Re: Shader - Specular Term - Fresnel
The way I've been using it is multiplying the final spec value by the frensel value then adding that to the diffuse * diffuse lighting. The fresnel value is usually extremely low (most non-metal surfaces are between 0.01 and 0.04 - metals can go up to about 0.5). This means that the specular result is strongest at glancing… -
Re: anybody
I don't think Autodesk supports Maya PLE anymore, it went the same way as GMax. Other free options are Softimage Mod Tool which is up to version 7.5. Or Houdini which also offers a free learning edition, though it's not used much for game development afaik. I'm not sure if Autodesk allows a user to sell a license, a lot of… -

Re: really cool explanation about piracy
Alright, point taken. That doesn't mean there aren't other options that haven't been thought of. Crasong: "Would people then shell out 3 bucks to play a game that should cost 60? I just don't see how micro-transactions work out for these types of games." That's the thing, you're looking at is as a sale per copy scenario.… -
Re: The Humble Indie Bundle Deal.
What a lot of people don't realize, I think, is that the pirate community is pretty tight nit. They have forums very much like PC with their own big name members and lots of activity and discussion. One likely scenario for this situation is simply that people browsing the warez forums and whatnot saw this bundle posted by… -
Re: Interview Question: What Games Are You Playing
Hah I agree with the "just say what you're playing". The number one piece of advice I've heard over and over again when I was asking for interview advice is "DON'T LIE!!" Seriously. Trying to play mind games with the interviewer is I duno.. Just list what you like to play. If the interviewer likes the same games, you can… -
Re: Handpainted luv by Cordero

Re: Tablets
The best tip i can give you: Try them out. Like Zac said, some prefer working with a large one, some prefer a small tablet. Ask friends, or walk into a store (I think apple stores usually have a bunch of sizes as demo units) and feel what you prefer. If you're new to tablets I would also advise against buying a good wacom.… -
Re: Torque 3D now in Beta
jocose: questions at hand but first some background. 1: I've worked with both torque 1.4-1.5 and own TGEA. 2: I feel rather burned on those purchases primarily due to: A: Art pipeline quirks and general annoyance B: Poorly written/implemented occlusion of scenes and things in them I saw Torque 3d at GDC this year and it… -
Re: Urban Scene (hopefully will be unreal ready)
I'd suggest getting more ref for the doors, what you've got there now with the white ones is something typical of the PVC front doors you get here. Most back aren't nearly as decorative, and usually just as danr posted, a plain block with a single large pane window. (Just pointing out door styles with these two, ignore the…
