Re: PBR Texturing Workflows and Industry Standards
Yeah there is a performance hit, but I did a small test between wait times for Painter and DDO. Using Painter in 4K res was just as bad due to the shorter wait times but much higher frequency of waits. Turning a layer on, painting a stroke (actually, applying first point of a paint stroke was a wait and then lift up from… -
Re: I'm a New Grad looking for critiques on my portfolio
Hi man, I think some of the presentations of your work could use some work. For example, the composition of the flamethrower in the last three images are cropping the asset a bit unlucky in my opinion. I would either show the asset completely, or zoom in more on the details you want to show off. Right now it's kinda in… -
Re: Bat W.I.P.
Thanks everybody. ScudzAlmighty - You're right, im using the normal plus the occlusion map for the "texture" to do a lot of the work. *I really am not sure how to texture this!* also i threw in a maya cloth texture in the specular attribute, which you can see in the bust. Oniram - you're right. i added a few cameras with… -
Re: Intuos3 or 4? Advice needed
I have a 3x5 Intuos 3 and a Medium Intuos 4. I've had the Intuos 3 for 5-6 years or so and the only issue I've had with it is that I've managed to wear down a little spot on the surface and tear through the top layer. So my pen catches there now, but I think you can get upper layer replaced...and its after 5 years of use.… -
Re: Connecticut School Shooting
Yea one per room could be over the top and cost prohibitive. Maybe having one panic room with 4-5 classrooms attached to it? 1:1 is ideal and the most safe. Easier to get a small number of people into, faster to lock down. The problem with multiple doors into one central room is that with more people and more entry points… -
Re: How can Polycount help?
In regards to the monthly competition, maybe split it into two categories: Sets and single items. In addition, winners of previous monthly competitions get a cool down on the following month(s) to allow different winners (at least on the licenses). Last year we constantly got the same people winning the top spots, Imo. In… -
Re: E3 '07
GoW with 5 extra chapters with AA + AF... YES PLZ! Lost Odyssey looks like a really good RPG to me, reminiscent of the playstation Final Fantasys... Before it all turned to shit. UT3, I'm lost for words, just hope it hurries up :P Killzone2 trailer impressed me despite dipshit comments on gametrailers that it's every bit… -
Re: Tablets: lots of questions
Hi 5, I think what you can do to see whether you need a S or M size tablet is to cut a piece of paper following the size they provide in their website and try to draw with a pencil in that limited space, guess its the most close representation of the tablet "draw region" before you actually spend some cash on the actual… -
Re: Game violence study
On the post. Before we go into dancing sprees. How are these statistics taken? Meaning I can see a potential flaw in population. Since the population has continued to explode , the amount of violence may have stayed the same or increased. We arent seeing this because quite possible the areas where the violence happen have… -
Re: 60 000 polygons?
3 to 5 days? At 8 hours a day? Jesus man. I'd say 3-5 hours, maybe 8 if its really complex. as for a 60,000 poly model, like the others have said it kinda depends on just what techniques you use and how detailed the end model is. If you want what standards I'd hold to: Assuming we are talking a full detailed model with…
