Re: Texel Density
If your question is should you resize one's texture from 1024² to 966², the answer is no. Due to how the pipelines in all GPUs are designed, power-of-two textures are optimal for the best flow of textures to be loaded and emptied. Doing 1024x512 or even 2048x512 is fine because both U and V are power of two. You can pack… -

Re: laptop for art and gaming?
main reason to upgrade to 7 over personal preferneces is going to be stability for your software. Im not a fan of 7 but all the hot fixes are aimed at it and if arent supported wont be for much longer. My 2 cents on the laptop bit, I run an asus gaming rig for creation, it runs starcraft on high settings no prob and I… -
Re: Twilight
Haha man! Having read all the books.. uhh... uhh... I don't know what to say. Except that I was completely swept up into the whole highschool girl fantasy land, and now, looking back, think.... what the HELL was wrong with me? Seriously, since when did I like vampires that are all sweet and cuddly and don't bite the necks… -
The future of portable/mobile gaming
Alright so, I wanted to share my prediction of what will eventually happen to the portable/mobile games market in the next several years, and see what you guys think. It's my personal belief that around the time the iPhone 5 and iPad 3's release (1-2) years these tablets and smart phones will begin to compete directly with… -

Re: Student work: Mech Model
Great progress. I used to love those tight deadlines while in school :) Your model is coming along nicely. Some things on the lower body to look out for if you still have the time. The vent on the side is angled out more in the first concept than what you have it. Not a huge deal, I find it directs the eye towards the… -
Re: [Maya 2020] Absurdly slow performance and broken parent constraints
Hey, just felt like posting an update on this, in case somebody faces the same issues at some point. I think it's just polite. The problem appears to be the constraints messing up Maya's hierarchy of the objects in the scene, effectively swapping parent and child. The solution I found with some help, was to simply bake the… -
Re: Future of 3d modeling and texturing
I was talking to some colleagues about this a little while ago. We were wondering if a very sloppily and shoddily made game would be "acceptable". Imagine we scanned a character, then just ran Zremesh on it for the lowpoly. Auto unwrap the UVs. Imagine all environments were photogrammetry, and all props are scanned. Funny…
