Re: AMD Designing Next-Gen Playstation's GPU
While I appreciate that you took time to write the tech breakdown, ps2 had a fair share of 60 fps games - burnout, star ocean 4, virtua fighter 4 and DMC 1-3 for example; same with dreamcast, where sonic adventure was pulling off 60 fps easily, and it was even more common on NGC/xbox (bawww, pc hardware inside) how many PC… -
Re: Why do my models look flat in unreal?
-Try Mul your Gloss instead of adding. Also, try a number like 64, 128 or 256. -Reflection Vector -> Transform (Tangent to World) -> Cubemap -Also, add your Cube to your Diffuse instead of Lerping it, and control it's strength with a Constant, before Mul the entire thing Cube setup bu your mask -You can also put up your… -
Re: A peculiar way of parking your boat
Aw, you guys! All this love makes me dizzy! SirSpangles: No script used for the pipes. They were made to fit the grid, straight sections of 64, 128 and 256 units, bent sections of 90 and 45 degrees. I did some custom parts where the grid failed me (or I failed the grid) but other than it's not very complex. Unfortunatley I… -
Re: [Lightmap Issue] - Huge difference on lightmaps depending on Level. [Solved]
Elias, increasing Static Lighting Level scale will make your building times really higher. I suggest you to merge the pieces together once you finish your level and set this about 0.5 or another value that fits your needs. I am using this technique for our open world game building and It's way better from building… -
Re: TGA Physically Based Lighting CGFX Shader for Maya Viewport
cool initiative! i looked over it quickly (haven't tried it out yet though. sorry!) and i guess substance is f0 (aka specular strength at normal angle aka effective refractive index)? in that case i wonder why you didn't just call it specular or something. and ao seems to only be used as a spec mask (i think), which is… -
Re: Game Engine Opinions
hmm good point Indeed, the Unreal engine when released will indeed be the most realistic engine available, Currently I still rather look @ valves source technology compared to ID's Doom 3 and Still doom 3 didnt have too much freedom to move around but then again ive never seen other games utilize the doom 3 engine, doom 3… -
Re: alpha channels
1. Same texture. In a 32-bit texture there are four channels of pixel info... red, green, blue, and alpha. Most graphics hardware will convert every 24bit texture (red/green/blue, JPG, TGA, etc.) into a 32bit one before rendering it, so you you might as well include alpha anyway since you're paying the cost of that alpha… -
Re: lowpoly characters
I just wanted to share the final look of the bug with you guys, as i'm quite happy with how it turned out: I agree with your comment, Sectaurs, but i wanted them to be horns from the beginning, so i really wanted to stick with that. I hope it works, as they were the hardest part to texture, heh. If i can find some more… -
Re: workaround for "indexed colours" photoshop bug needed...
It does but when you need to save multiple textures each one with a different palette (some will be 8, others 256 or even 32 if it's an alpha map) it's definitely easier to use actions. It's also unnecessary to force the first color of the palette if your texture isn't transparent. Those actions with the (transparent)… -
Re: Another Portfolio Pimp
Cody one of the things that helped me improve was to start making realistic models with pretty low poly counts with small texture sizes. It's pretty hard to make something realistic with nothing. It sounds a bit mundane but if you model things you like it will be loads of fun at times. Pick a car, tank or airplane and…
