I'm not quite sure what it is you want to do with those verts, but its not cloning. Cloning is when you have some part of the model that you want to make a copy of, for instance if you modelled a button on a robot, and you wanted another one identical somewhere else on the robot, you would use clone to make a copy of the…
Tan... I really wish I could find a link definitively saying the Fox engine will have a indie/subscription/educational release. Have u found anything? Also... Major face-palm to all the noise second guessing yer GI aspirations. I remember the same scanline is more than enuff... No need for GI when it all can be faked…
Not necessarily just about brink but worth noting that in general most multiplayer focused games will bomb if they don't go F2P (I suspect brink will be the last big commercial example of this), even if they do go F2P they will usually still bomb if they aren't well promoted. Multiplayer games centralize around a catch 22,…
My colleague Ben Garnell, who also worked on some borderlands 2 stuff said that was all just flat faces where different parts met, didn't sound too complicated (but that's just hearsay). I think if you want to mix a lot of crazy, very different guns, it's the only way. it just gets too hard to combine otherwise. We did…
A counterpoint to the theory that scary works best with what you don't see , is that I think it could also be what you can see but don't undertstand, and what you've seen before and now don't. What you can see but don't understand. This is easy because since most games let you fight your monsters you get to see them…
ferg-- Thanks! and thanks for that great responce. I do think we may have a slight failure of communication however.. I agree with what you said about not us not quite knowing how to "get emotional" about games, but to a certain extent. it's extremely rare that i see content that's not stereotyped. After playing games my…
It's no argument that there's incomplete and invalid information out there. The problem is it takes time to sort through it all and try to set everything straight. Writing up a couple pages of technical information, cross checking it, validating it and packaging up examples takes a lot of time and experience. The question…
sorry for the late reply,- although I have not yet been experimenting with communication between MS and JS or html through ports/ sockets or with the help of additional tools - I was able to communicate more or less with an embedded html / JS within max. it requires though that the html or JS file that is used is run…
Gosh, I wish I could just open up your level and click all the check boxes to activate features... You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a…
make sure that you flip the green channel if you baked normals in max Also, your tri count seems very high, there are a lot of areas that seam really excessive(all the groves modeled in, with multiple edges per grove). And it seems like you've go so much geometry that it is hurting your bakes in some cases. Are the side…
