This isn't going to be just a material solution. Its a combination of material and the hit detection portion of the game. Using UDK as a base look in the "takeDamage" function of the actor class. Included in that is a vector for hit location. So for your player class using this material you're creating you can have a hook…
You already have the camera vector (the vector of the camera's local X-axis)... so I assume you mean constructing the Eye Vector (aka Ray Vector: the vector of each individual pixel)? If so, you could certainly calculate that by building a ViewProjectionMatrix manually, based on an arbitrary camera position, FOV,…
Johny's right. If you're good enough, work will find YOU. However, I think that your portfolio would really have to be super fucking good for that to happen, and getting super fucking good at 3d is easiest to achieve through actual industry work... only my opinion though. Just keep at your 3d, and do as much networking as…
I finished a prototype to extract the major axis (run the script and then drag the mouse, at end of drag the proper axis constraint should be set) sadly maxscript has no global mousecallback, which means mousetrack blocks all other mouse operations. so one would need to do the move in maxscript, which would be ugly so, as…
Good progress @baraa_odeh! Here are a few things I'm struggling with here: 1. Aerial perspective, mist, water and sky I think you are missing the fact that they are all the same. The sky is "blue" because there are water droplets in the air refracting the incoming light. And both mist and general aerial perspective are an…
oh yeah tnx, i didn't really think of that option, such a shame maxscript is so buggy second problem is that the import dialog has a loadingbar, so i thought i'd add a timer that would set a bool to true after 2 seconds but this doesn't seem to work and yet again i can't really see why not ( local PressImport = false local…
I've seen some fuel cell talk about making power more localized. I think Google even has a few shipping cargo container sized Biofuel Cells that help power one of their buildings. Also there is a lot of work being done to reduce the size of nuclear facilities, making them safer, self contained because of the lower output…
Tonight, my local IGDA chapter attended an event hosted by Epic Games at their new studio location. I had a great time. We were given a quick tour of the building, and it is awesome! CliffyB gave a demo of Gears of War, which everyone was excited about...except Cliff. I'm sure he's already played it hundreds of times.…
no its local, but the program was installed on local C and data was on another drive. I moved the project data to local C am going to look what happens. Is the memory and cpu usage normal ? What does it look like when you run
For a top of the line Boxx workstation you are looking at 6,000 bucks :) I think you can get a really decent workstation for 1,500 euros though. What works best for me is getting a computer built by a local shop. I have had a processor and HD blow out on my station. The shop replaced the processor for free and slipped a SD…
