Some 3d for the next part of the map. Center area that I think would be pretty crazy. Some decisions where made for ascetics and others for potential gameplay fun. Let me know if you know how I can get lights in sketch up. something free and not amazing. it be great to get the local illumination sorted out in 3d.
You could get most of the material definition and base details done in SD or ddo in a few minutes after the initial setup but you will still need to handpaint a bunch of details to get to that quality indeed (the texts, tags, small specific and localized paint chips etc). I guess that's why we are creating Substance…
The tools operate as fast as your computer will allow them to. This includes read/write speeds on the drive you're using. If you're working from a networked drive, you're going to see a huge drop in work speed - try saving locally. There's only so much data that can be transferred via networks and it pales in comparison to…
Could you please Inspect the html when this occurs, vs. the same post without the error, and post screenshots of the difference? Along with screenshots of the rendered effect? Do you have a browser zoom enabled? I suspect a local rendering error, rather than a html error. I can't see how the page code would change with a…
Running your own web server for a portfolio is total overkill. Get a proper host like bluehost or something equivalent, so you don't have to do the server maintenance yourself or worry about speed/bandwidth/downtime from running it off your local ISP. Running a web server may be against your ISP's EULA as well.
High Moon has one slot open for a junior level engine programmer. Sorry to hear about this happening to local talent. We had a lot of guys wind up over there after the Deadpool layoffs, and I know several people from Trion wound up over there as well. The San Diego AAA Game Dev scene is shrinking!
Brygelsmack: Thanks dude. At the moment it's very simple, just a visarea, portal and local cubemap with a couple of ambient lights. You also need a giant global cubemap as well to light the rest of the map. Like this. danscott: Thank you. Yes you're completely right about the books, they are literally 6 sides at the…
If you're good enough, you can find freelance work. Depending on your level you might have to drop your rates to something fairly low when starting off - especially when dealing with indie clients on a low budget... but hey getting paid for what you're passionate about beats stacking shelves at the local supermarket :D
Weird. What hardware are you running on? Maybe the graphics card can't handle it? Also maybe the defaults have been corrupted somehow. In Windows 8, 3ds Max stores the defaults in C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\<maxversion>. After you uninstall, delete these folders, then re-install. Maybe this will…
My local shop still sells them at about $60 (Canadian) (Geforce 6200 256mb) Maybe you can find one on kijiji or craigslist for cheaper? I used a spare ati pci card for awhile back in the days of 1 agp slot. Worked, but slow for everything other than more desktop real estate :P
