Re: Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark" Helicopter
Nice model and bake, but I feel the material needs a lot of work. Generally speaking military paint is very mat with a lower gloss than your average car. It could also do with a cubemap to really sell the reflections that you can see. The glass would be better because of this.… -
Comcast increases speed..holy crap!!
These people continue to blow me away. When I originally subscribed I had a down speed of about 1,700 kbps and up @ 128. I got another increase a year ago of 256 up. Now they "give" me a new down towards 4 mbps and I measured the up at 370 kbps. I luv these people. Mind you I only pay $59 + tax a mo. including my tee vee… -
Vertex Optimization techniques
with my current project i'm limited to 256 tri/vert/texture size and while the tri count isnt too difficult, keeping the verts low is throwing me off. i've been reading through the wiki about keeping UV islands to a minimum and reducing the ammount of smoothing groups, but that doesnt seem to be shaving much off...... The… -
Lightmap Seams!
Right now I have the lightmap res at 256 and in my lightmap unwrap I have no overlapping uv's. Where I'm having the problem there is no break in the unwrap. Any suggestions? This has been driving me crazy. Edit:I should note it only looks like that if view from a angle, straight on it looks fine. Edit2: I put the same… -

Re: Join the Collaborators[List of people interested]
Interested! I'm trying to get back into the habit of drawing regularly, might as well have an output like this collab since I can't really keep at purpose-less sketching for too long. Here's a couple of semi-steampunky pieces I've done- http://chrisdejoya.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/shadowengines.jpg?w=950&h=1342… -
Re: Computer upgrade suggestions
Here's a card that looks somewhat comparable to the 9800, and maybe a little faster. Looks like it's about $80 after rebate. Only thing that I can see that's any different is the memory interface is 128bit instead of 256. Think that will make a huge difference? I'm pretty sure my mobo is pcie 1. Not sure how that will come…
