I'd be interested in seeing a demo of this in actual 3d. I typically feel nauseous with the extreme fisheye, like the old QT VR, or the flash example above. I think mostly it's the extreme curve that happens towards the edges of the screen that draw my eye away, something that a computer monitor can't handle without some…
Thanks again. Oh, and I wasn't talking about real time lighting effects, I know that isn't an option. Even basic lighting effects, you're talking about halving your framerate at best. More advanced lighting effects you'd be talking about being left with say a quarter of your unlit polygon budget. Even Pixel Bender,…
it is a point of what you add in the vid, it may not add something to the game play, but it is very important to be able to connect to the person that is talking. imagine ray mears show without a shot of him being shown in the episode, that would really be weird for the viewer. so my advice would be to really keep them,…
Take your finger off the trigger guys, nobody claimed that zero studios use blender. Chris rightly pointed out that Blender accounts for a very small percentage of the professional sector, and teaching courses in Blender rather than Maya or Max at the university level would absolutely put the students at a disadvantage vs…
This is great advice. I conducted a fair number of interviews at my first industry job and once we brought the artist in for an interview, it really was just to see what sort of person they were. It was for a very small art team and we were pretty stingy about who we interviewed. If you are nervous, find some peace and…
i can't repeat this one enough, it's the most important part of a good interview in my view: make sure you have stuff to say about your work. If you've got an animation showreel, don't let anyone sit and watch it in silence (remember they've already seen it). That's interview death. Ask to drive the PC or DVD player it's…
re: clutter We talk abou this as part of our XBR strategy. XBR Diet is the codename for this effort. The goal is to provide more configurability of the core application, so that a studio could conceivably build their own "Game Max" and configure their machines that way. re: multi-thread Cloth is MT (2010), Hair is MT…
[ QUOTE ] FatAssasin: We'd already established that the bump map route was not a viable one for real-time purposes before you even joined the discussion. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, I didn't see that post then. That's all I've been saying this whole time. So we're actually in total agreement. I love it when we find out that we…
After pulling up many of these stubborn plants from our beachfront this past summer, I notice the cattails don't look quite right. This is a pretty good example of what the whole plant looks like. I'm by no means a cattail expert, but we have plenty surrounding our lake. From my experience and comparing to yours: - There's…
Hi, no the object has no materials assigned and from the material editor, which opens by pressing M there is no node. In my opinion it is impossible that there are no materials assigned to the file but I do not know how to check this. I have searched several times both on the internet and on youtube but no one talks about…
