wee bump. Any brits that were thinking of importing a cheaper (but still too bloody much) 12"er from the states. The power brick is multi voltage (100-240) so all you would need to do is replace the american 3 pin power cable with a standard uk PC/kettle lead. Mine arrived today. Sailed through customs without a problem…
well I decided to keep this model at a 256 texture, and I decied to make his accessory's on a seporate map that will probably be at a 128(debating that still) I just finished modeling the chunks last night and uv unwrapping it, The reason for the tie and the coat having geo is because I would like it to have some depth to…
On the 1st wireframe, you can get rid of the loops on the left and right, and use face weighted normal/edit the vertex normal to achieve the look you are going for. With tileables, there isn't really any other option to do what you are looking to do without adding geometry. I use maya, and a tool called migNormals tools to…

I've used ati cards for a long time (since the rage 128 i believe) and never ever had a problem with them, it may depend on the board manufacturer. I have been getting the sapphire boards for my ATI cards and they have been great. I feel kind of lucky because I've owned many many cards both nVidia and ATI and I've never…
it does seem like a high rez texture for something that would appear very small in-game. Really you should be aiming to match the texture to the largest you will see the object. So if the object is only ever going to occupy 128 pixels high on screen, you texture can be around this size. If it's going to be a handheld…

These people continue to blow me away. When I originally subscribed I had a down speed of about 1,700 kbps and up @ 128. I got another increase a year ago of 256 up. Now they "give" me a new down towards 4 mbps and I measured the up at 370 kbps. I luv these people. Mind you I only pay $59 + tax a mo. including my tee vee…
