How's your graphics card? Smoking or on Fire at all? Try changing the resolution of the games, and playing in windowed mode. if you change he location of the windowed version of the game and it isn't splitting it in the exact same way (same angle/position), then it's something with your hardware. If it's still splitting…
This is a question more for games with biomes or titlesets. Like for example a game has different zones or locations with very different environments. How many trees,rocks, and other doodads per zone or location do most artists make? What's the sweet spot do you create 5 trees or 10 trees? What about planes of grass, etc.
Somewhat minor issue - if you migrate a DDO project from one location to another and attempt to use the Reimporter utility, if it can't find the initial images in their original locations, it will display several errors and then fail. It would be useful for collaborative work if this was handled more gracefully and it…
Yeah vectors are perfect for this. So I'm guessing you have a rocket which has something like 4 RCS modules spread out around the middle of the craft? Then whichever is closest to the ground is activated? You could do that with dot product. So you need to get the direction the models are facing somehow, in Unity it'd be…
So I watched the tutorial, and no it's not something that is only possible in older versions of Maya. In the tutorial he uses the non-linear deformer on the control curve, not the transform. I don't really like this method because it'll disorient the animators when they're animating. You can however, attach locators to a…
Hi all (first post here) I was skimming through this and read a comment about not having access to the normal of the terrain within the grass material. That may be not be true. First of, since .18 I have been manually pointing vertex normals up in my grass meshes. This solves most issues and makes for some interesting…
@Ruz What kind of pies?...and thinking out loud here but had you thought of starting a self funded small business venture, maybe online niche oriented? instead of looking for something specifically catered too your particular job criteria? There's tons of examples floating around out there, where people from all walks of…
You could get a small sized pc for this, but i would lose the idea of working away from a hotel. A battery powered supply for the type of pc you are mentioning would way to crazy to travel with, a better idea might be an inverter running off the 12 supply of a car or maybe even renting a small generator locally. If you…
TBH like on the MP5, that black grunge looks pretty awful. What caused it to get like that when everything else is fairly clean? It doesn't make sense. Remove it from the diffuse and maybe try putting it on the spec only. Just remember that you can grunge without making things look dead, and that specular is everything.…
I love the simplicity of this scene... not something you see very often. I think you could really push the feeling of being at a high altitude if you got more specific with the foliage. I'd expect the grass to be patchier and a darker green, broken up by small rocks and patches of gravelly soil. This is a great opportunity…
