if they really are using piezo pickups in/by the bridge and a midi interface I would be shocked if it was only 200. The midi setup alone would cost at least 150, and 250 for a nice one. I'd also find it extremely hard to believe since the regular 5 button Fender Replica is 299…
Because after the lighting/rendering is done you have to convert the image from linear space to gamma space to be displayed on a monitor. If you didn't un-gamma textures stored in gamma space you would then be re-gamma'ing them at the end after rendering and they would be extremely bright. This guy from Naughty Dog covers…
Good stuff, the only concern I would have is perhaps a lack of competitive pricing. As I began to look for more applications/plugins to aid in the pipeline, the pricing begins to be far more competitive from what I remember in the past. We have far more options to pick from, from the $15 dollar MindTex (soon to be on…
When i bought the ati 5770, i had as alternative the nvidia old gtxs. My ati cost me 130 euros with shipmment in pixmania, and a gtx260 was like 300 euros with shipment. The gtx 275 were too expensive for me. I really don't understand why such high prices. Prices has been dropped, but not much, now that 5770 can be found…

Maybe its the character expressions that are knee deep uncanny, or the goofy acting, I dunnno. Or maybe I am just waiting to…
I'm not sure how many people this will interest, but Manga Studio EX 4 is on sale today only for $29.99 US. It's usually $299, often on sale for $99, but this is the lowest I've seen it. I think you have to use this link (it was from an email) -just going to the regular site seems to show the standard price.…
The Polygonal Design team is happy to announce the generation 8 of our UV unwrapping software Unfold3D. Following customer requests, we improved the UI display rate and the unfolding core now handling much bigger meshes. That was indeed a big challenge, but result is that we really could get unwrap of a one million…
Hey Pedro the tutorial does cover some topics quite well. The issue about gamma is correct though. Neutralizing the specular by using an opposite color is a technique derived from combating lighting done in gamma space. Engines that use correct math (Unreal for example) do not need to rely on this technique as heavily.…
