Re: "The Only Thing I Know..." Let's talk about being a gamer, life balance, and the biz.
while this is true to an extent, I think it can generally be said that the life path that usually ends in regrets and doesn't foster personal growth is the less preferable one. I spent most of my early 20's playing video games and I wish I hadn't. I know many other people who have similar stories. I had great times playing… -
Re: kicking it out of the system - Fantastique Electron
Hehe Nick, sleep is overrated! As for the foot it might be clearer in that shot, it's actually bent in - but I think it was less in the previous max screengrab. Glad you guys seems to like it. Sculpting 'in place' really is a great feeling. Lots of extension/compression to think about everywhere, very satisfying! So I… -
Re: 3dsmax snaps help?
another perspective-monkey here, although i frequently hotkey to various ortho views. the weird zooming can be countered with zoom extents selected, it resets the zoom of the view. and it zooms in on sub-object selections as well, which is nice, when working in details. i've also changed rotation to arc-rotate selected.… -
Re: Buy Nothing Day 2009
Well I have no problems with this argument if this is where your issues lies with the subject and apologize if I came off dickish. Hahaha... obviously agree but the amount of shit to discuss.... would blow my mind O.o I agree to some extent as I notice this with other subjects. But I personally don't see how changing it is… -
Re: (WIP)Arch Viz Animation Project- Mental Ray
Phewww!!!Finally fixed it.I now know how to use Mental ray to a considerable extent now. I still need to fix the blotches. turns out when u have tight edges and they are far from the camera,u have to fiddle with a lot of parameters to get it to recognize those details. I have already moved away from this to creating other… -
Re: Unity 5 - Mech scene
Thanks for the compliment! I am planning on making a somewhat playable version. The idea is to create some kind of a cutscene that would fit in a military game, but I'm still working on the idea. Maybe it'll be 'on rails' but with free look, maybe you can walk around yourself, but I don't know yet. Yesterday I started… -
Re: Halo Reach - Environment Dump - Anthony Vaccaro
Really dug Swordbase Kivas as I played through, though I thought the snow felt out of place, not that it ever directly looked out of place. Wasn't ever really aware of the snow in-game except in a couple situations where you can get up against a snow-bank. Boardwalk's campaign component was a bit disappointing (I'm aware… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
Yep, I totally agree that for normalmapped stuff it's way better to have some extra polys and keep a single smoothing group, than to use separate smoothing angles or groups, since as you say they pretty much amount to the same vertex memory anyway, and the former gives a better normalmap. One of our senior programmers told… -
Re: [HELP] TF2 Viewmodel model compiling
It looks like the pivot for shotgun is in the wrong spot. In the case of the invisible model it normally means the name of the diffuse that was applied to the model when exported doesn't match the material name called out in the VMT file. The path and extension do not matter, but the name needs needs to match. For example… -
