Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Hello! Been stalking polycount for a bit but decided to make an account specifically for this thread! I've been building a pc primarily for 3D Modeling, Animation and Texturing, right now I'm a student and about to graduate.. I typically work in 3DsMax, Maya, Mudbox Photoshop and Unreal though planning to work in Zbrush… -
Re: Can someone recommend a program to make destructible debris?
It would be nice to be able to key objects back and forth between dynamic and kinematic and they might be working on that. As for keying gravity, you can pick a gravity object and target the gravity force, which is fully keyable in every way. You can't key the global directional value in the MassFX panel, but that's for… -
Re: Collaborations and group fun
God i sound like a broken record, but guys, plan a friggin' mod. You've got 2 months till the release of possibly the most casual friendly/ powerful (relatively speaking for us non programmer guys) mod engine comes out (starcraft II's galaxy engine), so no programmer required, just someone with a decent gaming foundation… -
Re: EA Closes Mythic
I really like F2P, I play a lot of games that are both "balanced" and "unbalanced" although I rarely, if ever make a purchase if the game appears to be "unbalanced." I love the idea of having hundreds, if not thousands of new games to play without having to spend a penny, and many of them are also very fun. It encourages… -
Re: Stepping in the Game Artist World
Carefull about that. We had it too in our class and in the end I have to call it BS. Its an excellent practice for learning the skills for compositing, composition itself, lighting and all other stuff that trains the eye. BUT it doesn't fit all jobs and it can hut your application. There are enough tipps about how your… -
Re: Fixed Normal Map Bake Skewing
I have an alternative that both solves the skewing issue and works on all sides. It relies on having 2 lowpoly with matching uv and making use of an object/worldspace normalmap. For the sake of comparison we're going to look at bakes from 4 lowpoly and a highpoly with repeating details. A: Default B: Copy of your weighted… -
Re: AT&T's new datacaps
Ok, lets be realistic here. First off: A. Virtually every "unlimited" internet provided has caps, they just aren't apt to advertise them. If you're sucking a huge amount of data, your account will likely get limited. This varies, but 250gb isn't an uncommon cap even for "unlimited" service. B. Looking at actual legitimate… -
Re: 8th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks
I apologize for the length, it's just something that's been on my mind a lot lately...trust me I could write pages more :P But Yeah, I call it the day America went insane. Unfortunately, for those who believe war is the only road to peace, it was a confirmation of their beliefs and a vehicle to further inflate the military… -
Re: Getting a new PC
Just to throw this out there but have you looked at the Dell factory outlet or even Dell at all? I know most people hate Dell but to be honest with you I have had nothing but good results from them. I got a top of the line XPS 700 from them about 2 years ago and drop BIG $$$ on it but I had one of the best Direct X 9.0 PCs… -
Re: Help me improve as an artist!
Hey there, welcome to PC. Context, I'm not sure what kind of game these would go into, what engine you would use or how important these objects are to the overall game. Without that info its kind of hard to give a critique. Also make sure to count triangles not polys. The crate: - There is a lot of similarity in the…
