That was a great read. I appreciate the link. But it rendered more questions than clarity for me :p . Is it a hard fast rule that conductors Diff/Spec correspond more or less in Hue? Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, But for the most part, is this how it goes? right now i have a red/brownish diff with a…
Hmm yea with 200 odd characters walking around I'd be suprised if it didn't slow down a lot tbh. It's going to use up a lot of CPU/GPU time just to do the scene update with that much stuff going on because every time you alter the current time every node downstream of an animCurve in the DG needs to be calculated again. I…
I used to get those all the time as a kid/teen, lasted 3-4 days at a time. Doctors had no idea what triggered them and no idea how to stop them - most painkillers had little effect (later I found ibuprofen manages to dull it a little where aspirin and paracetamol failed, but I didn't have access to that as a kid). Same…
The "blue collar" work can be difficult to come by depending on your area you live in. Why would say a fast food place hire a teenager/student/recent grad and know that the person is just going to leave when they find a real job, when they can hire an adult who they know will stay in that position. Your typical…
This looks lovely. the city is just damn impressive. Lighting really kicks. What really pisses me of is the reaction by some people on common game forums. While a few people really appreciate the look and quality of the game I've seen quite a few comments who really brag about quality here. And they don't mean animation or…
I'll get into some depth with my critique for the gun's texture; - You went a bit nutso with the edge generator for the rust. Every edge is rusty and it takes away from me being able to believe its a real object. If I use a generator like this, I usually throw the layer into a folder, add a white mask onto the folder, and…
Because 1911 are so customizable, the designs can vary hugely. 1. As for your slide serrations, I made a gun a while back with some slide serrations and had a lot of trouble with the modeling aspect because the cage wasn't perfectly aligned. Test out your normals on just the slide and see what kind of results you get but…
Hi there :) Besides the survey, I would strongly recommend you (and your fellow researchers !) to purchase a few Gnomon DVDs covering 3D modeling. They are recordings with a narrated voiceover, showing artists creating 3D assets just like they would in production. This one is excellent :…
Way to put words into my mouth. But you're right. Lets all just be polycount and not even look into the reason WHY the company issued lay offs. Lets all be sitting ducks and let the industry throw us around. Ok. My post was never meant to offend, and it was not a wise ass comment. Rift was a great game, yes, I enjoyed it…
Thanks for the comments everyone! I appreciate it! :) @FractaL: Thanks! Yeah, I'm playing around with a few different ideas for the foreground. Will post updates soon. :) The things sticking out of the ground are old spaceships that landed hundreds of years ago, and while landed they work as beacons or pylons of sorts.…
