Re: TreeGen, a 3DS Max script that generates cheap realtime trees.
I've just given it a quick try again and sorely miss some controls that are more common in Tree[d] for instance... being able to change the 'roundness' of the tree (how fast the top branches shrink vs lower ones) I also got in some trouble trying to collapse the tree after I'd closed the dialogue box for it (it shouldn't… -
Re: Taking games seriously
This is just gaming being used as a scapegoat in the same way that comic books and violent movies are. This is very different from taking games seriously as a medium of artistic expression.

Re: UE4 goes free
Granted, but for less performance-intensive tasks like gameplay scripting, C++'s verbosity can be a little much, and make it harder for designers to come in and tweak things themselves during early development (I'm really not convinced that visual scripting is a good alternative, there). True. Most of my projects in Unity… -
Re: Are these UVs Good, what makes a UV map good ?

Re: My experiences with DDS NM Compression
I don't know about Maya's 3Dc support... I haven't had the chance to use the format in production, I've just been interested in checking it out. It could be either that your card doesn't support it (unlikely these days) or that Maya's hardware shader doesn't (more likely). DXT5_nm written in your notation would be xRxBG I… -
Re: "Cut-out" effect
Thanks for the replies everyone, these have been very helpful! The engine I'm doing this in is Unity (not my choice, I have to use it). Throttlekitty, I took a look at the Gamasutra link and it looks like that algorithm would be able to convey the effect I'm looking for. Ugh too bad I don't yet know much about writing… -

Converting Line to Points - Help
Hi. Haven't done anything constructive in a while. Been busy on some stuff. Anyway ~ I'm suffering a problem with one of my projects. It's a drawing application that uses OpenGL for rendering. Basically, when drawing, data is recorded from the mouse/tablet. A series of X Y locations enters the drawing buffer. Depending on… -
Mecha Runner - UE4 level scripting study
