Re: Decent Gaming / 3D laptop with a long battery life
I'm using a Dell XPS 15 9560, the battery life is pretty good although if you're using any kind of intense 3D app, including the usual software, you're not going to get much battery life on any laptop. You don't want a gaming laptop if you're doing 3D on the go, look for what's considered Power Laptops/Power Book style… -
Re: Creating textures from scratch vs. using free textures from websites?
Well genrally i belive that most models that look relatively realistic is in someway photosourced. But its not that strange that you cant recognize a texture on a model from any website. Usually when photosourcing you use elements of a photo or texture that you like. Like if you want dirtstains or rust from one part of a… -
Re: Texture compression
I have a question on my psd file. Down at the bottom it says Doc: 6.00m/82.9m. Why is there to file sizes there? Usually my work flow is creating a psd file then doing as save as PNG , then drag the png into unity. Is this a proper way? Also what do you guys use for unity? and for making the texture file size down, you… -

Re: How do I create multiple textures for 1 model? (pics)
All you have to do is unwrap your character as normal, and if you have ids for each group like Eric suggested it makes selecting easier. What I usually do is unwrap like it where one, look for what mirrored, etc, and unwrap everything as quickly and easy as possible. Then I decide where my chuncks are going to go. I do… -
Re: Wireless Mouse good enough for gaming
The combos usually include the same mouse you can buy, and add the keyboard. My wife has the MS combo, and I don't like the keyboard. It has a large delay sometimes, and it can't keep up with my typing. She really likes it though. As for the batteries, like I said, the mx700, and the mx1000 that MILES mentioned, have built… -
Re: Monomesh Question(noobish)
Usually if a game engine wants everything to be a solid mesh, it's because of performance reasons (mainly shadow casting or collision detection). The model you show in image B. is a really nasty mesh - it looks solid but it isn't. This could be bad in an engine. Usually what I'd do is either make the protruding part… -
Re: Character Design & Scene WIP
Once again Jmiles have emerged from the ground with a mouse as his weapon and lowpoly as his strength..Looking forward to this thread also!! *as usual* I dont know why but something about your work clicks me *in terms of learning* which usually doesnt happen in other threads in pimp and preview. Oh ya, you work with edit… -
Re: normal maps and smoothing groups
Hmm, yeah, actually I know what you mean. Usually you can avoid it either by adding a little extra geometry to the lowpoly to even out the smoothing, or changing the smooth groups to have hard edges where there's a 90-degree or greater change in direction on the mesh, then re-render the normals. That usually looks pretty… -
Re: Final Fantasy VII confirmed?
Eh? I was talking about HD signals, not digital upscaling. By 2009 everything needs to be digital instead of analog. I was saying it should be one step further, and require 100% HD signals only. Their is already legislation being discussed about mandatory HD after 2009, and to ease your mind it has stiff requirements.…
