Chase -> Only the borders need to be straight on the grid and of course, sometimes it's not needed. My arch block have its sides UVs on the grid but not the arch itself. That being said, I usually don't hesitate to stretch to square in lightmaps. My dome roof for instance is perfectly square-ish, mush easier to place that…
Justin: Popular Mechanics got it's FACTS from government sources...many of them admitting that previous government claims were wrong. Here are two of the more recent claims they use as FACT: [ QUOTE ] What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass. "If you expected the…
First of all, you're comparing Superman to Megatron? My 77-year old grandmother would recognize Superman; she sure as hell doesn't know what a Megatron is. The character is just not remotely as iconic, and sacred only to hardcore fans who were kids in the 1980s. You don't screw with Superman because he's American myth,…
Hello everyone, As a team of students in video game school in France, we finally made up a trailer of our game project. We are working on this game for roughly twelve months (4 months of writing a game concept, making concepts arts and choosing the artistic direction; and 8 months of development).

I made a promise to myself that I would finish this map and so I've been working on it about 2hrs a day when I can, sometimes going weeks without working on it. We wrapped up crunch at work so I'll be able to hit the 2hr commitment a little more often. So far I've made 50 props and created 77 texture maps. The blue base is…
Hey PC :) I'm starting on my humble journey of creating a TIE Fighter. When looking at my portfolio, aside from the fact that it lacks content and other problematic things, I have decided to work on a weak area of mine; hard-surface. I think that if I were to be honest with myself, whenever I have created a hard-surface…
I was in the same situation as you, and just finished building my computer yesterday. All went fine. Here is some stuff I learned doing my research: i7's really don't really need to be overclocked, so if you go for the 3770, get the non-K version. Overclocking CAN lead to shorter cpu life if you're not careful with…
