Re: Kart racing game
BoilingOil: nice going, you can remove lots of vertexes by merging/collapsing ones that are already close to each other and not really defining curvature. marshmonkey: what is your average trianlge count for 1 wheel? And while you are at it,- what about hats, characters, and anything else that can be customized. Also… -
Re: Rockband 3
so can you use any midi capable guitar? If I'm going to be shelling out 400+ on a guitar I'll be pretty upset if my only choice is Squire. I've wanted a midi setup guitar for a very long time, if you can use any one you want with the game it might finally push me over the edge to buy one... The fretboard/play space looks… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
It was a technological shiftm, to save memory at first when they ditched sprites. Ran up against it on my second title, High Heat Baseball for the 3do Player. Basically what it was is that if you has a character doing a catalogue of animation, each frame was 8K. the animation of a 3D character of 400 polygons, for all of… -
Re: Methods for hard environment modeling - interiors
[ QUOTE ] how do you unwrap something like that to be able to use tileable textures? [/ QUOTE ] You can simply extend uv coords outside [0..1] to get tiling. UV coordinates will always map to some point in a texture, and the mapping is done so anything that is contiguous in uvspace will texture nicely. This means that for… -
Re: Getting paid!
i think this is mostly a philosophy thing, i know guys that won't move a finger for less then 400-500€ a day, but then again some of them (not all) a having a lot of time without any work and therefore they need to get more to have money for the times they don't earn anything. I just think the other way around, i'm booked… -
Re: Some Down Time... but am I allowed!?
When I finished up crunch recently, I took 2 days off, plus a weekend (used more roll-off time to extend my thanksgiving vacation). I was ready to go back to work about halfway through day 3 :D I totally relate with Geezus - I spent the first two months going home, opening Max, and staring at it, arguing with myself over… -

Re: Poopgun
Thanks Johny and Mop I think you pointed the main issue out Mop. The gunmesh itsself reminded me of a eighties sci-fi prop and I was trying to create a realistic and function oriented texture for it, which doesn't suit the model that well. This is why I didn't add any pretty detail without purpose. I think a star trekish,… -
Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
Imo the only thing worth buying is photogrammetry scans i.e. color image + height map + low res mesh. Could be done with any modern camera starting from $400. Resolution is 1 pix per mm . Total scale and cover is what might be competitive since usually what's available including Megascan rather small 2x2 meters things ,… -
Re: Overwatch - Team Arena Shooter by Blizzard
I really can't wait to run through these levels, the art is ridiculous - palettes, lighting, composition, the whole fupping lot! Not sure I get all the cynicysm though; it would have been easy to look back at every golden-era Blizz release and draw the same kind of conclusions. Warcraft was just a warhammer/lotr themed…
