@capone - Looking at the texture it looks like you could just use multiple instances of lines / sloped down points and then make that edgy direction with the directional warp node - try inputting something very contrasty into the line like a cube. In work : lines => directional warp + shapes (blur hq) hope that speeds up…
Well brink is an exception in that list. But there does seem a strong bias towards labeling anything cartoony and colourful, specifically something done in a anime style, as innovative. I don't find these styles innovative. They're just a style that doesn't get much exposure because it doesn't suit the mood of most games.…
Adam, the materials on the ground are indeed decals. These are water patterns, blood stains, and footprints with both water/blood in them. They all use the same shader that the tank is using. The shader is highly customizable, and it uses switches to turn functions on and off. This way the shader can be around 200…
Im posting this way too late but this is what I do if I am opening and using huge Photoshop files / photoshop is going slow. * I go to Edit - Prefences - Memory & Image Cache: Change the Memory Usage up to 60-70% but take into note that this will make less ram for other programs. Then close / restart Photoshop 4 this to…
You weren't kidding? Oh, right. Yeah, that's a bit of a different situation then. Yeah. Your argument? What argument? You don't 'HAVE' an argument. Your hatred for the French? Your hatred for 60 million people that you have never met because of some vague ill informed nebulous notions that you have is not, I'm afraid any…
[URL="[url=http://postimage.org/image/l8u4vr6a9/][img]http://s8.postimage.org/l8u4vr6a9/Italian_Polycount.jpg[/img][/url]"][/url] Well....It's been a fair while since I was on this thread and I have just returned to this project :) Since the last update I have done a fair amount so would like to hit it off with dropping…
Yeah and I'm not trying to say that i wouldn't be ok with working at a company in just one role, that's how the business works (hell, used to do 60 hours weeks geo testing on QA). But to be discriminated against because you're a well rounded artist just sounds like bad company policy. You'd think a game company would want…
Teens probably is a bit of an understatement for some of Marvels books. Im not talking FFN, Im talking adult situations. This is very bad IMO... I can see it becoming like DC in the 50s and 60s. Remember the Batman show? Modern Spiderman version? At least Warner buy of DC in 69 helped DC breakout of that. But see, Warner…
nice work, i see no one even notice the lack of shadows. Is it using a lighting bake to get the faked shadows? I think it would look great with an atmosphere shader on it to tint the whole scene blueish. Something about churches makes me think they should always be cold and dead feeling. Is it me or is HDR lighting in…
Assuming you buy the parts individualy and build the desktop you can easily get a top of the line machine for less then 1500. Here's a rough breakdown based on newegg prices with top of the line components: OS = 100 (Vista Home OEM 64it) cpu = 200 (Core2 Quad 2.4ghz) ram = 170 (8gb ddr2) gpu = 170 (Geforce 8800GT) mouse =…
