Re: I'm looking to buy a new video card, but I have some questions.
definatly stick with Nvidia. I made the error of going for ATI, and so far, realtimeshaders in maya do not work at all, I have had a bug with PS cs6 wich made it a pain to work in unless I turned off some thing in the preferences. if you do still want to for the ati, maybe have a look at the XT/tahiti LE version of the… -
Re: Incorrect AO/Normal Baking in 3Ds Max

I looks like baking doesnt like sharp edges Test 2. Same geometry, but i conect UV islands as much as possible. Result: Better visual appearence, but… -
Re: District VII [UDK]
Okaay, quick update here from the previous one. Progressed with placing around all items and I could say everything is more or less where things go! Not having lightmaps in any of my meshes is making all the repeatable elements stand out a fair bit, but hopefully this will corrected once I start modelling and texturing… -
Re: Getting in the game industry : some (serious) questions.
Well posting your idea is going to get a better response than a post just saying you have an idea lol. I would tell as many people as you can everywhere, transmit some enthusiasm and gather reliable people. You don't know who may you need till you meet them. Sure you need certain roles but generally if this is your first… -
Re: [Portfolio] - George Cochrane, Prop & Environment Artist
You've got nice work on there but one thing that made me do a double take was that you have written "3 x 2048" on your dragon prop. At first I thought you meant that you had use 3 2k sets (diff, spec, norm). Then I realised that you meant all 3 textures. I think in most cases people say that they use 1 2k texture and it's… -

Re: London Polycount Meetups!
London/UK/EU Polycounters! It's been almost a year since we last had a meet, so I thought I had better get off my ass and get one booked! I thought it would be best to book it for the same weekend as EGX Rezzed again as it worked out pretty well last year with almost 50 people turning up in the end. We will be meeting at… -
Re: parrallaxing / depth offset grass shader
found the bias , but not sure how to implement it, its set to 0 by default, 1 and up are the lower res ones, so tried -1 but couldnt really tell if it made a diff. I think my test dot texture was too small / fuzzy, so i switched to transparent and dithered. Like to keep it masked so I went with dithered and am getting… -
Re: Tips for moving to california?
Ok, OPPOSITE OPINION TIME. I live in Los Angeles. I live a 10 minute walk from the beach. I pay 700 a month for my 1/3 of a 3 bedroom apartment. I manage to save a lot of money per month. The fact is, LA is not a place where you can live by yourself unless you have a solid bit of money. You will have to live with…
