Re: Windows Holographic
In the video I posted above, they say it's completely autonomous and that it doesn't rely on anything, it's completely self contained and a computer all unto itself, like a smart phone. They also say it has a CPU, GPU and some new kind of HPU. Which is probably just another CPU dedicated to holographic images... who knows… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Yeah Eric, that's what I meant :) Personally I prefer when my normal maps contain a lot of varied hues; the example you posted has leaves facing (more or less) the same direction; that rarely happens in nature. Usually, I rotate the leaves to grow from the branch at very sharp angles, it gives you a nice color variation in… -
Re: Applying Normal Map to Wheels
Each truck is 57,000 polygons. The scene I'm using it in is in my signature: Florida Megascans UE4 environment. I'm a train guy, feel free to ask me if you ever need help with railroad modeling or texturing. :) Regarding your model, this is what I see in Max: Is this correct? If it isn't, could you collapse your stack… -
Re: Sketchbook: aphexx
:) yes thanks, that would be cool. but since i come from 3rd person role playing games, its most generic for us to only put a cloth into chests, that hides the contents. since a chest can always contain many items. so that is what i also teach to my students. but yes, when you have the ressources, to make more different… -
Re: Portfolio Sites: A Rant
i hate the sites that say click to enter, then show a flash popup containing a website after a 20 second animation. a website should not resemble a playstation loading screen. and graphic navigation buttons should be kept simple. thumbnail images should be small, and no large background images. shockwave files should be… -
Re: Psychonauts
[ QUOTE ] what a great game, if only it was a point & click adventure game, I'd be in heaven. [/ QUOTE ] I share that sentiment. I still replay the old LucasArts adventures every now and then. Still I enjoyed Psychonauts despite the fact that the last stage was fiendishly difficult. Not generally a fan of 3D platformers… -
Re: no LAN support for SC2?
Can't say I care much since I intend to buy SC2 and play it on b.net until my fingers fall off. Though at some point, after the game has been out for a sufficiently long time the LAN networks can actually contain more players that are at a higher level. A good example is DoTA games for War3, where Garena has more stable… -
Re: Online Identities Versus Real Life: Why Employers should/cannot ask for the other.
This brings to mind a comment made by a recruiter at siggraph one year. They were discussing the process for application ,what they like to see, etc. to a group of us. One of them mentioned something about how an applicant shouldn't provide links contained within social networking sites or a personal blog, because… -
Re: Ratchet Commando (normal mapped)
Yeah, poop is right, you actually don't use smoothing groups on the low poly model, because the normal map contains all the shading. Using a smoothing group makes things look strange and messy. The model looks good, the specular is nice, althoguh I don't really like the texture on the arm, not the armor bits, but just that… -
Re: Portfolio Crit
Some really good crits so far, and I like the changes you made. I think the thumbnails could be more flattering. Normally you want to stay away from the "looking down at" angle for characters, place the camera eye level or below to get a slightly more dramatic look. It would also be nice if the larger image, contained more…
