Re: Substance going subscription only
@Alex Javor Now 'do whales fart?' is in my Google search history. Saying goods and services cost more as time goes on makes sense and all, but this isn't a simple matter of, "it's been a while since we've increased our price a bit, so we're doing so now." The amount someone now needs to spend in order to have access to… -
Re: Nintendo Conference
[ QUOTE ] As for leaving the console on, what's the big deal? It's supposed to use less power than a single light bulb. [/ QUOTE ] The amount of power used by a single lightbulb is not insignificant if you leave it on 24 hours a day. An average lightbulb is rated at 60 watts, which would be 1.4 Kw a day and 42 Kw a month.… -
Re: EMINEM - RECOVERY
MP: It's not them. Just 'Del'. 'Deltron' was a persona created for the Deltron 3030 album, which is written as if he's writing from Mars - where he lives. Del is a singer for Gorillaz and cousins of, I think, Ice Cube. -
Re: CONGRATS RENS!!!!
Hahaha yeah Xoliul, lots of people showed up :D This thread exploded with posts in a short period of time. Eventhough it is not Bungie or 343.. yeah 343.. I feel very at home here. Looking back at the hireing process it gives me a good kick now and then. Perfect timing, seemed like they actualy were looking for someone.… -
Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
cookedpeanut, if my eyes don't deceive me it should be this shape: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1878592&postcount=3030 You haven't posted your attempt, so no way to tell what exactly is going wrong, but maybe that helps. -
Re: e6550 cpu upgrade ideas ?!
Well here's the passmark CPU benchmark numbers: e6550 - 1454 q6600 - 2966 - $190 new on ebay, ~$75 used on ebay I5 2500/K - 6745 - $210/$220 I7 2600/K - 9095 - $300/$325 So the Q6600 would be a decent upgrade if you're short on cash, but the 2500K at ~$200 plus a $100 mobo and $50 for 8gb of ram would be a much better… -
Re: Normal map to vertex normals?
I'm not sure I understand the complex issue here, you have about 300 polies to play around with for the head. Now I assume, you're going to be deleting the helmet and not use it, right? Meaning PA will have her head exposed, right? So why not use that 300 polies you have access to, to overlay some strands of poly on the… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
Thats why I said that in games, batching is not as popular. Its more for trees/grass/particles/terrain. Also 2005 again, thats 6 years ago. The bus between cpu/gpu is faster, gpu's can draw more triangles, but I honestly have no idea what the gap is of triangles to draw call. It may be more triangles or less. My guess is… -
Re: Buying the right hardware for the job
These sort of threads generally pop up a couple times per year, but then drivers are released to fix the issue no? On the other hand with AMD/ATI cards, you can count on every new release to break something. =P Besides, the only cards "officially" supported by Maya are quadros and firegls. I always go nvidia for… -
Re: Horrible as Dell
I upgrade my PC in increments of no more than 300 Euros. It was self built but I think I've upgraded it step by step from a 386SX to the Athlon 64 it is today, never doing a complete replacement. Usually your drives, screen and other peripherials don't need to be replaced when you upgrade so you can save a lot by just…
