Re: Hussar Armor
Just to second Elith2's suggestion; I subscribe to 3dMotive and the vids are really good - loads of general advice (as opposed to model specific so you can apply it to anything), and they cover the usual problems /solutions that can occur when baking normal maps. Don't forget the Polycount wiki -… -
Re: Palin interview, better than a nip slip
Have you ever read "What's the matter with Kansas" (if not, the Wikipedia page has some useful info and good links at the bottom)? Republicans have been in control of the Executive for 20 of the last 28 years. They've controlled both houses of the Legislature, and the Executive, since 2002. They're not going to 'solve' any… -

Re: capturing hi-poly round corners with normal map?
Chances are you're not breaking the edges that run along UV seams before baking. But yea examples are pretty much a must if anyone is going to give any solid help. Also check out the polycount wiki, tons of great info in there about this stuff. Especially the section on smoothing:… -
Re: Job Security Question
its a bit long, but the housing part i was talking about starts at 17 mins in, and the part about job security starts at 37:28. But the whole thing is pretty mindblowing in terms of giving an insight into his world view. I try to re-watch it every few months to remind myself of some of the principles.… -

Re: 1080p or 1440p ?
Maybe a bigger advantage is 21:9, when you have many many sidebars and need more viewport sight. I waiting for 1440p 21:9 with g-sync but 1500 is a bit to much. :poly122: http://www.displaywars.com/28-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9 When somebody need to check the dimensions fro 2 different monitors. -
Re: Geometry vs Textures (Alien Isolation Art Question; Use Which?)
Syncviews script works well but it's such a tedious process imo. Quad chamfer is parametric so it saves quite a lot of time. Though I haven't done any extensive testing with the quad chamfer method. edit: This script is quite useful too, but it requires chamfers everywhere because it ignores smoothing groups.… -

Re: why is dynamic foveated rendering not the standard in flatscreen pc gaming?
5% of 4k is 192x108 pixels. With a 28" 16:9 monitor that's a viewable area of about 2cm square . So. No, thats not true and your premise is flawed. As far as the existing methods used on flat screens go.. you're looking at rendering 30-50% of the screen at 25% resolution. It's a pretty significant saving - has to be or you…
