^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure whether this is the correct stats but I THINK it's around 3 million all up? I used stat ENGINE command to get those results. I've instanced the s*#t out of everything, that was a main focus of this level, to create assets that can be used without noticable repetition. I have GTX 580 SLI on i7 2700k @…
I agree with building a stash of reference for yourself, I worked on a AAA racing game that has just come out and there is the same reference texture of metal beams used 3 times on 3 diffent textures for 3 different bridges in the same game! CG textures is great for base textures though, I carry round a pocket camera more…
PG278Q is the TN version. Then they lie with the discount, as its always that price. With the 9 at the end is the IPS version. I have 2x the IPS one and its great. I probably got lucky with the IPS glow, because both are very low on glow, but colors and contrast are on par with the professional 4K IPS LG monitor I had, so…
Here's some of my 3D work. Note that I've just gotten around to putting my 3D work up on Artstation ready for Marmoset viewer so there's not much there at the moment but I'll be posting more gradually. Playable Shark from Hungry Shark World (Created from own concept. 3.2k Tris & 2048x2048 texture. Normal and Diffuse map)…
After the 2008 market crash, I'm hesitant to say stable careers exists. With the rise of taxes, property costs etc, employers (in all industries) are just not taking risks in who they hire. They just want to cut costs at every corner so that means hiring people with enough skills hoping that they don't demand more money.…
the cylinder's chambers are pretty much done. the edges aren't completely circular, but it looks like the chambers themselves are. since the smith and wesson 500 is a 5-shot revolver (as snowfly shows in his screenshot), i have a pentagon in the center instead of a hexagon. because of this, i have to have tri caps instead…
Thanks Harbinger, Earthquake, and Perna. Saved me stress here. You fixed it :) Below is just information that correlates to the problem and what solved it in case anyone else stumbles in here with the same issue. Nitrous Direct 3d 11 Nitrous Direct 3d 9 Nitrous Software All gave me this problem. Using a GTX 580. So I…
Wait, WAT!? I thought that was a joke?! It can't be true, the console is going to come bundled with a Kinect? What the hell? What's the point, shouldn't it be an extension IF I want it? So how much is the console going to cost? Rumors are 300 to 500, that means the console itself is cheaper or something? Or the Kinect…
After the chains. the nuts and bolts are probably consuming the most vertices for the least visual benefit. Depending upon the in-game size and perspective, you can probably eliminate the ones on the base, allowing the normal map to show them. The bolts under edge can probably be eliminated entirely without many people…
