It's extremely odd that your old PC should exhibit the same (or similar) symptoms with the new peripherals. They draw what little power they need from the PC, so I can't see them being the problem. Did your old PC get past the 'Power On Self Test' stage, eg did you see anything on the monitor? You're not running the…
Data recovery is a possibility, there are some free/cheap tools to do it yourselfl http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm perhaps that one? I know i've used one myself at some point, but i dont remember the name. It worked fairly well. Throw your HD into your other system and see if it is ok, generally if it…
While its awesome, I cant help but think... Why...? You say texture space was something you had to aim for, yet you included normal maps and specular maps...? The PSP probably doesn't even support normal mapping and if it does you would be hard pressed to see it. As for the spec maps, those could be saved into the alpha…
That whole Netty pot thing sounds like a sure fire way to get Pneumonia if you are not uber careful. Claritin usually works best for me for allergies.... but you're already trying that. Anything that will dry that stuff up is key. I would say stay on the Claritin as if it doesn't really make you drowsy. If I ever get a…
Cool that there's some people here who like machines. I know I make a lot of cars, but I don't own one. I'm more into motorcycles since riding those makes cars seem really tame (at least the affordable ones like a Golf or Renault Clio or something equally retarded). Also cars are more expensive for less performance and I…
Slum, methinks the banter is a little more complicated than 'next gen bashing'. It's exceedingly hard not to chuckle a little over the fact that the thread title says 'hi poly' about an asset that appeared in footage *fiercely* proclaiming to be realtime. Now *that's* pretty bloody funny. But yeah, I can see how that could…
Hi, I have been working on this project for a while. However, I am stuck at a point where I do not know what to do with it, specially with lighting and composition. I am trying to achieve a good lighting, and improve maybe the composition, camera angle for it. Also I need to polish stuff in terms of modelling and…
Some great suggestions, pxgeek (please excuse any typos; one of my snakes bit me 3 weeks ago and it's still like typing with a frankfurt; so I'm using my 'rude finger instead' - getting an X-ray tomorrow. Been bitten by snakes plenty of times ; never had issues like this). So, yeah (I waffle too much) I'll give 'em a try…
That's quite the write up you made Dataday. As far as worry over if Alien artifacts are a "thing" in the Unreal universe, they most certainly are. The whole premise of Unreal 2 centered around alien artifacts and visiting different worlds. Sometimes they mutated the landscape or the creatures of the planet. Regardless this…
Hi all! I got some advice recently to try documenting my projects on a forum to help stay motivated to finish them, so I'm trying that out! This scene that was originally done as an art test (I got permission to post) and I've decided I want to try and push it further to be a proper portfolio piece. More photos on my…
