just looked it up and - it apparently triggers a reprojection when you unfreeze again? i try to avoid that whenever possible. in this case in particular it can easily be avoided by leaving Z and feeding it a deformed mesh later on. RE: UI. i have no issue with it as such (as long as auto collapsing palettes is turned off)…
Ok cool, thanks guys. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just upgrade the ram to 16gb than to buy an SSD to use as a scratch disk though? Or would that not be enough for photographers and I might as well just buy the SSD? I've already told her that she might want to buy a cheap graphics card too for the hardware acceleration, but…
Why modelling? because that guarantee good results and I want to bake lots of maps from HP. I'll try to bake AO from rivets and use that AO to make some small depressions on normal map. Painting is always a bit risky. UV's could have some distortion ect. Good Job Mark! I just found the same answer on this video:…
Theme 3 New Age Industrial I decided to use a block out of Deck to show how the theme can be applied to a number of levels. Deck 27 is a recently built magma refinery much like Deck 17. I noticed in the older Unreal Tournaments there was a balance of themes that where generally cleaner and less war-torn and ones that are.…
Just got it, can't wait to clock some time in tonight. ***Edit: It's a very good, if not a bit too simple of a game. Truly a very pure experience for a video game. The mix of 3d and 2d graphics are quite charming, something Capcom should have pulled off far better with their PSP Ghost and goblins game that's around the…
There have been some rumours of co-op multiplayer and hints of a story too. http://sillegamer.com/2011/12/27/god-of-war-iv-set-to-feature-online-co-op-with-kratos-deimos-psm3-jan-2012/ Assuming that isn't all bullshit, I think a better option would be to actually take some cues from the Greek mythology on which the series…
It depends on the errors I guess. If it's something small in your AO map and it doesn't take long to redo then it's fine. Though still not optimal. The main issue I have with it is that you have to redo it every time you rebake. And often it's quite easy to just fix the root cause. And yeah when it comes to normal maps you…
OZCentral Entertainment is currently hiring several Artists for a project that is set to begin in late August. It is a 3d Cel-Shaded, feature length Anime. Positions Available 4 x 3d Artists We prefer knowledge of 3dsmax or Lightwave, and Artists must be able to model and texture both characters and environments. Time will…
Alright ladies, polycount meetup in Toronto, Saturday, July 27th (3 days short of my birthday! woo). Im gonna continue to go to the same place we always go unless someone has a better suggestion. Its close enough to Union that many people can get there with ease. Before I make the reso, I would like some numbers for…
I noticed in the Q and A's that they prefer to keep themes separate and only keep a single wip thread if it is the same theme so here we go. This is my second theme. I decided to use a block out of Deck to show how the theme can be applied to a number of levels. Deck 27 is a recently built magma refinery much like Deck 17.…
