The idea of a "buy nothing" day does seem pretty misguided. It's like attempting to solve the obesity epidemic with an "eat nothing" day. The point being, the answer to obesity isn't anorexia; it's education about healthy eating habits and a fundamental shift in one's lifestyle. Likewise, the answer to wasteful and…
Not sure if you're being sarcastic (my sarcasm-o-meter doesn't seem to be working properly lately) or not, but the study does seem pretty legit. I'm betting on sarcasm of course, but I think it would be cool to post some info anyway. Here's a quote from the abstract: "We prospectively observed 37 698 men from the Health…
It depends a bit on game, but generally it comes down to figuring out how close the player gets to an item and then basing texel density on that. For the roof you could go with a bit lower then eye level, though not ridiculously much. But you don't have to, and the answer lies in modularity. Here's what I'd do: This would…
Hey guys, I've been visiting this website for months now looking at all the cool art you guys pull off. I also noticed how helpful the Polycount community is and was thinking you guys could give me some feedback on my projects. Anyway, I have a school assignment that requires us to make an environment. Last class, we all…
Yeah I know what you mean. Coming from a Maya/Max background I actually found Modo a bit difficult to really grasp at first. This post has a great video about action centers, I put up a link to more recent versions Senecas scripts earlier in this thread, you should visit his website anyway as it's good for showing you what…

It looks nice though I think isn't he supposed to be a late teenager. His body looks a bit too perfect, if you look at various drawings of him he seems slimmer and his muscles are less defined.…
I've got a question for any of you hardware gurus out there: I’ve had a report from a playtester about a CTD because of running out of video memory (error reports below): comp597×810 20.3 KB PXL_20211205_1333128651596×720 304 KB image1640×909 238 KB They’ve shared their system specs - this is an inspiron 5570 laptop.

Yes in Max2008, 2009 or 2010 you can do that. Though from my experience it is still somewhat limited, it would be awesome if it would be perfect but it is not. Some things do not always work and on the scripting side of things it makes things even more complicated. Because internally it has several nodes of mesh selections…
Hello. My name is Zack Reese, the co-leader and co-founder of Oblivion Inc., and I am working on a Half-Life 2 modification. It is a single player (soon to be sin/mult) sci-fi hacknslash/gunplay game called "The Masamune Project." Here is a description of this one-of-a-kind mod: The Masamune Project takes place in the…
