Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
Some people like different things? I'd say the Cryengine is very powerful and easy to work with if you take the time to actually get used to it. I used to use Unreal all the time before I got a job here (you can look at my portfolio) and when I actually started working with the Cryengine it is extremely powerful and easy… -
Re: Glass Bottles
If I were you I would model the outside of the glass bottle and then create a transparent material. I would then plug a fresnel node the dirstortion input for your material. Multipy the fresnel if the effect isn't powerful enough. Oh, and for glass you want a tight highlight, so be sure to plug a value of 1 into specular… -
Re: Polycount Community Chest Event
An update, sorry guys, South Africa has this new thing called Load-Shedding (government owned power station regulates who's home/business power is on/off on certain days and times to prevent a national blackout.) To prevent people getting pissed off with me when collaborating when I'm in the dark, I'll rather do this solo.… -
Re: PC Build
The motherboard will come with all the sata cables you need for hooking up your SSD and DVD burner. The power supply will come with the power cables obviously, the one you selected is modular so you can plug in the cables you need and not have extra cables taking up room in the case. I mentioned the HDMI to DVI cable in… -
Re: Graphics card upgrade query
are you sure you can upgrade at all, a geforce7 could be AGP still, all graphics card these days are PCI-Express, meaning you need to get a new motherboard + processor... another thing is power consumption, typically you will need extra power for graphics. it looks like you should save a bit more money, to afford more… -

Re: nDo2 BETA
Wow, thanks man, that's just awesome. Also, I didn't wanna come off as if I was doubting the power of the tool and was demanding proof, I just wanted to see what kind of input was required to get these mind blowing results to try to match my source photos as much as possible regarding lighting, color and contrast. Again,… -
Re: What made you feel crap today?
I have no idea, the damage happened around the power cable, so maybe power overload? Its just weird because it didn't happen anywhere else, the rest of the computer is fine (except for the smell and where the fire touched). And it worked fine for 6 months, but did notice that I had slowdowns often lately whenever it was… -
Re: new military vehicles & weapons from around the world
When was the last time in history this happened? I don't know of a major industrial power having their vehicles outmatched since world war two, and even then it wasn't affordable. Just another army of approximately the same things hitting them head on. There will be an affordable way to harry and hinder them, sure, but a…
