I was searching the Unity3D forums and came across the Strumpy Shader Editor (SSE). It's a visual shader editor akin to UDK's material editor. I decided to try to convert what I've got so far to Unity and SSE and it has been going well so far. I know you've been helping me in UDK, but I believe it's easily translatable to…
AMD is obviously pulling up the rear these days in terms of processing with CPU's, but then, they are cheaper, and realtime graphics dont really require that much, if any cpu demands at all. So I get where you are going... However it looks like you are not saving money on the processor but are sacrificing processing power…
Slightly OT but this needs to be said, Im sorry, but Deus Ex graphics looked much better than System Shock 2s. Yet even at the time Deus Ex graphics werent cutting edge, and as stated they were only a year apart. Those polygons for the nose always bugged me in SS2. SS2 also wasn't a living breathing world where you had…
The sad thing is that many students who want to get into the game art field are being suckered by these for profit schools even with research into the courses and faculty. By the numbers the 4yr gaming degrees are costing an average of $84k (no gov aid) that's a little less than $1k a month at 6.8%. I dont know about you…
When I get a call from somebody with an accent so thick I literally can't understand them, and they ask me to send them a right to represent before they even tell me what the damn job is, and they want me to send it to them RIGHT NOW, and I tell them I need $X per hour and they tell me the most they can offer is less than…
for rendering... looking at cinebench benchmarks will probably be most revelant. Every machine I have owned put together in a renderfarm does not equal the power of my personal machine. ( 12 heavily overclocked water cooled i7-980x threads ) which still renders 20% better at stock speeds than a 2600k and is only 10% slower…
I too, am a product of San Diego Ai. I agree with cman2k that the wide spread spectrum of topics learned is a little out of control. The college I went to - San Diego Ai - the knowledge that is required to be a successful "entry level" artist is something that is just starting to catch up with the technology. San Diego Ai…
So I've been searching a lot about the tablets on the google and there's just a lot of information, I have Wacom One (Small) and it's really frustrating to work in a small space of that tablet, I was thinking of going with Intuos 3D Medium but then I thought I might save up more and get Wacom Intuos Pro Medium instead, is…
Wot! you call tad over a week, slow? :p and luv'n it's weathering btw cos IMHO comparable to this F-15C - National Guard SQN canopy frame formally commanded by...
Google search is better than MSN search. it finds stuff that I want and MSN search doesn't Gmail? To me its the same as Hotmail with a bigger in box, and more importantly, its easy to find your stuff. You email is searchable. I don't need to use it, because I have my own email mailboxes. However, Mail on OS X is better…
