Re: Rendering normal map information to lightmaps
A single lightmap is only 1.3 mb, a couple isn't going to be too much of a memory hog. I'm creating fairly enclosed environments so 3 1024s should give me fairly good lightmap resolution. Yeah, specular and normal maps per pixel is expensive on iPhone but I can make it really cheap if I bake the shadow information into the… -
Re: Assault Rifle Thoughts
I like it overall but as I have some questions and critiques for it. I've attached a file to highlight it. RED: That magazine is a bit wonky. The angle of the lower part of it is angled to show that the ammunition is tapered but it becomes straight as it enters the weapon. If the ammo is tapered you need to make the… -
Re: Super Hero Animation Critique
Cool idea, you have a nice base to start from. F1-44 Everything here is pretty static. A good tip I learned is: when doing a motion, use the “largest control” to sell an animation. For example: when doing a laugh you could just animate the head, but to really sell it you want to add his hips and gut to involve the whole… -

Re: New Ultima game on Kickstarter
Yeah, it was the fixed release date by EA. Some of the cut content is still in the files, like when the undead were supposed to invade the city, and there was meant to be a party system too. On the other hand they've used the engine in SVGA for the Crusader games some time later. U9 was actually third person and the… -
Re: Nature Sounds
Oh, as far audiobooks, there are a few free ones I can think of off the top of my head. The first would be Neil Gaiman's 'A Study in Emerald', which I loved to bits (despite having read the short story before). Neil's got a pretty pleasant reading voice:… -
Re: What monitor to get?
Recently got the dell 2408WFP, fucking amazingly good monitor. Got it on sale for about $120 cheaper as well($480 instead of $600). There is absolutely nothing bad you could say about this monitor, if you have the money and are looking for a quality 24" for art work, go get it! To me this actually seems better than the… -
Re: A Really Hard Flash Game
I don't think Cho Ren Sha is that hard really, since the patterns have large holes, but it is hard to see what's going on with that moving background. No, it's mostly that the patterns are damn fast compared to other shmups. And the holes get smaller and smaller as you progress. Try watching the replay video in a fresh… -
Re: Contemporary "art"
In defense of the implied dig at fractal art, I would like to point out that part of the 'art' is getting predictable results out of often random effects. As an example, I have recently been working with a quality glass script in apophysis, with some fairly good results. The main challenge that I have set before myself is… -
