Time for my first post!! Ever since October of 2018 I have been working on a real time scene in Unity as a portfolio filler. The plan was to make a video and have the camera slowly go down an old, decomposing hallway that is situated within an insane asylum. (I know, super unique right? ;) ) Joking aside, this is going to…
Wow guys, this kinda blew up, and all of these assumptions are actually kind of annoying. My wife and I have a great relationship. She works out of town during the week and I only get to see her for the weekend. Work doesn't interfere with our time, and despite the time and distance between us we are doing quite well…
I'm personally in favor of separate pages for each project; I find that it makes it easier to take in everything at a glance while allowing more detail on each project. The out-of-focus banner for each project is a bit distracting. If you follow my advice and break it into multiple pages, you could use the out-of-focus…
Hey guys, what are your thoughts on a Bamboo Fun medium (219 cdn) vs a Intuos 4 small (249 cdn). They are both in the same price range, so I've been looking all over the net to see what people are saying. Most are saying the smaller Intuos is way better, but has problems nibs and screen wear and tear? They also mention…
I hope this doesn't come across as paternalism/being a smartass (not sure if this is the right word/how to express what I want - I'm not a native speaker), but I don't want you to later think "damn, why haven't I bought xxx back then instead of xxx". :O PSU: The Seasonic 750 is only $40 more and would be enough for 2 760s…
Yes and no. Mostly yes on a technical level, the metalness workflow isn't as easy to represent (or convert) odd values, however in reality those values don't show up too often. If you're seeing hugely different results with the spec vs metalness workflow, more than anything that is probably a sign that your content isn't…
ha, I've been looking into data about it a lot recently, as in preparation of partially porting luxinia to it. The graphics chip is a PowerVR MBX lite. That is feature wise close to something like a GeForce2, think quake3 tech. From the architecture the chip is same as Dreamcast console. So have a look at dreamcast games…
Some of what your friend says makes sense, however, the original uv map in question isn't really a good example to point to and say this is how things should be done. It has a number of issues, including uneven texal density (which means different uv islands will get different resolution which tends to look bad if you have…
@thepapercut, thanks a lot for the kind words! Believe me, I have an entire folder of junk that I would never, ever, let anyone see. When I approach anything I try to have a benchmark for whats good (usually work by pro which I can compare and contrast my piece to). If my final result can't compare in any way or if I get…
Has the consensus in regard to these studies been reached yet? From what I've seen lately it still seems like opinions are split. Frankly, I haven't looked at any actual studies lately, but at mainstream sources that summarize the overall state of research, or excerpts. At the moment it seems to be very easy to find…
