Re: Any silo 2 users here?
I used silo at work and I will buy me a personal license soon. The programm is pretty nice. Although there are some bugs and no further upgrades (as said above) it has some really nice features. Nice customizable GUI, fast selection methods and a nice subdiv handling which is supperior to maya(<=8.0). As I was used to work… -
Re: bounding volumes for physics and collisions
Which program are you using? Yes I use an invisible low poly cage for physics. Using a lower poly invisible cage will help keep your calculation time lower. It also lets you omit little details that can cause issues like a belt, a holster or rivets. For objects that interact with characters I use biped as a deflection… -
Re: 40% of World of Warcraft Players Adddicted?
Quick follow up with some real world experience to help concrete what Im saying. Edit: As one of the few people on this board with a mental umm speciality thats not afraid to blurp it out.

Re: Soo Yea UVW'S
For me, no matter how simple or complex the asset is i take pretty much the same approach to uv mapping: (in modo) 1. Select seam edges 2. Hit unwrap(auto unwrap etc) 3.

Re: 80 Games
uh, hollywood is complaining about smaller profits afaik. they blame it on p2p but i guess people have had enough of their professional milking of the same old s**t by now. 2-3 hour long games sound like a bad idea. a game is not comparable to a movie, different sort of entertainment. instead, a game should have replay… -
Re: Hair FX Shader?character hair (next geny)
seems alphas have only gotten trickier in this console generation, insanely expensive to render over here. i was told that a certain high-end console has a harder time to render alphas than it's seven, eight year old predecessor... at the same time anisotropic highlights and the new lighting and postprocessing systems imo… -
Re: So yeah.....lego mmo
The universe fits the games they've made. They've always gone for a legos in the real (cartoon) world feel. A bit like taking your toys outside to play. Lego commercials (and every other kind of toy) have always had an elaborate set behind them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KW2oq2AeBM They need to because the resolution… -
Re: Employment without experience
Just because you don't have experience doesn't mean you can't get it. Mod work is a huge way to get experience working with a team while working on a pipeline that an established game company has created. For my first job, almost all the things that were discussed in the interviews were my mod experience (which I had at…
