Re: Layoffs hit EA, company 'not disclosing specific teams impacted'
If you use that definition then any system (in practical application) falls into the category of milking surplus value from a workforce. The only difference at the end of the day is who gets all that extra value/energy/resources. Could be a corporation or a government entity. There will always be someone who is greedy and… -
Re: How to decimate very big photoscanned mesh (over 370 million faces)?
I typically use Substance Painter or Marmoset for baking, even when it comes to my photogrammetry data. I would agree that not many bakers are going to be able to handle 320 mil polys. Honestly, I never bother working with content at that poly resolution. I mean, if you can't get it through your pipeline, then having all… -
Re: bungie: 'Secondhand sales are evil'
The problem I, and I think many people have, is not the idea of trading/selling, it is the ridiculous profit stores like GameStop make on them. The idea of selling a game and buying a used game at a fair price I don't have any objection to. I do have an objection to selling a game for $20 or $30 and then it being sold for… -
Re: I need some assistance.
Confirming the practice thing. From my experience tutorials can help improve your work-flow but not make you a better artist. There the onus is on you. One of the most important skills, I think, is the ability to think honestly/critically about your work - something which is difficult at first. Addition: You can't expect… -
Re: A few Xnormal related questions and such
How many polygons have your lowpoly and highpoly models, pls? And... are you sure the highpoly mesh is marked as "visible" in the highpoly list and also that you checked the "show highpoly meshes" inside the viewer? Do you see any error dialog telling you that your VRAM is not enough to show the mesh? With a 1Gb card you… -
Re: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
It's too scary for kids younger than 13 to go see by themselves. It's just to let you know that there's more SCAYRY stuff than you'd expect from normal PG. Kids younger than 10 might need to hold Dad's hand at times. (I have a 12yr old son and a 9yr old daughter.) There aren't too many things around these days that both… -
Re: SketchBook- Seforin
what kind of material are you studying from? Your sketches so far look very heavy, like you drew over them many times looking for the right shape. advice: Try making quicker marks, and don't go over them multiple times. After you finish a quick figure, do another, and another. Work small, since you're still trying to nail… -
Re: [WIP] Verasia - 3D Environment
@Neox @Noren Thank you so much for your input. I'm so sorry I couldn't respond to you guys earlier, I completely forgot I posted on here. The trees at the front would certainly be trimmed. Those trees existed from the first block-out I made months ago just to visualize and plan my environment so I just replaced them with… -
Re: Optimizing Shader Performance for Real-Time Rendering
A lot of shader performance comes down to your textures as well. If you can get away with less textures being accessed, you'll do better. Many materials just need a monochromatic albedo, tinted a color, so you can compress to the red channel, and pack other maps in with it. It's better to pack materials into less textures,… -
Re: Anatomy Help
