Re: Answered: 3DO / DDO Video card memory issue & general workflow question?
Everything that's on a single UV set should be combined before exporting for texturing in DDO or NDO. Trying to work with nine 4k texture sets would kill your GPU as far as working with 3DO is concerned. That's 36 sets of textures, 4 per mesh group. It'll probably push your system limits too, not just the GPU itself. My… -
Re: which console is better?
When the console first came out, that's all it really was to most buyers. Sony even planned on that. At the time it was either $400-600 for a PS3, or rather, a Blu-Ray player that can also play games-- or $600+ for a straight Blu-Ray player, most of which didn't even have the quality of video that the PS3 has. That's also… -
Re: Government bailouts and the Auto Industry?
I don't really have much of an opinion on this matter, but one thing I'll never understand is how people on the internet seem to be on a bandwagon to hate American cars. I really don't get it. I have a Ford and I love it. Here's what I got: 05 Ford Focus with about 60k miles. Gets 32-34mpg highway. Has around 60k miles.… -

marvelous designer 2
I have been messing around with the demo the past few days and I think its pretty damn good. You can get some really nice cloth shapes out of it. Do you think this is the way forward for production now, rather than spending days sculpting cloth from scratch. I guess you just output the high res , project that on to a low… -

Re: Scott Homer - Humvee WIP.
You asked and i have delivered! I cut lots of polygons out over the weekend, 20k to be exact, its now down to around 60k polygons. I think im done with it now, im aware that its not low poly enough to be considered a game prop, however all of the interior is modelled and the framework/exhaust is also modelled. 60k is about… -
Re: Modeller Noob Needs Help
1) Check out the polycount wiki. Loads of information and additional resources to get you up to speed on topology best practices. 2) There is almost an infinite number of ways to accomplish that, but what would be easier than reading a wordy explanation here is to just find several different modeling 101 tutorials -- I… -
Re: Deconstructing foliage shader from Rural Australia pack, question about packed texture
@poopipe I think I need to understand some more 101 stuff first... for instance, there is a difference between targa file and png file. There is 8 bit depth, and 16 bit depth. But I don't know what the differences are, or why they matter, beyond a few basics. Like to have an alpha, that requires more bits (more data, I…
