Re: Draw Calls and batching
Most modern game engine should support instancing. In this case you have one copy of the model on the video cards and just a list of position etc. to place the same model all over the place. In fact one drawcall without any memory limitations. Sharing materials and textures is important. Most engines will process meshes in… -
Re: I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Feels to me like there's too much ambient light in there. The lights themselves could all use some softening. If you're going for an "aged" feeling as in the era that you would naturally have a study like this (think of the time from the late 1800's ala "the time machine"). In that case, the lights would be all gas and… -
Re: Making the Perfect 3D Tutorial Site
http://www.scriptspot.com/search/apachesolr_search/uvw They definitely have more clutter than they used to, and two-above-the-fold kinda sucks. but when you do scroll down to the entries, you can fit like 8-9 on screen at once, which is better than 3-4. It doesn't seem to me that the entries are verbose, just that there is… -
Re: Japanese anime/music
Music: GACKT!! My absolute favourite musician. I love his stuff. :) L'arc~en~ciel are really awesome as well as Hyde's solo stuff. Dir en Grey has a lot of good songs and a lot of WTF stuff. Do As Infinity The Pillows Anime: ALL of these are UNCUT Japanese. Most English subs/translations are utter trash even with good… -
Re: Siggraph
I was there. =) Pixologic had some great workflows to show off. A lot of my associates end up either doing art or start working for pixologic, so its usually a good time to see them as well. While not the biggest fan of Autodesk's business model, they still managed to impress with the new features/improvements they keep… -
Re: Red Reaper character WIP first organic character
Thanks for the advice of how it is better to do it but sadly can't follow it because i'm not in charge of the pipeline I have to follow. Its a class project so we can't sculpt first and retopo, We have to box model and make base mesh from the supplied orthograph and then modify it into our own. This person that I am trying… -
Re: Democratic or Republican
Offshore Drilling : We only have about 3 percent of the worlds oil reserves (I'm not including oil shale). If we drill more here in the US the oil won't stay here it will go onto the world market because we don't have a nationalized oil industry ala Venezuela. So the argument is that we produce more oil put in on the world… -
Re: PS3 $100 bucks cheaper
Johny, I have no freakin clue what you just tried to communicate, but I'll attempt to decipher it. What I mean by "they want happy customers" is that a company is not going to go out of it's way to do something that will hurt the consumer (which is what "screwing" them implies). In fact, a company with a long term business… -
Re: Lost: Season 2.... O M G!
Damn.. I have to thank all of you.. After reading the first few posts of this thread a few weeks ago, I had a bit of an interest in the show.. ( I have to admit I knew absolutely ZERO about it before hand) then one of the other guys I work with was talking about it and he let a few freaky plot twist slip, and I was really… -
Re: X-Men: The Last Stand
I started reading Uncanny X-Men with issue 224, which I think was the fall of 1987. While Marc Silvestri was drawing the comic then, the franchise didn't get the 'Image' treatment until Jim Lee took over two years later. Longshot and Dazzler were permanently booted, Psylocke became a Japanese bimbo, the totally…
