Re: Help needed with Perceived Pixel Density shader
I'm not sure I get what you're going for, it reminds me of when people use custom mipmap levels to determine the best texture size to use on meshes. If the mesh always uses the same mip level then you can safely reduce its texture to that size (optimising GPU memory and filesize): Edit: your 3D scene doesn't know about… -
Re: No Man's Sky
I hope they don't wind up awkwardly duct-taping linear goal-oriented game mechanics onto it as happened with Spore. It does look like it could maybe use a few more general mechanics to keep things amusing for a bit longer. I think expanding on the exploration and cataloguing elements would help. Something like the rewards… -
Re: STALKER 2 officially canceled
I don't think that it will work as a MMO, because MMO tend to be kinda static. What I really loved about STALKER was that one game I was in the first camp and went out and saw some soldiers. I decided I wanted their stuff, they disagreed and in the end I ran like mad away. Later, when I came back to the camp, the soldiers… -
Re: Wolfenstein: The Art Dump
xChris: Hey no prob, ask away! :D There wasn't a hard polycount number set, I had to adapt depending on what type of model. For example the London Monitor is pretty much by himself in an arena so I could give about 35k polys. Things that would only be in cutscenes could be pretty high. Weapons have to work in pretty much… -
Re: Sketchbook : Generalvivi
Yeah, out of all the engines I have used in the past. I enjoy making dev blocks with those orange textures more then anything. They always give off a nice mood regardless of what your doing and if you have a nice blue in the scene it really contrasts the orange :D ! (sucks sometimes tho because you don't want to leave dev… -
Re: What made you want to work on games?
I always had a vivid imagination - I think what got me into video games was the idea that I could explore and create entire worlds. Being an old fart, the first glimpse on that were text adventures, where you could enter simple commands like "GO NORTH". But where else could you go? What could you experience? What dangerous… -
Re: Oroboros and company - Dota 2 Madness
From npc scripts: "ItemSlots" { "0" { "SlotIndex" "0" "SlotName" "head" "SlotText" "#LoadoutSlot_Head" "TextureWidth" "256" "TextureHeight" "256" "MaxPolygonsLOD0" "1000" "MaxPolygonsLOD1" "550" } "1" { "SlotIndex" "1" "SlotName" "back" "SlotText" "#LoadoutSlot_Back" "TextureWidth" "256" "TextureHeight" "256"… -
Re: Space lady
Ok @_gir and @ysalex, scrapped the suit, went back to before I started working on that (kept a save from then thank God). So I re sized the torso some, to make the upper body slightly larger, made the hands slightly larger (Thanks nyx, but I think I still need to make the arms shorter, maybe even more so now >.<), and… -
Re: Monitor recommendation
Well, Dell uses panels from LG, Samsung, etc, like most every company who makes computer monitors. The point is that computer monitors radiate heat, and an Asus or Nec monitor may be using the exact same panel as the one you will find in a Dell. So it doesn't make sense to avoid Dell specifically. Which model Dell do you… -
Re: New Ultima game on Kickstarter
Actually it was considered to be one of the worst, because it was too ambitious and a lot of content got cut to make a pre-set release date. Ultima IX suffered a similar fate. The one most people and fans consider to be the best is Ultima VII. That's where NPCs had daily schedules, opening their shop and baking bread and…
