I'm not familiar with either, but to ask the stupid question first: Do you have a light in the scene, and is it sufficiently bright? Mos of what these do is act a bit like a magnet for light samples to reduce noise without having to get crazy with global settings. I couldn't find appropriate docs for ProRender, but…

theres alot of clever stuff going in this demo. the "shineness" thing looks to be more than pure spec, maybe nice spherical harmonics, which are not really that expensive to do in a constrained env. like this. what really interested me was the micro-detail stuff and how that could be used in large env's. esp how much you…
i got the propper numbers. 4 million consoles within first year globally (thats if they sell =Z) current games in production for Ps3 will need to sell 6-7 million units to make profit that means two years (at a pie in the sky guess) for the best selling games to make profit. i hope im wrong but wont that kill 3rd party…
KDR, the law was passed in Washington state...I talked with some game store employees and they were IDing anyone getting rated M game, at the time I was 21 and they IDed me for Far Cry. You didn't really address answer my question, did Washington state passing this law negatively affect the game industry or community by…
Interesting to hear! I do wish I'd read that comment, so I didn't further spread the idea that they're markedly different. Thanks for replying here, and sorry for getting back to you so late. Are you still involved in UX design these days? For anyone interested in the topic of the thread, someone has released an amazing…
Hey guys I'm trying to bake out a global illumination/AO map (in Max9) for an interior environment and am not having much luck. Usually for AO maps I just go straight for the Skylight and lighttracer, but skylight doesn't get into interiors...So I tried the mental ray AO material and tried rendering a map out using that…
Hi, I was wondering if someone knows if there is such thing as an MR arch & design AO global toggler for all the "AD" materials on the scene. This will be very usefull instead of manually setting every shader or desactivating each shader AO. I want to make some tests on whether it is more fast/precise to use this ao…
I'm in Australia. It's 6pm here, 15th of Feb. Seems like it is timezone dependent. I suppose it makes sense that everyone would be overloading the server with purchases if it was a global timelimit. I guess in this regard, we benefit least from the extension. Glad I have my 2 Pro copies already lined up.
We used Unity for the Global Game Jam this year and it got us over the line with pretty inexperienced coders. I'd probably go 2d for the next one given that its quicker and easier to hammer things out and that's pretty much your primary concern when you've got a mere 48 hours to play with.
