Re: Where does the money go?
Yeah sure bobby kotick's wage is massive, but it is also a tiny fraction of the companies yearly profits. Also most of the wage was based upon stock awards, from his $159 mill in stock. yeah its a bit shit but you have to look at it in context, its not like the company brought in 100 mill, and he brought home 60 mill out… -
Re: Piracy...
So it's a matter of definition then. Yes, I completely agree that there is a group of pirates who will not buy a legitimate copy no matter what. Be it sticking it to the man, supporting the "scene" or "punishing" companies, they will come up with some bullshit reason to support it. However, I do not believe that these… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
With my limited knowledge I do think it matters most of the time especially if you're vertex bound. However if you are already bound by batch count then having LoDs is not going to help much at all. Lets say you have 400 draw calls and each call equals an individual 3d object. Let's also say that this equals 1000 000 tris… -
Xnormal baking ALL map types as i do diffuse?
Hello I had a scan, few milion polygons, i "converted" this (retopo etc.) into a lower poly version of 10 000 polygon and Diffuse, Displacement (32 bit EXR) and Normals maps (the "standard one" - purple-ish :-) ). I deleted the original scan. Now i "discovered" that i would like to have also even lower poly version of this… -
[FINISHED] Natalie Dormer-Realtime Character
Hey just wanted to share my last project. in short, started this project to improve on faces. took a long time and learned a lot. for a bit more check out the Artstation link. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3d3abY Some short vids https://cdn-animation.artstation.com/p/video_sources/000/363/391/tbrender-camera-1-001.mp4… -
Retopologize already retopologized model to a lower poly variant
Hello everyone, First off: Sorry if this question is simple/obvious. I did some googling today and most likely I just searched for the wrong things, but I couldn't find an answer. My question is simple: Is it possible to retopologize/decimate a low-poly version of a high-poly mesh to an even lower poly version and keeping… -
Re: Create full houses or Modular with Blender?
This can't be true, or we are not talking about the same thing. Performance wise, placing a mesh with 1 000 000 triangles in the scene, will not give me the same performance if I would place that same mesh 1 000 times in my scene. Harddrive: The mesh will of course only be taking up space once on the harddrive, since you… -
Re: usb hard drive very awesome!
i have two dual-port u160 scsi controllers in one of my machines. does 80-90 megs/second off a single drive (10 000 rpm), around 150 megs/second sustained off two drives sharing a single bus in software-raid. since i have four of those busses, three of them are raided-together and non-raided drives for backups and one for… -
Re: UDK - Nature Scene
nice enviro coming up :) It feels a bit chaotic imo. The usual mistake that I seem to notice in natural enviros is the logic of assets' placement. I would place grass/shrubs around stones and trees first of all; smaller stones around bigger ones etc. Same goes for vegetations looking better if places more along those… -
