Re: isn't enough for even half my model?
It depends how much texture memory you have available among other things. A single 1024 DXT1 is about 1mb of texture memory. So assuming you have 3 per complete texture then you could be looking at about 30 per 90mb. A ps3 has 256mb of video ram so assuming you only get a third of that for textures then 30 or so is a… -
Re: Death of THQ?
thats fine but again you have to be looking for them and have a somewhat prior knowledge and also be a regular visitor to particular gaming sites. you have to want to click on it, Im talking about sitting at home watching mythbusters or whatever and all of a sudden an advert comes up and you go 'oooooooo that looks good'.… -
Re: Photogrammetry Textures
New question: I have been playing with photogrammetry but I got awful results xD. When you are taking pictures, how do you go with the exposure change?

If anything changes in the lens, then the absolute center of… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing

Re: Photography tutorial for textures?
Because I have the day off/too much time on my hands, additional thoughts: RAW v JPEG Really, the question here isn't even raw vs jpeg, its processed vs unprocessed images.

Re: Artifacts on baked normal maps
Yep, did it with them, but as I said in my latest comment I got those random polygons welded to main pieces with wrong sides. I dunno how it happened.

Re: OnLive Beta...
I'm in Kirkland WA on Comcast Cable, the fastest they offer. Its a good connection, but you can get better. DSL at work sucked, I had massive lag problems with it. I'm not sure of the exact speed in numbers.
