Re: Sketchbook: DeepSpaceBanana
Starting to put together some Post FX to go with my Weather System, Made this wet screen effect last night. Fully parameterized to control speed, no of drips etc, and some condensation. Rain effect using analytic shaders (bugged sprite rotation at the end was me trying to get the sprites to conform to the global wind… -
Re: How to COMPLETELY delete Maya 2014
Can it not find a license, or is it trying to find the student license? Is your current license standalone or floating? You can easily get the student license to expire by moving your system clock three years to the future and then launching Maya. Then set your clock back to now and you'll be able to install your license… -
Re: Steam Console...
I think hardware spec ratings would be great! So devs could make games for spec'd machine class, and gamers could build for a spec'd class. As new hardware comes out and new classes would be made, and devs could aim and optimize for different specs. No more High, Med, Low settings, but settings for different spec systems.… -
Re: Workflows for creating effects
That's actually a really good question. Using the example of rain or snow, typically I start by creating a "base level" particle system. Meaning something that moves somewhat like rain or snow. I'll then get a material/texture setup and once that's applied, I'll finish the motion. But no 2 cases are ever the same, so some… -
Re: another building a new pcthread! advice on my parts list!
"4. is this vid card still beefy enough to play most current games?" I just built a very similar system and it runs everything i throw at it, i was expecting slowdown in the Bulletstorm demo but it didn't even flinch. Also i skipped the SSD in my current build due to budget, i do have load times, still feels fine. Although… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
The 'Gorgeous' update for NS2 (Natural Selection 2, on the Spark Engine) yesterday, added a system for reflections that lights the mojority of their levels with many box/sphericaly-projected cubemaps. They probably got at least 50 cubemaps for each level, but it works out since their levels are built with short sight-lines… -
Re: Path of Exile - Open Beta
Tried it out, it's kind of cool. The passive skill tree is massive, reminds me of the Sphere Grid from FFX. Seems like a game I would rather play on my Xbox on the TV, mindless killing. The one thing I thought intriguing was the NPCs sell/buy system. You don't use gold, you use Scrolls of Wisdom or other various items. It… -
Re: Psp? DS? Gizmondo!
dude, get a psp, get a gig memory stick, and a few games.. it really is the way to go. the psp was region free on something, i think games (someone please correct me if i'm wrong about that bit). the screen is absolutely gorgeous. the stick / nub is comfotable, and the system has a sleep mode... do either nintendo's… -
Re: Next-Gen Wish List?
Everyone should get dibs on that AI brain system from Lord of the Rings and Narnia . I'd love to see better AI, as well as better lighting systems like realtime GI and Sub Surface Scattering. I've seen these in demos, but not in any production games. Malcolm - CoD2 certainly has lightmapping in it. Not sure if you're… -
Re: Cannon Deck (WIP)
http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Heritage/1797/Victory/guns.html That website has pictures that should give you a clear idea of the rope system. Basically you had thick ropes (called Breaching) attached to the gun and the bulkhead, they kept the gun from recoiling too far back. There were also smaller ropes (called Tackle)…
