"They also use proximity LOD (level of detail). basically If you're far away from an object (like the top of the building when you're on the ground) the engine loads in very small resolution textures, like 512x512. As you get closer, the engine calculates your distance from the object and at various points, the engine…

I know this is an old thread, but like the OP I find the smooth brush being solely an alternate key brush to be a very annoying "feature" at times. Don't get me wrong, it's very convenient most of the time, but the lack of a way to semi-permanently toggle into alternate brushes even through a menu item somewhere is a real…
I just went and actualy read the article and it makes total sense to me. They say that yes, a large majority of the studios in canada are indie devs, but almost all of them have less that 25 employees. By contrast 83% of the work force in the industry works for huge aaa companies. So ofcourse the salary average is going to…
You can put a PC in the living room pretty straightforwardly...more so if it's small...and the overall experience is pretty similar to today's consoles, which are not error-free and straightforward to set up in any version of reality.

While the IATSE is an international organization, organizing on a global scale or outside the US is not something I can speak to at length. Please excuse my editing of your post in my reply. You touched on quite a few…
These are the blockout core cmponents. These are to be single meshes, barring the platform extensions, which have been reworked into modular pieces. The trim sheet's changed a little bit. Tiling the house components wasn't working as well as I'd hoped, so they've become their own square sheet. With the house components and…
I don't mean this as a personal aattck, but I find this line of thinking just completely the wrong approach. I'm Catholic, and I'm personally opposed to abortion. And not in a philosophical way - a friend of mine had one when she was 19, and it just wrecked her life. Nothing is making that guilt go away. If I could banish…
I dunno...I may be off here and I definitely want to say a few things and not intend to inflame anyone. As far as I know moral rights are not heavily enforced or supported here in the United States....other places like Europe heavily protect works with moral rights. Moral rights is the assumption that you creating…
In my perfect world, political discussion is fair and considerate to both sides of conflict when each is open to debate. I don't expect any political conversation to go over well in this community. I'm simply providing an interesting perspective on an issue larger than "look, they stole our gun models...theives!". The…
