@Odium, I didn't mean to imply you were an idiot for beating it in 3 hours (Which I still don't believe). I was talking about those people who just speed through the game as fast as they can and don't even listen to the wonderful conversations. It sounds like you played the game exactly like I did. I went at a steady pace…
http://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2488052/#Comment_2488052 MigNormalTools, its an old script from 2005. But still works fine even in Maya 2018. I have edited the script slightly for my own use so that it matches a bit better the default Maya UI colours and i think I changed some window sizes slightly. Ill put my…
I think it depends on the job market really, if I left the US to work in Europe in 2005 and I wager I wouldn't be as fortunate today as I was back then. Back then the job market was much better and anyone with Next Gen experience was in demand. Right now i wager it isnt the case and you would need a portfolio that is…
If you want to know the exact albedo value for something grab your camera and your handy Macbeth chart and go out for a shoot. That will get you the most true-to-life results. If you don't have a Macbeth chart see if you can find calibrated scan data online somewhere and use that to inform your texture. If you can't find…
No, I'll disagree with you that "almost half of the user base bought it used somewhere down the road". I played Dead Space. I didn't buy it new, I didn't buy it second hand, instead I rented it from Lovefilm. The Blockbuster video that I walk past at night is about 50% film and 50% games these days, so I suspect the rental…
I agree that I'm not entirelly thrilled with the visual quality - as I mentioned earlier, I'm personally disappointed in the texture resolution being so low. Looking at a similar game in terms of style, I think Max Payne 2 had crisper 2D work. However... I don't assume this is necessarily a flaw of the Source engine, or…
snowfly: from reading that article. it makes me want to stick with XP even more. At least until all the hacks that get rid of half the crap in there. I don't want my OS being able to access my motherboard bios. I want to be able to use openGL. I hope Alias, Softimage and all the other developers give microsoft hell for…
Well, i didnt enjoy the novie that much either. I think it had too mucha ction and not enough dialog. Almost like a porn action movie. I was expecting much more. The thing about Daniel Craig, well, it's ok for him to be more agressive as a bond, since it's supossed to be that this is is first time being a Double 0, he got…
* Update to materials and textures to try and add more color and variation in the metal materials. * Added the base mesh for the large doors. In the end the large doors will have three texture sets for the base (included), actual door, and some detailed electronic components that will be attached to the panels, like a card…
I am working on a building in blender for a level I am making in unreal. I designed my trim in Quixel mixer using mask's and mega scan surfaces. I'm getting obvious issues are the seems. my biggest issue is lining them up and all. It is a uv problem, but could also be a design of my trim sheet's as well. Right now my mesh…
