Re: Normal Map help? Seams along UV Cuts
Those links are coming up 404 for me. 126/126 is slightly off so you'll get a slight seam there! Also this seems like it could be an issue with edge padding and mip-mapping. Make sure you have a wide padding berth. If you're baking with xNormal it defaults to a huge padding spread so that shouldn't be an issue. Post a… -
Re: Development Cycle Watermark
As an example: I volunteered at the DAoC roundtable this weekend, since it was local. We had about 400 or so players come together to hear about the new expansion, answer questions, and just interact with the developers. I had a blast, even though I only worked on one expansion pack for a few months, getting to see these… -
Re: Mercedes SLK WIP (First Post)
eh the cars in games like Dirt, GT5 etc are over 40k polys. I am not saying you should have such high poly wheels, because you shouldnt, but 12k for a current gen game is way off. edit: nevermind I read the post wrong. Either way I dont think you should be shooting for such a low number with your car. If you want to make… -
Re: Playstation 3 (Sony conference)
I'm pretty sure that the exercise that you'd get from standing up or flapping your arms around with the controller would be extremely minimal. Or for that matter standing up at the arcade. [edit]Oh, and for the price, it's steep, yea, but Sony will lose a projected 400 dollars per PS3 unit sold in the first year due to the… -
Re: Construction Site
Honestly, I've learned a lot since coming here four years ago, using both Max and Maya, as well as other programs used in the industry. Although, I'm not entirely sure if it's worth the $35K-$40K tuition, but that's entirely up to the person based on their self-marketing skills (which is something I'm trying to get into as… -
Re: Deliciously intense drinks?
Since it's getting onto 'winter' here, we're getting back into the 'homemade hot cocoa' mode. Not just instant or mix, but where you make the paste out of the cocoa, sugar, and milk, and use really really good ingredients. I lover homemade real hot cocoa. If you don't have time for that and are passing a starbucks, I… -
Re: Just when you thought it was over... yep more layoffs
I'll gladly take the tomatoes that'll be tossed at me for saying this, but 25 people out of around 400 people isn't much of a layoff to get worked up over. And, it sounds more like yearly cleansing of low performing staff members then budget cuts. It's good for every studio to let the weaker staff members go ever 12-18… -
Re: this fucking weather
Shoosh! It's been beautiful here in Seattle :D Anything > 70º is boo weather for me. Sunny is just fine, as long as it's cool. One thing that honestly annoys me though, is how people here complain about all seasons. I hate hot weather. HATE IT. But no matter how cold it gets, I love it. Hell, I loved walking to the corner… -
Re: Can I/Should I become an artist, with this personality at 23?
Yes you are too old. The industry constantly hires 13 year old artistic super stars. Once they turn 16 they are pushed into a meat grinder and fed to the current cycle of artist so that their artistic prowls will grow more than the last batch. It's still not too late to toss yourself in the meat grinder... Seriously no one… -
Re: digital cameras

I'm never without mine. I got mine for 400 USD in…
