Re: Industrial "Stuff"
as i said earlier i used a really low res ao map for this, just a quick render, and yes, i noticed those errors on the hinges. :( the low poly mesh is at about 6000 polys right now, the screws kill it, im thinking of "screwing the screws" becsause theyre really adding alot of count to it. Edit: i decided to put the shell… -
Re: who 'ere uses a mac
I want to get a Mac to play with it... the problem is that they're very expensive for the hardware they offer... for example, with the 600$ that a MacMini costs I can buy a PC with a Q6600, a Radeon 4670, 4Gb of DDR2 and a HD of 350Gb SATA ( which is better than the MacMini and even an iMac ). I hope Apple could be more… -
Re: FPS polycounts
The more technical details you can provide, the better ballpark figures the members here can throw at you. Telling us the expected player count range is a good start. 4 - 24 players is nothing to sniff at in an on-line fps shooter. You don't want too high of a polycount if you are expecting to have a lot of players.… -
Re: Xal's Practice thread
OK, I used the hair and fur system to make the eyebrows I am quite pleased with the result. I converted to mesh then baked it to a diffuse and normal map then used photoshop to overly the resulting maps over my existing maps. C&C welcome. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6076/head01pa4.jpg -
Re: New Space Invaders
ok thats nice, but can we get that up to 800 x 600 people resolution? .... they could do do it in a statium... but probably wont get more than a few frames per mintue. and to get that you'd really have to lay into the whip on them. also gives new meaning to a dead pixel... "awww he's dead... ok send the whole thing back." -
Re: UV Tips and tricks?
I use headus a lot myself as well. The way I always did things was: - export several objects that need to share the same texture later as 1 OBJ file (sometimes up to 30 objects) - load it into Headus, get some coffee and spend to time on unwrapping all of them - in Uvlayout I group objects roughly together but I dont do… -
Re: Portfolio
now you just need to put it online preferably on a own domain. Just create a simple html file and dump all the images in it. I like the ATST so far because the textures look good. I am not a fan of skydome renderings as they wash out all the normals and edges and make renderings appear muddy. Maybe check out this thread:… -
Re: New Life Scientific Corridor
Right I'm back and I thank you all for your advice because back when I posted that first picture I didn't think there was much more I could have done but boy was I wrong. I've done my best to follow everyone's advice but I think the main one that was difficult to do was reducing the brown. I added more tan to the arch… -
Re: Laptop Recommendations
Thanks for the advice, yeah I know the gfx card isnt amazingly important but as Ive had integrated graphics before I prefer some real gfx power. Have been advised to check out the Acer Aspire 6930 Gemstone Blue which seems to do most things Id like and seems to be a nice price (just shy of £600), anybody got any experience… -
Re: Need to buy a new PC, have no idea what to buy, assistance please!
Components needed: Motherboard CPU RAM PSU - It's important to choose a good power supply, you'd might as well go for some power right away as well, so you don't need a new one when you're buying new parts. If you buy a 500-600W now, it might be just a little bit too weak the next time you're gonna upgrade, but something…
