I've been using only as much polygons to match the silhouette as close as possible. You're right about the fronts being griddy. I found it was a great way at saving polygons when viewed at different angles. I'm hoping when I get to texturing them, and I post more angles, it wont be noticeable. However, if the textures…
Shader instances are very cheap. They're not new versions of the shader code. This is why you create master shaders instead of just making new shaders for each object. Also, by using this technique, you're shifting the load from the CPU - which renders scene instances - to a smaller load on the GPU which handles shaders.…
What can I say))) try work in mobile project and VR become very easy ) Polygons is not main pain, in common - shader complexity, how hard and how many shader operations used for 1 result pixel calculation (clean geometry with simple diffuse shader is very fast for modern GPU, even on mobile you can run 300- 500K triangles…
I'm finishing school in a month or so and am wrapping up my final projects...my ONLY distraction has been this game, love the character art and animation, very nice. My only gripe with it was the focus on getting points and yet they don't seem to matter...that is until I just broke 30x multiplier, now it's just part of the…
I'm using Unity 3.0 Pro. I updated the first post with new images that include some changes you guys suggested. I toned down the lamp light, also toned down the blue glow around the sword and made the sword glow with a slightly warmer color to make it pop more. I also soften the rock texture a bit to make it look less…
I succumbed to temptation on a Fry's Electronics run yesterday, and purchased the necessary components for a new rig. After mail-in-rebates, I spent no more than $325 on it after tax. I have an extra monitor at home, so that did not figure into the price. It's not a 733+ system, but I'm going to use it as a Linux box so…
Herr-Maestro: Hah, I've been described as looking like Freddy Prince Jr. and Elijah Wood as well. I'll tack Mr.Rollins onto the list. Here's a link to a "better" picture: http://www.afnom.com/darrin/artist.png Phatcat: Ahh two of my favorite firearms. Trully though whats the Seburo needs is for that back section to be…
haha guys, thanks for trying to help, but buying this shizz from america probably isnt that much of a good idea. feel glad you dont buy games at our prices... $120 for a new game. I asked the head of the lead games distributor why it was when he was having a talk to us in college and he told us that there is no reason at…
Heh true Therm. What's awesome to me about doing these historical pieces is the stuff I learn. Did you know he was estimated to have been between 6'2" and 6'4"?! About 300 pounds too. Not massive by today's standards, but for the time absolutely frickin' colossal. He was basically considered a giant. Trivia fact no.2: he…
Maybe a hybrid jet... The most thrust a plane needs is during takeoff where the power of an electric motor still can't touch the power of a combustion engine (although they are getting close). Maybe a set of assist jets could help get it up to altitude, then the rest of the trip is mostly maintaining and gliding..…
