Re: small warning
I generally re-rip anything I get from iTunes so I can just play it in Winamp. Speaking of memory hogs I recently started switching over to Visual Studio 2005 from 2003 and the thing takes up close to 2.5x times the memory that 2003 uses, ugh. -
Re: I bought Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas today...
I'm saying that it might have been a 9.4 +0.5 bribe or something. Realistically I believe neither that GTASA got 9.9 without any external help nor that the 98% score in the "world exclusive" first Half-Life 2 review was objective. Even almost perfect games don't score that high. -
Re: seeking a badass maya workflow
Honestly, the more you use it, the less it will crash. I guess probably because you learn what triggers crashes and what doesn't, and you learn to constantly delete history. I've been using Maya since 2005, probably, and by now, it crashes maybe once every couple of weeks, and usually when I'm using some custom tool. -
Re: Space Marine WIP
It's a little hard to tell, but his legs look like they're too far apart, imagine him without armour and you'll get what I'm talking about. I have no experience with rigging though, I'm sure another one of these handsome devils will be happy to help you! P.S. Marcus from Gears of War was 15 000 polys! -
Re: Mateba 2008M
Looking good! It's not quite a fictional firearm. Matebas were produced from late 90s up to 2005. You'd want to lower the upper flares of the grips to make room for the recoil mechanism. The entire upper frame, barrel and cylinder recoils about 12mm to cock the hammer after each shot. [ame]… -
Re: Map size doubles after new light build
What happens when you delete all lights from your level. Place a single pointlight in the middle of the level with a large 10 000 or so radius, and rebuild. What is the size then? Try to have a Dir Light also, not a dom dir light. Dir lights have no dynamic shadow and lighting, though that should normally not impact the… -
Re: Rawk - Post any rocks you make here!
Steve0 and I just got back from a hike and managed to get some cool photos of the Big Basin Redwood State Park area. http://www.flickr.com/photos/58705466@N05/sets/72157636674063983/ Also if you haven't seen his stuff, he has some sweet foliage you guys will get a kick out of over here. -
Re: Zbrush and seamless geometry
I think I got it now. But one more problem: stretching - how do I avoid that? The UVs are not stretched themselves, but the displacement map shows quite a bit of that in the edges. bake settings: Adaptive = on DPSubPix = 2 Mid = 0,5 EDIT: Tried "smooth UV" option - no stretching, but instead the map doesn't extend all the… -
Re: X Normal is making a mess
If you have multiple meshes intersecting, then yes i'd suggest importing separate pieces and baking them individually and combining the maps afterwards. You'll usually get a much cleaner bake that way, but it does take a little longer. Or you can explode the mesh. Personally, I make several pieces and center them out to… -
