Re: Popbot SDK
I don't know what to add except that I've only recently discovered Ashley Wood's work and love every bit of it, so the timing on this is great. Not much to critique, but it is a bit poly heavy due to the mechanical aspect like you pointed out. Can't wait to see what people do with the SDK. -
Re: Universal Laws According to 3DS Max
#070 Despite having a correctly generated UV coodinates, clean mesh topology, and a perfectly scaled & aligned high-polygon model, Normal Map baking & viewing will never function correctly. In any version of the package. Except when you try to show somebody the problem your having, then it will work until they leave. -
Re: Demo Reel character (warmachines/ironkingdom char)
no I plan on building a low poly when im done, mainly everything will be chunks except the pistons which will be there own parts since they have to move and rotate on there own. Normal mapping 4 t3h win well in either case I'll have a update later tonight so keep a eye out -
Re: 3dsmax render-to-texture wont work
Normal map looks fine to me, except for the scalloped edges. You could fix those by changing the shape of the cage, pimpinmymouth talks about this in his tutorial. What material setup are you using to apply the normal map to the low-poly mesh? Xnormal does a great job with AO, worth a try. -
Re: Conroe .vs. FX-62 (anandtech)
I think this'll push AMD to hurry up a bit with making cheaper, more powerful chips available. Clusters require multithreaded applications, preferrably ones geared for supercomputers (huge number of threads, little branching). They won't do jack or games except allow you to play 24 games at once. -
Re: Most catastrophic loss

Re: Who's married, and how long?
Been with my gal about 4 years now, not married talk about it a bit. She is a massage therapist, and games from time to time usually kicking my ass in Puzzle Quest. Quite supportive of my path of choice except when it turns into hours upon hours of gameplay testing hah. -
Re: TRON - SCENE - Joshua Stubbles
This scene is going to town!, just awsome :) No real critiscism except for the orange light on top of the thing, can't really read where thats coming from. by the way did you add those glow pieces around the white lights trough an alpha mapped plane? Or is it just a litle bit of PS magic:)? -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 now free!
Sorry for offtopic but what project are you working on? Recently have been looking for a mod or indy project to work on and gain the experience. Will download as soon as get a stable broadband. Haven't played much with the U3 editor (except watching 3dbuzz tutorials and playing with the interface, generic browser) but will… -
