Re: AMD Thread Ripper & Marvelous designer?
I've also been thinking about between AMD's Threadripper CPUs and Intel's CPUs. But Intel's next 9th generation i9-9900K 8c/16t and AMD's new Threadripper model 2920x is coming soon, so I'd wait for their benchmarks first... if you can be just a tad more flexible with your 400€ budget (I'm just assuming from the price… -
Re: Maya -- Tip for speeding up a sluggish quad draw tool
@BIGTIMEMASTER What's your processor? I've done a number of meshes around 40k-100k verts with no problem. The biggest I've worked with in QD was a little over 4 million verts and I found it surprisingly responsive. Add/Remove a loop would only take ~5 seconds or less, which was reasonable. i7-4790k here, I think I was on a… -
Re: Weapon Tri Count?
Yes it does. but switching between modes would most likely switch between 2 different meshes. for firstperson view = 4k to 10k tris(this really depends on the gun) for thirdperson view = 400 to 2k tris since in first person shooters, the gun is always on the screen, and taking up 20-30% of the screen, these guns can be… -
Re: External HDD recommedations
I haven't used those, but I have two external LaCie Quadras connected via an eSATA card, and they work great. eSATA is very fast. http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11156 To give you an idea of the difference, here's from their specs page... eSATA: up to 3Gbits/s (300MB/s) FireWire 800: up to 800Mbits/s… -
Re: Iron Harvest/World of 1920+ inspired Mech
Made a quick moodboard based on warhammer 40k mechs, titans killa kans e.c.t mainly for joint and feet designs. I also found a design i really liked of the foot area so I used it as inspiration for my own mech. Made improvements on the arm armour, knee and ankle/foot. Feel like the block out is close to being finished now,… -
Re: Congrats to Paul "Autodestruct" Richards
Congrats Mr Richards. The level of talent you have on that team now is quite honestly mind-blowing. I'm not exaggerating when I say in my opinion you literally have the best artists in the world on that team. Mildly disappointed for Vigil now Josh Singh and Paul Richards are gone, hopefully they injected enough of their… -
Re: GI-ing with point lights
Doing this in a forward rendering based engine is very suboptimal. It is never going to work in anything but simple environments. I don't know how many lights you got in the above pic, but lets say you got 20 lights a wall x 3 walls = 60 lights and 6 meshes would come down to what, 400 to 500 drawcalls? And that is just… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
You have nailed it on the head! I recently spoke with my instructor at IA and he said that he once calculated that there is probably only around 300-400 top level animators in the world. He works at DW so he obviously considers feature animation as the only pinnacle of the animation industry, which is open for a debate of… -
Re: Sthlm Central Station WIP
haha, I love it, as a stockholmer and as a post apocalypse geek. but those trees you made are about 300-400 years old =P plus there is a subway system down there to, so those trees did not just grow from under ground, but also through a whole system of tunnels, tracks and floors. that is quite impressive as Ghostman… -
Re: Geat Warrior
Posting some texture wips, lemme know what you think. Found this site about killzones nextgen specs: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/tech-specs-of-killzone-sf-and-crysis-3-character-m-29419004/ Still got the head and hands to convert into lowpoly but my full character will be about 40k triangles. Feel…
