CryEngine had Light Propogation Volumes at least since 2009. The guys from Lionhead put it onto UE4 after the SVOGI thing failed for Epic. So shortly speaking what you call irradiance has actually been in games for a while now. What I think what you're actually referring to is a clean art style that plays up bounce…
Honestly, nothing really struck me on this. UE4 and Unity will stay at the top of the game for a long time it seems. Personally, the UI, the functionality and the menus seems inviting and User-friendly (much more than CryEngine for example), I especially like the auto-snap object placement and the nice terrain editing…
Yea normally contests are run like a poker tournament. You pay your fee you get in and if you play your cards right you walk out with more than you did when you walked in. Either way the cost of admission is the cost of playing the game, it funds the prize and makes sure things go smooth as well as filtering out the people…
hey, sorry about the delay and thanks for commenting ^^ You're bang on right about the wear and tear. Looking at it now, there are no chips or chunks taken out as you'd expect on the rim of any shield. What sort of colour would you go with on the knife? Do you mean colouring the highlights and shadows, that kind of thing?…
I went over on a J-2 which is a spouse visa of a J-1. Because I didn't have enough 'points' to make it. 5 years exp plus 1 year of schooling was not enough. Actually they were the ones interested in us. We weren't really applying to places as we were still freelancing. Yeah any management or the person in charge of your…
it scares the shit out of me, his face looks like a kuma (japanese bear), and he is so hairy - its just scary. The eyes look very wrong and almost orthogonal aligned whereas they should be more angled in a natural way like it does in the concept drawing. The hands are also very scary, like the ones of a hair old strong man…
Zen archery is also a crock, it's about being at peace and tranquility as you draw and release the bow, and not caring where the arrow ends up. It's a far cry from actual combat archery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_in_the_Art_of_Archery that katana probably also would've went through all the carcasses if he had hit…
Dont forget NAFTA which has put American corps in Mexico paying very low wages at best. The number one income for Mexico is drugs. Lets see.. work for slave pay, or run drugs for a cartel? Live life short, but with lots of money, or slightly longer but worn out? Hmm. What would you choose? For any that applaud this, stop…
Thanks for the kind words. My wife had been sitting on that name long before we ever met. I had no complaints when she picked it out...seeing as it was a family name on my side as it was. At this point...I couldnt imagine a more fitting name. My wife was so strong. She was laughing with joy (or perhaps anesthesia) during…
When I was in High School I worked for a small mobile kiddie carnival that worked the valley. I worked the "Ball Pit". Those little air filled plastic balls? That was my job. Just about EVERY DAY some little kid would piss themselves in the ball pit, and not want to come out. I'd have to go in there and drag them out…
