Re: Best Texel Density for AAA MMO?
Personally I don't think this is something that needs to be decided on ahead of time. In short, visual quality should be balanced with performance in engine, and ideal resolution can be adjusted as the game grows. Author textures at as high a resolution as possible without creating undue burden (file size too big, too much… -
Re: Programming Question
Sure. There are games made as learning projects. There are games where the requirements are very different from what any existing engine supports (e.g. Minecraft). And there are games where the engine and the game are developed in tandem, though there's normally the expectation that future projects will reuse the same… -
Experienced 3D Character Artist & Asset Builder – Stylized & Real-Time Ready
Hey everyone 👋 I'm Gal, a 3D character artist and asset builder with experience in stylized modeling, concept sketching, and building optimized game-ready assets for real-time engines like Unity & Unreal. 💡 While I work independently, I also lead small-scale teams remotely when needed – so I can either jump in as a… -
Re: Getting started in VFX
Hey KKVALENTIN, No real idea of how to break in into the industry as a vfx artist, I started of as a 3D artist. My general advice is to start with pick an engine and learning the basics of several fields. I'm biased but I would (as you seem to have done) start with the Unreal Engine. Download the Unreal Tournament version… -
Re: Generation gap... what ARE they teaching our yougster gamers these days?
Mech 2 v1.0 / 1.1 ran native in DOS in (if I recall correctly) Protected memory mode, something pretty novel at the time. It's what allowed them to squeeze unaccelerated 3D graphics out of late 486s and the first Pentiums. It was later released in a DOS / Win95 dual native release, although the Win95 implementation was… -
Re: Pros and cons for different ways to organize game character and associated skeletal mesh props
@pior ah ok i understand you better. i have tried both approaches and it seemed like including the bow with the character was simpler overall. Because then I just author the animations in one swoop, and in engine all i have to do is call a specific montage. For instance, an animation for draw the bow, and animation to fire… -
Re: Translucensy is deforming other part of the mesh that isn't translucent glass material
So before applying the material in to the mesh in engine it looks good? Interesting. Perhaps you could share the assets, so the situation can be reproduced. -
MSU start up project.. 56K warning...
Small Update: There are several prospects that have decided to try out for the project, but the game really needs a coder. Also the game has been cut to the core of game play to make the project easier, fill the "meat and potatoes" of the average gamers needs first and ensure quality content. IE The game is now going to be… -
Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
In the area of Engine development yes but Epic has only 120 people (Wiki) and can maybe afford to live from the engine alone. A bad Gears of War or Unreal Tournament can be survived. Compared to Crytek Epic is the small niche but with greater success in engine licencing. -
Re: A great non custom computer desktop?
Is this for working in game engines or working mostly non-realtime work? If it's for working with game engines, you can get a prebuilt gaming PC cheaper and with parts closer to what you need with sites like ibuypower.com A quadro or workstation GPU is not going to help with game engines.
