Okay, whoa... I was nearly finished with the whole thing, but it actually WILL NOT let me submit the item to try it out, because apparently 300 polys is a HARD limit on the sword. You can hardly do anything at all with just 300. I can see now why there's so few great Juggernaut weapons. It'll take some work to get around…
"- the model should have less than 30k polygons (in other words, the models should be made so that you can have a lot of them in game " Is pretty much the punch line. Compare to screenshots from TA Spring (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots.php) It's an RTS engine, 30k polies is next-next-next-next gen, and then…
Well I just finished coming back from the movie theater so the film is still fresh in my mind. Here are my overall thoughts on the movie: Direction: Zack Snyder is clearly talented and a director on the rise but he needs to learn a bit of restraint. What worked so well for him in 300 seems over the top and out of place in…
I've created a camera in maya, and turned on resolution gate. The default 640 x 480 came up. In render settings, i turned it to 300 x 800. The resolution gate doesn't chage, but the numbers do update to 300x800. When I render, I get 640x480 squished into 300 x 800. Any ideas? I thought it might be something I can set in…
Fantastic job on the expansion guys. As usual, I'm thoroughly enjoying slaughtering your creatures over and over hoping for some of your cool weapons to drop Oh and the Ironlore folks sure nailed the release, with it being the same week as 300. The day after seeing 300 I was sitting at home and had a sudden urge to play…
Well, it's a ton more stable than 301, especially when dealing with massive UV sets and loads of images (which was arguably 301's worst downfall). But I haven't really noticed an improvement in the normal map display, as such. The sculpting vector displacement shader's a lot faster and more efficient, which might be what…
[ QUOTE ] consoles are ment to play games only (or they used to be) but pcs do a wide range of things. not everyone wants to spend $2000 on a computer to be able to make their games run the best that they can be run. Consoles are about having a SET platform where games will run how they are MENT to be run. Spending…
Word sizes its images relative to the page size, using the DPI setting stored in the picture. But most CG images are automatically set to 72 or 96 DPI, which makes them print pretty large (and blurry). Best bet is to reset the images' DPI to 300 before loading them in Word. XnView can do this in a batch, so can Photoshop.…

Hello! I'm looking to replace my burnt out second monitor right now and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm looking to spend about $300. I'm a bit confused with the Samsungs I've been looking at. Online I see a 226CW a 2232BW and a 2232GW with pretty similar specs and are pretty close in price. Does anyone…
