Re: VGAs 2011
Command & Conquer Generals 2... with frostbite 2, and being developed by bioware... Sounds like a beastly combination. Wasn't a huge fan of generals, but generals 2 has got me psyched. Hope it does well. I cant wait. -
Re: Low Poly "Buildings" Practice
You should try Ndo2 (unless you school assignment specify you to bake stuff), very easy to generate normalmaps and generate Ao from it. Combined with normalmaps generated from texture and i bet you're scene will be a killing ^^ -
Re: How would you approach this? 3ds Max
Tried the cloth approach. A bit cumbersome, especially since the panels have to be moved into position at least roughly (used the geosphere method as a template) in order to make sense of things and reverse seams were necessary, but you can't switch back to the flat version interactively. I tried to preserve it with a… -
Zbrush Fibremesh Card Orientation
I'm trying to figure out how to generate a base set of hair cards in zbrush using fiber mesh but i can't figure out how to stop the generator from spawning the cards in this cross pattern. I'l like the cards to spawn facing the general direction of the hair growth i want. Anyone know how to change this? Thanks a lot. :) -
Re: "Game dev attempts to claim revenue from the Youtubers"
its an interesting subject, im not sure if im for or against it, but my gut instinct is that phills right in some ways but in his usual fashion goes about it the wrong way. taking films as a close cousin to games, companies are generally pretty keen on NOT letting key plot or endings being all over youtube at least when… -
Re: Shadowsmaps - What are they?
1) they were originally stored on disk in files like any other map so i guess it was a natural name. it is assumed that most developers know that the term 'buffer' and map are interchangeable. so its not an issue to use those terms interchangeably. the algorithms in RT are generally the same as non-RT. 2) i agree that you… -
Re: 3d action game development
@Fabi_G wow! thank you so much. you ever have that feeling like you know you have forgotten something but aren't sure what it was? That's how I felt about these illustrations. Like they were close to what I wanted but not quite sure how to bring it all together. Your examples make them feel completed rather than abstract… -
Re: High Poly Widget Libraries for AAA games
hard to say.... we tried a library in my company, but maintaining it was a pain and we had to fight with some of the issues below. The whole thing is a bit easier with Alphas though, especially since you don't need to create a browser - just use xnView or some web photo gallery. Here's some obstacles you have to overcome /… -
Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
Hi Dr. Jekyll, > Tim Sweeny future where raw computing power makes all hack cleverness Mind you that raw computing power is not the same as size of memory :) In fact what's going on is that the cut-off point is gradually changing in favor of burning more ALU as opposed to memory consumption and data transfers. Anyway, back… -
Re: [Mixamo] Lady knight
Thanks for the feedback, i'll keep playing around with the lighting. gir, i agree with you to some extent, i was never happy with the pose covering her face so much. However i stuck with the pose because i wanted it to be dynamic and have a sense of power in her swing, (and quite frankly make her look like a badass who'd…
