yep, it could of blown some of the caps and it overloads the remaining caps as soon as it gets a signal that requires more of a load. Does it get really hot if you leave it on for a while? If you turn the brightness way way down does it stay on longer? I recently had a monitor go tits up on me, due to bad caps. You never…
This is how we break our environment tasks down at Relic: * Concept artist concepts an over arching image of the environment as a whole. * From that concept, we dissect it to come up with an asset list of objects needed in order to achieve said environment. * That list is prioritized from "BIGGEST IMPACT" to least impact.…
The concrete texture on the stairs is a tad too large, I'd scale it down some, and you might want to vary the chunky noisy texture with some smooth weathered spots. The edges of the steps could be crisper in some areas and crumbling or damaged in others. Think about how concrete steps age and errode over the years. Also,…
Yo rens, seeing as you're a hardcore halo player and had an awesome write up there, i want to ask your opinion: Does the combat model in reach seem more suited to 'tactical' teamplay, squads moving together, than the previous halo games? That's the impression i got from the videos, and hearing your comments/complaints it…
I partially agree with the spawning although that only really applys to Domination and sometimes headquarters. Also, if anything there are standout weapons... The Scar and Aug being prime examples of insanely highdmg weapons that dominate far > mid range, and if you pair them with the 1887 shotguns youve got a game breaker…
@ shepeiro: yeah, your right I hav never tried to bake the nm-maps with x-normal. I hope this will work for the bolts. If it fails as well I see no other option than haking the bolts into the final map. @ proxzee: I see what you mean but when you consider an spaceship: there isn't really anything which may cause friction…
picking up an old scene. (concept is somewhere in this sketchbook.) here's the basic material in UDK, just diff/spec/normal. Time to watch those Ryan Clark UDK youtube vids and find out what all this material blending stuff is about! Normal map made with Crazybump & Zbrush. Eager to figure out how to do a near-complete…
did someone say priracy? sniff sniff, I heard it somewhere, sniff sniff.....its wrong, end of. I just wish fred was more vocal in all of this, a simple sorry is all thats needed. Instead we get told its all polycounts fault. How dare they stand up for artists rights!!!!! I 100% understand people being angry, Ive been…
@haiddasalami No problem man! Enjoy :D @Prophecies Sure thing! I have made a set of 5 custom brushes that have various alphas and a spray stroke. I make a new layer, create a morph target and then use the first brush to totally destroy all the edges. I then bring it back with a custom morph brush set to colour spray so i…
This has been around probably as long as art itself. Any kind of creative ideas really. I personally believe that sooner or later, the imposter will be exposed whether through a keen random observer, or through the rigors of employment. We've had several instances in design communities where someone rips code and other…
