Re: Torchlight by Runic Games
"I'm curious, anyone have any idea what sort of textures will be supported for the torchlight editor? Do the torchlight game models use straight diffuse?" We save things off as .png then convert them to .dds Typical texture sizes for props,weapons are 64x64,128x256,256x256 if its a small item it gets a small texture. Most… -
Re: From blender to MAX or MAYA??
I'm in a similar situation. After spending a few years poking at 3D and not having much luck, I went back to blender after the 2.5 release (It cannot be over stated how much of an improvement 2.5 is over 2.4) and managed to make a dent in things. I can't shake the feeling that despite the success I've had using blender,… -
Re: A good starting point for low poly modelling?
I started on Maya, switched to Blender, now I have been using Max for the past 2 years. Maya is pretty easy to learn, although I feel a lot more... I don't know.... powerful? with Max. It just feels right to me, can't explain it really. But as Vig said, you'll probably only use about 5% of the program. I felt Maya had a… -
Re: Halo movie canned
I don't know what your smokin but halo has more than enough character and plot surrounding it to make a movie off of. There are books about halo, so id say there is a bit more there than doom. also unlike doom, halo has a rabid fan base, the 2.4 million copies sold on its release points out that. I see halo and i see lots… -
Re: Dad needs help with Christmas
If you cannot afford Photoshop, Jasc's Paint Shop Pro is a decent clone, and is just under $100 as I recall. As many others have stated, a Wacom Tablet is really a fantastic item. I don't know what I'd do without mine. Those are considerably more expensive however ( I got mine factory refurbished for around $230 from… -
Nowadays how high is a high poly mesh for baking maps?
Hello everyone! (It's my first post, so hope it isn't a trvial one and I'm in the right section) I've been looking at other posts about this topic; however, I'm still wondering really how much is it too much polys? For example, I've got a 23k tris base mesh and have subdivided until it eventually had 30mil points (in… -
Mudbox texture geomery-edge artifacts
I have no idea how to fix this problem, or if it is even possible. No matter how I paint it, be it with a soft or crisp brush, stencil, color or projections, these artefacts occur along the original geometry edges. Using different resolution for the paint layer or subdividing the geometry, also does nothing to help with… -
Emissive/Static Lighting B.S.
So I have a little light on my wall; it's a friendly little modest light consisting of only 236 triangles. It's glowing because the relevant emissive map that I have plugged into my emissive property slot of the material is multiplied by four and that's all good by me. But not actual light is being emitted when it should… -
Re: Random freezes/BSODs. No clue what's the cause.
Most of the time it's RAM mismatch or similar. Try to lower your RAM mhz, increase your cas latency, make sure your cas latency is compatible to all RAM modules you use. Use only identical RAM in your stack, use only single channel RAM(ie 1,2 or 3,4 slots instead of 1,3 or 2,4 dual channel, once I got a similar problem).… -
Re: TRUE TRANSFORMERS game ( possibly)
If anyone is interested, the website has a mini-game where you're rewarded with a couple of short clips and some concept art (Optimus Prime and Megatron (I think) are in the concept art): Just go to http://transformersgame.com/ and wait for the intro movie to get done playing - when you're on the screen with the destroyed…
