'm still undecided. it seems great for painting and…
Thanks guys! Yea that really makes sense. I'm using toolbag right now. Yea this gens terminology has been so crazy. I get so lost converting maps sometimes. I'm a texture artist at Gametextures.com and our goal is to get all the mats to look similar in all the engines, but at the same time get the best look/quality…
Hey NickT3D, thanks for pointing that out to Praetus. Your description is completely correct. I'm amazed that you actually spotted the pistons! I didn't think anyone would really pay enough attention to see those. When I nearly finished them I figured I might as well have just put them on simple beams instead of a whole…
Woo, I tried it and it's indeed very fast. Started at 11.41pm, everything was up and running at midnight, nice. But I created my own database and update system for my own website so why bother Php and Mysql For Dummies gave me all I needed, I hacked a working system out of the examples in a week of evening efforts. But…
Keep us posted on how you do, Setting up backburner and max is pretty easy, just follow the manual and its a snap. Some things to consider: A File server is extremely usefull. Map the server to something like z: on all your computers and use that as a place to render to, and to store files such as textures and final gather…
Cross platform support = awesome Good customer support = sweet Base mesh editing while sculpting = holy crap! Support for UV mapping and normal map generation = FTW The program is clearly not a feature-rich as major applications like Maya, Max, or SoftImage. For that matter, it isn't even as feature rich as Blender.…
I remember for a long time I couldn't get snaps to work, I thought everyone that could, was nuts and using some kind of voodoo vortex. I remember playing with it for a few hours (max 9) and got it to work. In the end I was pretty sure the only thing I did different from default was turn on "use axis center as start snap…
