Re: 3ds Max and Normal/Bump Maps
So in the file you sent me, the normal map is a JPG. That's bad. Don't use a lossy file format like JPG for normal maps, instead use PSD or TGA or TIF. Around the rivets in your normal map, the JPG format has added a bunch of noise. This is the fault of JPG compression. Another problem is the rivets are not strong enough… -
Re: Bombshell Logo - need crits
I've talked it over with the team and we came up with a name and a logo design, I took my first try at vector art using illustrator CS4. We will now call ourselves "Press to Jump" or "Pres _ to Jump" though the gap would not be filled, its best to avoid direct association with a console, when we intend to develop for many.… -
Re: Wi-fit: It kills you.
What about Electromagnetic Fields? They can cause headaches and even paranoia. Unshielded devices like electronics or electrical wiring can generate enough EMF to effect sensitive people. You might be sitting right next to a pretty big EMF generator right now (your PSU) and not even realize it. There might actually be… -
Re: is 12gb ram unnecessary?
lamont, you should put order there :) , because with those huge wires, you kill more the airflow (the vga is taking almost all the space). The majority of the psu wires can be placed behind the mobo, and you could have all perfectly organized. I suppose you must have a good cooler in the front, right? How many ºC have your… -
Re: dds previewer for photoshop?
Sorry for not being super helpful here but : Yup, I know for sure that it is possible (I have it enabled on the machine I am typing this with), but I have no idea where I got the functionality from :D I must have gotten it from one of these Windows shell extensions allowing for the thumbnail preview of many useful file… -
Re: Help with rigging cube-like shoulders/wrists?
The simplest solution if you want to keep the 'cube look' would be to break the mesh up into pieces, like Minecraft does for the shoulders (this was actually really common back in the early PS1 days. FF7 models are a good well known example). If you want actual deformation though, you're going to need it to twist all the… -
Re: game design class what do they really do in class ?

I did design for interactive media hons degree and game design modules for us consisted of concepting and creating entire game prototypes(art,design,programming all ourselves)...unfortunately the lecturer was very knowledgable in flash and director so thats what we got taught. I wanted to learn… -
Re: 'Ichiraku Ramen' WIP
hehe thanks Pangarang, The text is indeed a load of nonsense, as I mentioned earlier I just literally switched my input method to Katakana/Hiragana and just typed in a bunch of random letters. In all honesty I suppose it may add to the authenticity if I had genuine words / phrases on the posters, but I suppose what I was… -
Re: i need a new computer
I'd go for i7 920, it has an auto overclock and is 8 threaded. Something like a GeForce GTX 275 I wouldn't go too overboard on a graphics card because DX11 card are expensive and I'd wait until they are cheaper, and its kinda silly to get a really high end DX10.1 card Most cases would work, find something decent size with… -
Re: Can anyone recommend a good environment concept artist
http://www.pringleart.com/ I worked with the guy at DigitalExtremes, he made a ton of stuff for Dark sector, quite an awesome dude, very cool concepts to work from. about the watchmen game : fanboys shouldn' t be listened at, I was honestly surprised by such good graphics for an xbox live game (not that all XLA/PSN games…
