So I'm out of college and no hardline and 10 mb/persec download speed [Those were the good days!] and I'm at home with wifi. It's not spotty, but not really strong. I dunno if I'll be able to do online gaming like what i want with battlefield 3, but I'm hoping. :) Anyways my issue is that i have no idea how to get my tower…
Hi, time for another update. :) Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that. @Peyd3d You make a very good point about the camera positions. I haven’t fully committed to fixed cameras yet, and I can see how that makes it harder to read the space clearly. Locking in a few key viewpoints soon will definitely help with composition…
Hello ! No problem. Models from high profile games from this era (PS3/360) are IMHO excellent examples of what can be done with a reasonnable budget. Not only in terms of raw numbers (tris # and texture sizes) but also because they're good reality checks on what matters and where to cleverly cut corners, in turn giving you…
did you buy a premade or build it yourself? My case came with rubber sound dampeners to prevent hard-drive vibration from being transfered into the case and it has 3x120mm fans that run at a lower voltage because larger fans running at lower voltage will push more air than smaller ones and also produce less noise. I…
I keep hearing about PS3's technological superiority, but I have never seen it in action. Anyone can spew all this crap about how the PS3 is SOO much better, yet we see that every multi platform game has the PS3 with lower resolution, blurier textures, and slower framerates (I don't think any of them are even at 1080p…
About the Project www.redoubtgame.com Redoubt is a multiplayer only, co-operative first person shooter which will be hopefully released on Steam in the £15-£20 bracket. The basic back story is that the planet has been overrun by cybernetic horrors, by-products of a war where experimentation was allowed to spiral out of…
Personal project I did for fun to teach myself Octane. I bought the license for it and am using the plugin in Maya for it. Started sketching some ideas on my iPad in Procreate, then started a 3D blockout in Maya. I composed the shot and setup Octane materials and lighting, then composited renders in Photoshop. Last step is…
Replacing your video card is a no brainer. For $65 you'd see a big improvement in performance. Replacing your CPU is feasible, but the bang/buck ratio somewhat lower. It would be a modest improvement, not a huge improvement like the video card. With a 300w power supply, an 89watt CPU is probably OK. You might try the 89w…
Hallo, I'm going to enter this competion, I shall use zbrush for most of the modeling and try to use Designer and painter for the texturing, I'll render it in marmoset becuase its the only engine i know how to use. the basic idea is a giant castle tower sunken through the ground, where only the highest part, the throne…
It's still the same: It varies to your needs and to the engine you're gonna use. There are no fix values just some get-close stuff ^^ Here's an Info page from CryEngine: http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC3/Character+Budgets Maybe you can get an idea of such things with their values ;) (I would guess others have lower…
