Yea the curve editor still kills FPS for me too, there are times I would love to see 3fps. Here are the results of my tests on my work machine (a below average machine), with a 100k tri mesh. Vista 64bit Ultimate i5 2.67GHz 8gb RAM GeForce GT 240 (I'll test it at home tonight which is a lot beefier system) Realistic…
I almost have the low poly version of my gun done. Along the way I experienced some problems with baking maps from xNormal. This was a problem that I've never seen before... After a lot of trail and error and reading countless post on different forums I finally solved the problem. It seems that most of the information was…
Hey I created some pictures to make some points about your current UV's Okay I did get lazy here and I did not point out everything so lots of things could be doubled up here but oh well sorry :( 1) All these 4 can be put into one very little reason to have 4 of these when you can have 1 2) Could be cut in half vertically…
I haven't done a Master's myself -- I got a bachelors in maths and got through two years of an art degree before dropping out to work in games instead. But I have worked with people who have Masters degrees who have interned where I work. And it's the most heart-wrenchingly tragic thing. "How's the Master's? How's your…

Thanks guys :) as for the textures it is random as hell. I admit to use crazybump, Ndo, zbrush, maya, and x-normal(baking) I was being pretty experimental at times also and trying to do alot of stuff using 3D shaders in Maya rendered out using displacement. The lower Cobblestone texture was mostly procedural textures on…
What modeling application do you use? Maya now, but I'll talk about Max because that's what I have experience in. I just switched to Maya recently. What pluses and minuses does it have? Pluses: Modifiers, plugins, interface makes sense to me. Minuses: They always add some feature each version that doesn't really work, for…
What kind of regular DVD holds 15gb? The highest capacity DVD for the 360 is a dual layer DVD which holds roughly 9gb. Anyways, 9gb is plenty for 99% of the games you'll see on PS3/Wii/360. So many people are mislead about their statements concerning storage capacity because they base all their figures around the previous…

Working on Total Wars Campaign map is my principle domain and area, and as such I noticed recently my 2d skill have gone a little downhill from the standards I set myself when I was younger, so I've decided to do sketch a day to get my skills back on track..…
Hello Everyone! My first post here, So I hope I'm received well. I was referred from the Interlopers community (of which I'm a long term member) to your talented community.
