Yeah, the strong underlighting creates a really cool effect. I was inspired by The Abyss, which has a similar lighting on the Deep Core platform, but my version ended up pretty subtle to draw more attention to the workbench, but I now realize I may have over corrected. I have a caustic effect on the moonpool light that I…
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the…
My solution is: "Diversify" (if you can). Work is not just "work", tasks can be difficult, daunting, boring, challenging and so on. I'm not in the mood or simply physical form to do effectively any on them at any time. After 10-12 hours of coding I can hardly work on a new piece of code. If I try I find myself loosing more…
Hey good sir. I use dreamhost and set up a huge discount for polycounters. A few guys have already signed up. Great bandwidth, no ads on site and great support. Here is the info... I setup a special discount / promo code at Dreamhost just for polycounters. It will save you over 82 bucks off the L1 (yearly) hosting plan.…
Best way to showcase the large images EVER!!! I'm in love. I think the only way to make it better would be to have clicking anywhere kill the large image, instead of needing to click "close" or off the image. What is that? I'd ask if you coded it, but I know you can't code your way out from under Sam's cardboard box hobo…
Kevin Rose's blog update: http://blog.digg.com/?p=74 [ QUOTE ] Today was an insane day. And as the founder of Digg, I just wanted to post my thoughts In building and shaping the site Ive always tried to stay as hands on as possible. Weve always given site moderation (digging/burying) power to the community. Occasionally…
Are you actually overclocking the card? Tried the latest bios? The performance situation is definitely *very* weird. What I've gleaned from a lot of forum lurking is that at some point no matter how uber your 3D card is, performance isn't really improved from a lower card. There are people with dual 7800's having dips in…
This will really put a damper on your day but I think you need to know it as it will help you realized what is keeping you from breaking the barrier. Think of fat cells like an off site storage unit place. Fat comes and goes but the storage cells stay. The storage cells can expand to hold more fat but once they are full…
Cool! Thank you! I bugged my teacher about it and he was kind enough to help me with resource hunting and came back with these links! :lol: This one is text based with some image help and is probably most useful to someone who is familiar with Unreal and Texture nodes:…
And the difference between the DS and 3DS even vastly more, consider the fact that the 3ds is able to emulate the DS games for backwardscompatibility. it does, but consider how many people here will be turning off filtering, and posting incredible things in the low poly thread, without any anti-aliasing. You'll find the…
