Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Making a new thread so the texture one can stay textures and this one can stay models Now that I have gotten many helpful responses on my other thread, I now have questions about MODELS. I found this book that goes over creature modeling from the person that worked on the King Kong movie in 2005,… -
Re: Triangule the cage, but why?
Short answer: Triangle Striping. Longer-ish answer: Invisible edges can flow any which way when models are exported/imported. It's up to the ex/importer and the application to define how they flow. If you triangulate, it doesn't give them the option to flip. Slightly more detail:… -

Re: Sony: Nobody will ever tap full potential of PS3
[ QUOTE ] I agree with Vig. I think the novelty of the wii-mote will wear off with time and they'll be left with their games to support them [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure there will be always very fun games for that console. Will the Wii-mote's novelty run out ? Sure, all novelty wears off, but i think it will take a long time. All… -
Pandora closed entirely outside USA
Well, I dunno about the rest of you, but I've been using www.pandora.com a fair bit to find out new bands and music that I like, it's been really cool and I've ended up buying a bunch of albums I'd previously never have heard of. But I got an email from them this morning, they have been ordered to stop streaming to any IP… -
Re: Guillaume Provost articles online
no, the batching is only done when your material changes that is : shader or texture. then you need a new drawcall, the more drawcalls the worst. batching is good as it collects everything that has teh same "appearance" and therfore can be rendered in a single call. I refer to OpenGL here, but I assume DX wont be… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Update Posted
I think that does more harm then good. Because it affects other things as well, and you have to switch everything. Right Click is only for selecting whatever the cursor is pointing at. But other selects, like lasso select all use the left. You will get all that stuff crossed when you switch the buttons. The left mouse… -
Re: UV performance cost when packing vs tiling UV islands?
Back in the day IIRC with what brain cells I have left perhaps ps1 had a uv/tiling limit. in the engine btw every uv seam adds a new vertex (position, normal, tangent, uv1, uv2, binormal, vertex color, vertex weight .... etc etc per vert) for every vert along the seam. -
The basics of creating pseudo volume textures in Substance Designer - Tutorial
I've been working with a lot of volumetric rendering related stuff recently, and sometimes it involves creating volumetric textures. The another method is to use procedural content in the volumetric renderer, at least in real time applications. So I've been exploring the ways of creating volumetric textures for different… -
Re: The Scoundrel
At best, given the concept, it looks lke a mounted weapon for a vehicle of some sort. To me, a muzzle would be at the left end of where the three "energy rods" of teal are. I'd keep the dimensions as is, besides making adjustments to the muzzle. The heft and chunkiness of the gun is a huge part of its character to me.
