Re: E3-Nintendo
Seriously? Crushed? So for this you need an iPad (between $500 - $700) and an AppleTV ($100). So that's $600 bare minimum, for a video game solution that doesn't include any buttons, and doesn't have any dedicated hardware for the game's themselves. Not to mention that any game that you want to play multiplayer will cost… -
Re: Transfer skin weights from a simple to a complex model
Skinwrap doesn't care what is on the source mesh. All it is doing is is wrapping by closest point, and gives you control over the falloff. You could skin your mesh, then add a tesselate modifier to it (using face and setting tension to 0.0). You will still have some warping, but if you increase the tesselation, the… -
Re: Mass effect artistic style
its there because they can, thats how I see it in most games. It's the immature play with technology - but a couple of years it was even worse in many games like this: http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2007/007/928234_20070108_screen001.jpg Just like the cold warm contrast (those orange blue colored grading style) and… -
Re: Creating a 1d texture
have to be one pixel? no, but why bother with more if your sampler only uses one dimension of the texture? The rest would just be wasted space and memory and it's a one dimensional texture because when it is indexed by a shader it only has one component, the other is always zero, because (remember kids) counting digits… -
Re: London p'counters
So what's the plan? We leave in oooooh, 10 hours. Can we just plan on meeting at the hotel we're at? 7pm? 8pm? 6pm? Can someone sort this out and leave us a message at the hotel? We're checking in by noon on the 15th, under Taylor - James or Leah, I forget. Here's the number I got off the hotel site - (0)870 4008703.… -
Re: dual monitor setups
it's funny, but even with my dual monitor setup i still use pretty much everything on my first monitor, and just use the second one for chat windows / irc.. such great use for a $700 lcd. though seeing as i just acquired a cheap lil laptop for free (466mhz baby, OH YEAH!), i'll probably move some of my chat stuff to that,… -
Re: [Code] Custom Cavity Pass
The reason ur getting those annoying black lines is because of the way the program inherently works. What it does is it compares each pixel to its 8 other neighboring pixels. So, when ur on the very edge of a surface (like a sphere), it stands to reason that there will be an equal or larger number of pixels outside of the… -
Re: MSc Dissertation - Game And Survey
Thought I'd post some more on the feedback I've had on this- a user said "game ran at 60fps with cpu at 60% usage and the GPU at 50% usage at the highest res. QX9650 & GTX 570 that is with everything open including PS, 3DS max and UDK editor." so that's pretty promising to me and I think I can be safe in the knowledge that… -
Re: Baking normals in Modo: what could be the cause of those artifacts?
@igi Thanks for the quick response! I assume that you're referring to UV channels with "UV map name". As far as I'm aware, it's impossible to remove UV data from a mesh, the fields for those coords are always in place - at least in the FBX format I'm using to import the geometry to Modo. Would simply offsetting or… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
Its not my theory, I'am not the guy at Disney who develop the metallic workflow. You see, I'am not trying to prove a point. Its just how the Shader works. Its theoretical math. So yeah, pure materials have 0.0 dieletrics an 1.0 for non dieletrics. And is just how it works. IF someone wants to learn metallic workflow. He…
