Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
I was looking at the Antec 900 mostly because it rates so well on new egg, my girlfriends brother has a 900 two case so I was going to ask him how that goes but it seems the CM 690 is the way to go. I noticed another case because it just came on sale: CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced -looks like a pretty good case but has a… -
Re: Prop Thread
Hey guys, sorry, I've been on vacation and haven't posted anything in waaaaaaaaaaaay too long. This time I'm using this concept by Arnaud Valette- Model- Zbrush Model- Wires (4,724 tris)- Maps (2048 diff/spec/norm main texture, 512 diff(shown)/spec/norm/alpha leaves) I know the UV layout has a lot of empty space, but I… -
Re: How many textures per model is too many?
...(Still laughing 30 min after reading this)... Good ideas, renderhjs, I'm facepalming over not thinking of the UVXform trick you mentioned. I already tried the "multiple parts in one texture" and that worked OK, but I wasn't sure if that was a "legit" method. I need to get with the program on TexTools, everyone here's… -
Re: filthy kid
Yes KDR I feel the same, the whole thing is far from being locked atm. I didn't make the usual researches/references gathering for it, roughings things as they come mainly. Time will tell! I've also slightly redone the hands since that, will post updates asap. Oh btw, nothing mysterious about the dark feet, they were just… -
Re: Little Cintiq!
Pior: In discussing the new cintiq on the cgtalk forums I was informed about this model: http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529666090.php The interesting thing about the gateway c-140 is that you can configure it with an actual graphics card, as opposed to the integrated graphics chipsets that a lot of them come with -… -
Re: Game engines in relation to poly count?
A lot of it varies per engine and how the model data format is handled/implemented. UT2k3 doesn't seem to have a restrictive upper limit if it does have a limit at all. There have been character with 15000k plus tris created by players that run just fine in the engine. Old torque had coded limits of no more than 10000… -
Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
[ QUOTE ] World of Warcraft is a poor example Vig, because it's one of the best looking MMORPG's out there. So infact graphics do help sell that game in compairison to it's competition. -R [/ QUOTE ] It does look good but the tech wow uses is hardly "cutting edge". I wasn't bashing wow, I love the look and artistic… -
Re: Archwall - WIP (Image Heavy)
The biggest issuse I'm seeing right now is noise, both in your textures and your normals. - There's an almost uniform strong bump all over everything and the scale of the bump is too large. -Also, the normals are too soft in a lot of areas, the edges of some of the bricks and sculpted accents would be sharp even being… -
Re: CGSociety's interview with Kevin Lanning
The outsourcing was a tiny component, mostly some misc destructible items and a few homeless /bum type characters. A lot of other developers seem intent on pushing the point that there must have been a secret army of outsource resource we used but sadly there was not ( though I'm not trying to say this notion is being… -
Re: Technical question - female face
@carvuliero The head is just for testing :) I didn't start it with any project in mind at all. Just wanted to learn the tools. I did do it with dynamesh and then zremeshed it. But I didn't know that manual retopo is a thing, so I want to check how will it work. And yeah those 3 steps are now much clearer for me, and I will…
