Re: Article: Game Art Art
Great work indeed, some things I'd rename/add/change a little, hence plenty feedback sent to Simon :) @Mrfred, "down to 8 cycles per FPS" A cycle is normally one "pump" through the processor. For example it can do one arithmetic operation per cycle (sometimes even more) per core. "Down to 8 cycles" may mean that a certain… -
Re: Frankensteins lab
Lightmaps in Unreal store all lighting and shadow information in a RGB format so you get full color lighting and shadows. If you want to go with a full dynamic lighting solution you could use Crytek's Sandbox editor rather than UDK.

R and G convert to a vector of 3 dimensions (while only 2 have a value, which is x for red and y for green and z is defined as following) with angle in… -

Now at 17, I’ve completed several freelance projects and developed strong skills in: * Game-ready asset creation *… -
Re: Using tablets for modeling
there is a system in windows called "windows ink"(wisptis.exe) which detects pen strokes on a tablet PC. It's the thing that plays a little "splash" animation beneath the cursor whenever you click with your pen. However it just gets in the way of using a wacom. You can remove it but it's not easy.… -
