This is looking really strong for a final year project. You can clearly see the amount of thought that’s gone into the environment and presentation – the atmosphere and composition are really starting to come together nicely. Keep pushing the lighting (have you thought about a late evening, golden hour?) the materials.…
So I am working on a gray scene to work on my lighting. I've been primarily working at home, but today I tested it out on my work computer, and now i notice my light maps are LODing and they look like crap. I never noticed this before on my home computer. So i decided to rebake on preview and once i did the LODing went…
Hey, it appears I've found a bullet-proof way to crash my ZBrush in 10 seconds. *hooray* In case you want to see if you can reconstruct this behavior, the steps are: 1. Drop to Canvas 2. Drag out new instance of object in 2.5D mode 3. Move Object 4. Drop again 5. Drag out new instance 6. Crash! (7. If it didn't crash at…
Well one problem could be that you're using an extremely old plug-in (Chuggnuts tools) with a much newer version of max.

IMO unreal blueprint is easiest entry point to game programming that there is i began with unity and c# is supposed to be easy mode, but working with text code is just pulling teeth to me. I hate it. after a few years with blueprint I can work in text code a bit (c++), but 99% of what i do can be done in blueprint so i…
I think there's a CVar to disable Post Effects too, but I'm not sure how far that goes since there isn't really a post-process editor to my knowledge. It may just be the bloom and HDR settings disabled. In the Art and Technology behind Crysis 3, there were a few screenshots of Crysis 3 levels during development in…
I was trying to make a script to activate the Paint Select mode while turning on ignoreBackfacing so that I don't select faces from the other side when painting. To make this compatible with both EditablePoly and EditPoly, my thought process was to make a tryCatch function so that if it failed to the first clause because…
sonic, i dont know much about processors, but from what your saying intels duel and new quad core processors are not any faster at all than the single core ones unless you have programs that are specifically written to use all 4 cores? i really know nothing about them, but if thats the case why upgrade?
