Baking Complex Objects Without Exploding
I ran into a particularly nasty case of an issue that I'm sure all of us face frequently - baking normal / AO from one complex model onto another. Now in my case, both the high and lo poly models are comprised of 23 objects. I want to bake each separately. I cannot explode the object, because the high polys have to be… -
Re: Opinions on Freemium?
If you go freemium there is one thing to always keep on mind; selling content in packages (see DDO) is good as long as you give cheaper alternative or free choices even to the user (again, see DDO on how they implemented this). Allowing the user to buy powers, which will affect the 'game' world, but the user base towards… -

May I present to you....The General!

This is a very agressive project, which will be including full interior, motor, suspension and undercarriage. Essentially, what started… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
As I am a bad person, and since you guys seem to have come dangerously close to an agreement, I thought I should stir the pot and add some confusion ;) As far as the values - either measured, or computed and displayed - are concerned, this is true. Unfortunately, this is not what we experience, because your brain tries to… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Sorry I am late to the party but I wanted to jump in and just give my personal opinion of the Nex. I got one a couple months ago and absolutely love it. It is small enough to take around without a camera bag, it may be getting bigger with kit lenses on it but its still nowhere near as big or bulky as a full size DSLR. And… -
Re: Having a severe case of shadow acne - dynamic lights only
Well the use of the Precomputed Shadows option is quite significant for me. This is with the default setting: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/707/precomputed.jpg/ And this is with Precomputed Shadows deactivated: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/nonprecomputed.jpg/ Please note that I also have Precomputed… -
