Re: need help buying monitor(s)
I've been keeping an eye on Dell's Ultrasharp 2410. I'm just waiting for the price to drop below $500. They sold for $479.99 when they first shipped then shot up to $599 and have been hovering around there since. Anyone got one of these yet? The reviews have been really good for them. I've been waiting for this monitor… -
Re: What are your Top 10 RPGs?
I`ve played most of RPGs from 1997 to 2012 and the best is surely 1. Planescape Torment <- This is amazing. I`ve missed it at release and only played first time in 2009, and it was magical. I usually replay it once in a year or two :) 2. Baldur`s Gate 2 3. Fallout 1&2 4. Arcanum 5. Witcher 1&2 6. Vampire Bloodlines. 7.… -
Re: Software choices + workflow advice (Maya user)
Mental Ray can produce just as good results as the others, the only problem imo is you really have to tweak with the settings alot to get comparable renders to the others in the same time. Id say the third-party renderers are always about ease of use. Alot of features of your chosen 3dapp could be imcopatable with with the… -
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Some big names involved with this one, I hope their magic system comes close to the on in Two Worlds II. And just to get the facts straight :) 38 Studios, owned by former Red Sox Pitcher, Curt Schilling, originally began developing the Amalur universe for use in an MMO, codenamed 'Copernicus'. After acquiring Big Huge… -
Re: How to become a Game Tester
I QA tested this game in 2009 for two weeks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Super_Hero_Squad_(video_game) Literally the worst 2 weeks of game development in my life. Monotonous, repetitive, boring. The lead developers were extremely rude and they seemed extremely proud of the titles they were developing. They were all… -
Re: Jungle scene in UE4
Hello, You can increase SSAO amount to ~0.9 for much better results, and increase SSAO Fade out Distance as well. Enable DFAO and LPVs if you haven't. Somehow the balance between sky color, directional light intensity and skylight intensity is off. Try to: 1. Hide the fog 2. On skylight uncheck Affect World, then check it… -
Re: PNG or TGA ? I dont get it
PNGs and TGAs are lossless - there are no compression artefacts from either format. TGA is uncompressed (larger files), where PNG is compressed (smaller files). Neither format has mip maps. TGA has RGBA channels. PNG has RGBA but the alpha channel is either stored as a separate channel (like TGA) or as a transparency… -
Re: The "How Would You:" thread series
hmm, that is sorta what I'm talking about. I checked it out and they seem to have very specific things they are doing, such as a camera or a ghostbusters proton pack. Thats fine, but I was thinking of things a bit more generic, more broad. I wont really need to learn how to build a proton pack, but learning different… -
Re: Creating a new office space
I see I see ! Well, you could always get a little picture frame at the dollar store, and frame a quote in it saying something along the lines of "This represents a saving of 10 000 Dollars" :D But then again, I too used to have a desk space with shelves loaded with artsy stuff ... until I realized after a while that it's… -
Re: Web Development
Interesting, thanks Mr. Kain. I've had several problems with Maya with low FPS which is the main reason I 'gave up' animation. I could barley move a character for some reason. Very strange. I had Max on my old PC but just a few months ago I got a brand new pc and got Maya instead. Thinking of trying out Max to see if that…
