Re: First ACTUAL Killzone 2 shot
The funny thing is, it probably wouldn't look *that* bad if it were not following *that* trailer. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. I really don't know what happened to people (including professional game devs) at the time of the PS3s announcement. They somehow momentarily forgot that games are made out of polygons… -
Re: Normal map seam
Yup vig, you're wrong on that one :P With a properly synched solution, one can make hard edges on the lowpoly model, separate the corresponding UV chunks, and get a perfectly smoothed realtime look with no hard edge showing. It has the benefit of producing very nice and flat tangent space maps, avoiding potential 'diagonal… -
Re: Early Star Wars 3D
hah, after seeing this i've been doing some internet research =) . There apparently was realtime 3d editing already in 1959 "General Motors and IBM start developing the "DAC-1" system (Design Augmented by Computers). This system was presented in the Computer Detroit conference of 1964, and allowed a user to input a 3D… -
Re: MSN drawings thread
Psyko, I just start up the Java Server and then connect to it through the public server list on their website. It would be nice if people advertised when they are online. Maybe we could even have some people hosting at certain hours. I'm at my desk most weeknights, so there's no reason I couldn't just have the server… -
Re: Character Polycounts in Film
45k for the sequences which are prerendert but still done in realtime at ~12fps but this is not only about characters, clever systems like instancing makes it possible to have millions of polys in one scene, or what about mudbox/zbrush? thats rendering too, they render quite a hell lot of polygons at once, but then start… -
Re: X-Com type games?
7.62mm is a hilariously broken, nearly unplayable russian game which is otherwise a realtime with pause xcom. really cool, but dont spend more than like 5-10 dollars on it. Anyone here who loved xcom but hasnt played Silent Storm and its expansion Sentinels (and maybe it's somewhat broken rpg cousin hammer & sickle) is… -
Re: Normals map woes =(((
the only way to fix it, is knowing exactly what tangents... max uses when it generates the normalmap, as that is rendered with the scanline pipeline it makes sense that it also works when applied in the offline renderer... I can confirm eric's quote, max thinks in "polys", while realtime renderers only have vertex streams… -
Re: Jared Leto
i think you are aiming way too high before even has the bases set , first before texture be sure to have all his recognizing features, right now he doesnt look realistic at all , desproportionate etc, more like a plastic doll , dont go higher than subd level 1 or 2 in mud before you did everything and you REEEALY need more… -
Re: 3D Brush
So Zbrush already does this, sorta. The displacement feature, lets you paint a bump map on the model, and view it in realtime, so you can seperate your pores, and fine details onto a texture, and keep your mesh much lower, while modeling. but it doesn't figure out what should go on the map, and what on geometry… -
Re: ISS preview work
I don't know if you're perhaps counting polygons instead of triangles, but those have way too many polygons for C&C Generals. Here are some examples of models that a friend of mine made for a Generals mod. Note that the rocket launchers all have four sides (admittedly, up to six probably wouldn't hurt) and no insides -…
