Re: How to do skill Balancing for a RPG game ?
Testing and statistics. You want to make sure that the stats that are to be balanced can be accessible externally via a script language such as LUA or XML. Don't ever hardcode stats: because you want to exclude the programmers from the balancing problem and have them work on more important parts of the project. It is then… -
Re: ZBrush 4R5
Is there any way to turn off autosaving? I can't find an option to do so in preferences, and I'm usually pretty good at saving regularly. It gets a little annoying when I'm flowing in my work and the autosave pops up preventing me from doing anything for a minute or two... EDIT: After spending more time with 4r5 I'm… -
Re: Student - I'm looking for a new PC and need some help!
Yeah don't spend over $1500. Anything over that and the price curve is out of whack, you'll pay a disproportionate amount for a slight gain in performance for the high end CPU and GPU. If you have more money to burn, put it into a nice 24 or 27 inch IPS screen with good color accuracy. You do not need a professional GPU. A… -
Re: Normal map Bake artifacts? (Warning 9 Screenshots)
It's baking the Z fighting. Most of the green you are seeing is the underside of the faces being baked. Increase the size of your LP so that the Z fighting stops or increase the Bias value to the same effect. Only increase the bias in small amounts, as it's measured in Blender units and a value of 1 will tell Blender to… -
Re: Thug Character WIP
BradMyers82 Thank you! ^^ I'm happy that it was able to get this far for the time I had, especially considering how crazy this quarter was for me.

Re: ZBrushCore thoughts
So there seems to be some mixed messaging when it comes to Core. The storepage as well as homepage for ZbrushCore says: "If you … * love sculpting, messing with clay or just love art * are a 2D illustrator wanting to try 3D * an aspiring game, animation or VFX artist * an artist with big ideas for 3D printing * a… -

Re: Interchangeable Equipment
An even bigger deal than switching the meshes is switching the textures because you certainly don't want to be carrying around textures that aren't visible, and you also want to keep the draw call counts down. A common way to handle this situation is texture BLITing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit I'm sure it's not… -

Re: Terry the monster
Thanks for the crit poop! Hmmm yeah I want the eyes to be like a spiders (image below) I thought it would use too much geometry to actually tie them into the mesh although it would allow me to add a tiny ridge around them, but the problem then is that the eyes would actually squash/stretch with the poly which I dont really…
