Actually this one is a REAL true thing. At work I am working with texture sizes that dont fit the 256, 515, 1024 structure at all. A few maps are not even a power of 2. There are varriying reasons for this, it really comes down to what its being used for and what is the best way to get the best preformance for less mem…
Per. This is not a campaign done by extremist women. The Swedish government sponsors this campaign and personally Im glad that some of my tax-money goes to this. The campaign isnt about telling everyone that magazines retouch their covers. Its about that young people tend to have a very distorted image about how women…
Here are some shots of how the Interior is looking now, Finally nailed down the centre piece as this giant power emitting crystal which pulsates and animates in engine, but for now you will have to do with just some screenshots. Got some little robots that fly around and scan the crystal as well :) So I have around 2/3…
Unlike real war where the outcomes are negative, the rivalries in D-War produce positive results...That is why I personally feel it's great. 95% of the wipper snappers entering D-War are probably first year school students with alot of energy but for us more burnt out entrants its FUCKING HARD to build up the will power to…
The same way I pretend to be Spanish right? :p but seriously, Im all for the events being there own forums// no more forums vs forums kinda deal... I love rivalry amongst forms but I think it got out of hand when people went as far as to post on opposite forms trash talking, and then certain powers that be changing that…
I just bought a "cheapie" Asus that was $899. It has the Nvidia GTX260M and an Intel Core 2 Duo. The graphics pushing power on this thing is INCREDIBLE. Sure the processor could be a bit faster, but for doing 3D stuff I don't have to compromise anything when compared to working on my desktop PC. Best laptop I've owned. For…
If anyone here still reads books, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain is quite amazing tbh (I'm yet to finish it, though) And that video is garbage, gave up on 6th minute. Most of stuff he's saying is common sense, except p. biased and really really wordly. Planning a lecture…
yeah I'll ask them about doing it a different way, but we're up against it and they have quite a high pile of stuff on their plate.. I have a feeling I'll get a 'cant do that' response edit: yeah thats a negative hehe. its the difference between just blending static models or getting the skinned position of the base mesh…
You will be pushing shit uphill without some form of meaningful analysis. Once you can visualise say, level vs damage, tweaking the values becomes much less of a guessing game. The hard part is coming up with what exactly to graph out, otherwise you'll have situations where a player with 90 fire damage but only 10 blade…
I'd recommend ShaderFX, a node-based DX shader creator plugin for Max. Maybe not quite as powerful as writing it raw (or maybe even as the UE3 material editor) but it makes it very easy to throw together quick shaders and you can easily get a grasp of what can be done (and how it can be done) with shaders. It also has a…
