Re: The newest VG character...the King of Burgers!
I remember people making a big deal over the BMW shorts, but I'm not sure if I ever actually watched them myself (I think I tried, but I had dial-up at the time). The thing with the BMW shorts is that BMW wasn't trying to sell them. They were much more expensive to produce than a regular commercial, but it was a worthwhile… -
Re: Texture Optimization
[ QUOTE ] Except that jpeg compression won't help performance at all, because jpeg is a disk format and has zero influence on how texture data is represented on video cards. Disk format is irrelevant for performance. Use .bmp if you want - it will affect loading times and size on disk, but not performance. [/ QUOTE ]… -
Re: Sketchbook: DeusExMatteo
Weel, this is the progress on the vehicle so far. I colored the different parts so that they would be easier to select from Mayas hypershade. The polycount is now up to about 2000 tris and I have tried to bake normal maps for the wheels and it worked out fine. Other then that I have been doing UV mapping for the better… -
Re: DS 3dviewer
I have now imported 6 different models created by different people with different errors and what not. I am using Maya. Here are some kinks and workaround I found when doing this. Might help someone. I am not entirely sure that all of these steps are absolutely necessary, but most of them are. I don't think you can go… -
Re: My Life, in Pixels.
Looks nothing like a Subaru. My first thought was a BMW. Subaru wagons have a way different shape. Add the side markers/signals, add the trim/lines and panel cuts, as that's what makes a BMW a BMW. -
Re: Blender 2.5 scripts - Add Chainmail and FastLoop
BMesh is really needed but people are a little tired of waiting and have started to script mesh tools using the standard builds (crouch is doing looptools 3.0 now) I think making a knife tool is a little beyond my ability's currently, but i plan on making as much as i can so it might happen...i would have to do some pretty… -
Re: Keen's Progress
Whoops, yeah I'm using 3Dmax. I did what you suggested but I got the same effect (even with bmp). Not a clue what I did to screw this up, but I think I'll just suck it up and get it done this way. Thanks though. -
Re: there's a new pope!
"Joseph Ratzinger was born in Marktl am Inn, in Bavaria, the son of a police officer who was staunchly anti-Nazi. In 1937 Ratzinger's father retired and settled in the town of Traunstein. When Ratzinger turned 14 in 1941, he joined the Hitler Youth, as all young men in Germany were required to do in the Third Reich.… -
Re: tga to 16 colors?
[ QUOTE ] Eh, won't challenge what you said, but I'm pretty sure he's using BMPs rather than TGAs. [/ QUOTE ] If that's the case, then indexing is fine. I just went off the thread topic "tga to 16 colors?" I think you pretty much nailed the biggest difference between bitmap and targa. Alpha channels. -caseyjones -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
I've prototyped this on the weekend. It's doing a pipe boolean and then re-aligns the pipe geo to the initial edge selection to create a hard edge again. It's the same approach as done by the Bevel after Boolean addon, at least the earlier versions. It's remarkably simple, but clever. I'm gonna re-implement it all in bmesh…
