Re: Warhammer online Orc choppa axe.. and a trashcan!
i say as long as it looks nice, whatever goes, but you could reduce these to like a 512 or even 256 and they'd still look good. If your just trying to impress the pc community ya, make em perty, but if your putting them on your portfolio, show them at realtime specs. -
Re: Another computer advise thread.
I would wait for a G92-Chip based GeForce 8600 or similar, as they will suck less power. and 512 MB for graphics will be much cheaper today, aswell. There are probably cases with a bit more "spare space" or powersupply on top, fiddling all the power cables from below upwards, wasnt exactly fun & easy... -
Re: Skyscrapers
you might want to try and use a bunch of small textures. a brick, window, trim etc... that tile of course. I'd say nothing larger than 512x512, prolly could get away with 256 or 128 for some stuff. be easier to give pointers if you had an example of the style of building your going for too. -
Re: nvidia makes graphic chip for cell phones
well i dont exactly agree with that .. i think it's a natural evolution of mobile technology .. i do think that many of the features are in fact completely useless .. however things like bluetooth and camera are pretty useful things to have around .. you cant exactly carry around your digital camera every time you go out… -
Re: gta style modding
[ QUOTE ] It's not quad because IIRC 128x256 is the biggest texture chunk that fits into the PS2's texture cache. [/ QUOTE ] Not entirely true, maybe for Rockstars engine, but bloodrayne 2 used full 512x512 sheets for the characters on the PS2 -
Re: Impossible? Hexagon/Honeycomb repeatable pattern
KDR can you post it? I think a non mathmatical version is the only one tht will work. I would like to see how you tweaked it (and if possible ask permission to use it as a basis for mine). All I have is this: It dimensionally will never become a 1X2 enlarging or shrinking with repetition under 512 limitation. -
Re: Best modeling-tech for enterable buildings?
Working modular-ly can be difficult, but another option for you might be to * Take advantage of the grid and use a power of 2 with your snaps * Block everything out with boxes, delete faces, and then use the shell modifier and cleanup as needed. * Make each individual wall, floor, ceiling piece separately while adhering to… -
Re: Workstation vs. consumer hardware
I put this together for under 700. * AMD Phenom 9850 2.5ghz quad core * 9800GTX GR2 512mb ram * 8 Gig Ram * 1x TB hd * 1x 300 GB hd -
Re: Loptop Shopping
I thnk Boxx computers are best for CG. When I was looking around I called them and their support guys asked me which software I was using and were recommending different video cards and notebooks based on that. They know CG. Unlike Dell. However, I did end up getting a Dell XPS gen2 M1710, Geforce 7900GTX w/512 mb ram.… -
Re: Wii on Nov24th @ $280?
Keep in mind guys that the UK price of video games (and systems) almost never matches up to the US price if you use the conversion rate. Things in the UK tend to cost more in general. For example, it costs £275 right now for a Premium Xbox360 console in the UK. That converts to $513. The Premium 360 only costs $399 in the…
