Re: Obama signs the NDAA into law
The NDAA bill passed 86 to 14 in the senate and 283-136 in the House. Over the 2/3 majority needed to override presidential veto. Personally I think he should have just veto'd it anyway because given the outrage over the provisions it's possible that enough congressmen reversed their position on it. Even if it hadn't at… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
But that only happens because people who have tried and failed repeatedly kept trying and succeeded. If no one blazed trails how would you get anywhere if you only traveled on well worn roads? If everyone thought like you did, there would be only one answer anyone could ever come up with. It wouldn't be the best answer it… -
Re: [MAYA] NDM PHOENIX - Non-Destructive Modifiers and Tools for Maya
Hello, I bought the NDM Phoenix plugin. It worked great with meshes from scratch like a plane or cube. But I was trying to work on custom modeled meshes, like a ribbon i generated along a curve and it gave me a similar error like devingeest had :/ / Error: file:… -
Re: Problems with scaling and importing correct scale
Wish I found this thread a bit earlier, I could have helped you guys.. You need to do Reset Xform on every mesh/object at the end that you directly scale, and not via the sub-tools like vertex,poly,etc. I would suggest you to do reset xform on every model at the end, when you're done, cuz it prevents possible errors :P And… -
Re: Super Hero Animation Critique
Cool idea, you have a nice base to start from. F1-44 Everything here is pretty static. A good tip I learned is: when doing a motion, use the “largest control” to sell an animation. For example: when doing a laugh you could just animate the head, but to really sell it you want to add his hips and gut to involve the whole… -
Re: Rendering normal map information to lightmaps
A single lightmap is only 1.3 mb, a couple isn't going to be too much of a memory hog. I'm creating fairly enclosed environments so 3 1024s should give me fairly good lightmap resolution. Yeah, specular and normal maps per pixel is expensive on iPhone but I can make it really cheap if I bake the shadow information into the… -
Re: A Really Hard Flash Game
I don't think Cho Ren Sha is that hard really, since the patterns have large holes, but it is hard to see what's going on with that moving background. No, it's mostly that the patterns are damn fast compared to other shmups. And the holes get smaller and smaller as you progress. Try watching the replay video in a fresh… -
Re: Contemporary "art"
In defense of the implied dig at fractal art, I would like to point out that part of the 'art' is getting predictable results out of often random effects. As an example, I have recently been working with a quality glass script in apophysis, with some fairly good results. The main challenge that I have set before myself is… -
Re: VERTEX - Book Released
Andreas we will look into that we are still shooting to keep them free but we might try and setup some type of humble indie bundle type setup. At 13k+ downloads @215mb's it eventually takes a toll on the servers and the bandwidth costs. The reason the pages print the way they are doing it now is I have the bleed turned off… -
Re: Hunt for botched paramilitary raids in your town!
I elect this as the worse Florida story: Richard Brown. After a tip from an informant stating that he was selling drugs from his home, a Miami SWAT team bursts into the home of 73-year-old retired salesman Richard Brown, and immediately begins firing. By the end of the raid, they'd pumped 123 rounds into Brown and his…
