Re: What was the modeling/texturing workflow and tools used during the Playstation era?
I still work on PSX titles, my engine directly targets that system. It's an interesting console, with its own set of weird stuff to work around limitations of all sorts. You can still use most modern software to produce faithful PSX assets, assuming somebody can also provide converters for the task (kind of trivial, there… -
Re: Magical disappearing object between Arnold renderview and maya renderview
Are you doing anything special with Render Setup for layers or AOVs that would dis-include this model from the render? Does the material maybe pull transparency from the texture? I've come across similar effects when it comes to objects that have multiple per-face material assignments. I have a thread about that, but… -
Re: New Image Editor with Native Normal Map Support
I don't have much experience with NDO, so I can't compare it to PixaFlux. I've seen some NDO videos, and I know that NDO is a Photoshop plug-in that uses smart objects to create normal maps. PixaFlux is an image editor that uses a node graph. In PixaFlux, a single project can process images of different color modes and… -
Re: Maya - Edge loops and some other quesitons
Thanks Bardler. To Sphere option: I was thinking that I'd have to do that, shame really. I'll leave it up as -ALMOST- in case anyone else comes a long and has a way. Deleting verts: I suppose it will come in handy it some aspects. In blender if I were to delete the middle vertex of a plane subdived once, it's delete it and… -
Re: Leauge Of Legends.
Riot placed in several game modes including Practice, Non-Ranked, and then Ranked matches that allow random group leaders to eliminate limited number of characters, the non ranked mode is randomized only if you enter the fry by yourself. It really is a win-lose situation depending who you're matched up with. This is the… -
Re: Conroe .vs. FX-62 (anandtech)
It's just like when AMD released their 64 bit line. It was a LOT cheaper and much faster. Now its Intel's time to shine for a while, and then AMD will most likely come out with something to stomp Intel in 2-3 years. I'll probably stick with my current rig for a while longer (AMD 3000+ stock 1.8ghz OCd to 2.7ghz on stock… -
Re: [discussion] The L4D2 Boycott
Didn't see too much of an improvement when they first showed it, but after watching some videos this past week or so, I'm hooked. Picking it up with the 4-pack deal, only $34 that way. Achievements have been posted, showing some of the new content. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/left-4-dead-2/achievements/ New… -
Re: urban environment WIP
Looking sweet! Can't wait to see the final product. What's the lighting setup look like sofar? I imagine a couple directional and probably a sky light so the shadows aren't black? Also, great explanations there. Thanks for sharing that! It's nice to hear some exact technical explanations as sometimes things can get lost in… -
Re: Alan Wake
So its DLC day. And if you, like everyone else, typed in your retail code way back on release day (like it asked you too) then you will be waiting for the confirmation email so you can download it. Only Mircoshaft have not sent the codes, and wont be sending them until the 2nd of next month :< That is my prize for… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
vassago, that's a very narrow-minded and selfish additude. No one depeartmenst serves another as if they were the thers' bitch. You're part of a team when you work on a game. Unless you want to work with a bitter code staff that isn't interested in making robust tools for their selfish art staff. Working here for the last…
