Re: Orbis / PS4
Hi, Blaizer. You can't compare a console architecture to a PC like that. First of all, what exactly would the SSD add to a console? They stream from the game media anyway, and it's all setup so that seek-times are minimized. Only sequential reads matter. A SSD is awesome on a PC, because of the ability to quickly access… -
Re: Are Developers shooting Themselves in the foot? (design wise)
Ehhh I strongly disagree. The mechanics are very simple, they just seem complicated because of how ridiculously badly they're implemented. The entire FFXIII paradigm combat system is essentially a game of rock paper scissors (with 6-8ish choices instead of 3) where your enemy is always throwing the same things. Its… -
Re: WIP - Temple of the Desert
It's ok felipefrango I've got no qualms answering your questions. Walls should almost always be tileable. Unless it is a very, very unique wall and the focal point of the piece. In fact you can reuse a lot of textures and materials and most people will hardly ever notice the difference if you do it cleverly. As far as… -
Re: How does overtime work at your company??
So OT is a crazy subject in this industry, I've heard a lot of stories and i'm sure you will too. There are very few companies (if any) out there who dont suffer from 'crunch'. Since you asked I'll go ahead and lay out what happend to me at my last job. So after about three months of being hired I was told we were going to… -
Re: zBrushe's ACTUALLY Recommended Requirements?
Majority of people doing game dev will have some sort of intel/nvidia setup. I'm on a intel q6600 quad core machine, which is a few years old now but very capable. At the end of the day, Intel/nVidia combo seems to be the most stable, sure you can probably save a little and go the AMD/ATI route, but I wouldn't bother with… -

Tut: Baking AO Maps Using a Normal Map
The following procedure covers creating an Ambient Occlusion or "shadow map" using a normal map and low poly mesh in 3ds max 8. This may be old news for some of you, but it is a technique I learned recently so I thought that I would share. Some may ask "why not just use your high poly mesh and a projection modifier to… -

Sketchbook: Adam Hodgson - back to digital
Howdy there! I suppose I'm an oldie around these parts. Mind my monologing for a moment while I tell you a story; Thanks to Polycount, 10 years ago I got a job at a games studio called VIS Isle of Wight (a mauled version of the now shining Stainless Games). For a chap of 16 it was great, games! I couldn't do more than put… -
