Dude! Stop with the necrophilia already. This thread is almost 10 years old. :# -
Re: Stuff to do in San Francisco
This is just a view from someone else who is playing tourst for a few days befre GDC... I will deffinetly back up the statment that if you do Alcatraz, buy your ticket for another day for the earliest time, gets crowded awfully quick. While we were there thankfully a few times the crowd broke up to get some nice photos in.… -
Re: Blend Shape Animation UV Problem
Got it working. Holy smokes, I can't believe what I did just worked. Definitely in foreign territory when it comes to all this new fangled blend shape transfering mesh attributes stuff. Anyway, for people who stumble upon this: In your modelNameShapeOrig node, uncheck "Intermediate Object" on all your blend shapes (not the… -
Re: Error extracting support files = Dieing HD?
Good News: Since I work in tech support I run into this kind of error pretty often. Bad News: There isn't one solid fix for it. And i have not see that exact error before. However most of the time that kind of error pops up durring install it's a currupt compressed file such as zip,rar, or install file. I see it the most… -
Re: Preferred Game Level Environment Art Dimensions: Powers of 2 or Base Ten?
we invented it and we stopped using it for a reason :D I did propose switching our engine over to natively using imperial russian units once - nobody took me seriously -
Re: How long should it take to complete an environment asset from start to finish?
overall it depends on the asset. Different situations call your different amounts of time. I'm sure there are some speed demons out there that can bust out wonderful looking assets in 2 hours, but the rest of us non-phenoms need to take some time. "should I start timing myself?" yes...use a stopwatch. Sop it when you cease… -
Re: A Question about 3D Models and Normal Maps
Okay, so I got some time to test Pior's method out and initial results look pretty good. This was my first attempt so ofcourse we might achieve better results with some iteration. I'll try to make a step-by-step video soon to cover the whole process, but it's pretty simple. Programs I used: Affinity Photo - for conversion… -
Re: [PBR] Physically Based Rendering Bible
That's true, there is nothing stopping you from developing or using a shader based around the metalness approach that also has a reflectivity input for non-metals. However, you lose some of the optimization benefit (use twice as much vram), and now artists have 3 inputs (albedo, metalness, non-metal reflectivity) for… -
Re: I still love you Polycount
To be fair most of the replies of this thread could be argued to be unnecessary, sometimes the replies can be more cringe worthy and unnecessary than the the original post. Now I do not care what certain people may have posted or done is the past but @Odow your post is certainly the worst thing currently about this thread… -
Re: Just Crit Really
Model seems a lil' bit inconsistent with its polygon use. Like, the big cylindrical engine thing has a ton of loops at the rear, but the anchor is just a collection of cubes. My initial impression is that there's a few places that could do with some of the polys being devoted the that main engine. Is there a high poly…
