Re: Computer upgrade time!
Damn it looks like I'm too late, it says it's now up for £89.12 Ex VAT or £106.94 Inc VAT, which is quite a lot more expensive. I just found out that the site I ordered from has a lot of bad reviews regarding delivery :( . Looks like i'll have to wait for a long time. The site said it'd deliver within a working day, but… -
Re: Pimp my AR15.
Props to you for talking about your methods, successes and problems. Good stuff. Some quick crits: The EXPS3 model looks pretty accurate, but the materials not so much. The outer shell is aluminium (IIRC) with some coating, while the actual holosight shell is plastic. In yours they both appear to be metal. Another thing to… -
Re: Trying Blender
Looks like this might be an oversight introduced with the newer versions of Blender. I've checked back a couple of versions and the 'problem' is evident there, which is odd, because even if the Action is unassigned, it has data associated with it so it shouldn't be getting deleted - unless this is Blender being aggressive… -
Re: Steam Expands Beyond Games
It seems to me that most of people's complaints regarding Steam's offline mode stem from them not realising that (correct me if I'm wrong, but) in order for you to go into offline mode you have to be online first to restart into offline mode. Which iirc is some kind of security feature to ensure that you login online first… -
Re: PBR : Before and After example ?
Speaking of PBR, can someone explain the requirements of what is considered PBR (as opposed to what is not) in the gaming world? I come from film background and one of the requirements to having a PBR pipeline is to have physically plausible area light sources (i.e. lights that have size and can be sampled from). IIRC,… -
Re: Looking for some help-Facial rigging with bones in Maya
One point mentioned in Jason Osipa's book is, if you expect flat arcs on your facial animation to simulate skin sliding around, expect to position your bone pivots waaaay outside the actual head mesh, way in the back. And some bones will have to overlap, i.e. to rotate the top and bottom eyelids around the same pivot. That… -
Re: photoshop cs4 brush size stops working.
This is probably the language setting being switched with the default shortcuts (ctrl-shift and alt-shift iirc). Try the language bar settings (you may have to make it visible first, should be among Windows' shortcut bars somewhere) and turn off all keyboard shortcuts there. This used to drive me nuts too, now I'm keeping… -
Re: normal maps vs. the programmer
There are a few different kinds of normals maps, however i've fairly certain what you got from zbrush was actually an object space normals map, since they tend to have more of a green-yellowish color. Whereas blue is tangents space. I'm not 100% sure but i think max can generate either. If he is telling you tangent space… -
Re: Forum's 'Homeliness'
totally disagree... getting to know people and networking is one of the main reasons i post here. most of my facebook friends came from polycount, i've met a bunch of polycounters in person. in fact, my closest friends here IRL came from polycount. almost every job or job interview i've had in this industry came about… -
Re: Pet Peeve: Sloppy work. Or: How Anal Am I?
HA HA! I'm sorry if I'm coming off as whining about it, or as expending all sorts of energy worrying about it. I really don't feel that way. I was simply curious if other people run into similar things that irk them, and if they take the time to fix said minor issues, even if that's outside of the task you're actually…
