Re: Rotating an object orientation towards the player in UDK.
Thought I would post this, will probably help a few people wanting to make a billboard effect with static meshes. Drawbacks: - Does not take objects current rotation into account, meaning any custom Z rotation would break the billboard and become out of sync with the camera. - Only rotates around the objects Z axis. -… -
Re: NXE
What I'm curious about (with netflix), is will they start offering downloads as quickly as Blockbuster offers the media? I have not had a netflix account before, mainly because every time I consider signing up, they change their pricing schemes and scare me off. Anyway, a coworker told me that the downloadable movies are… -
Re: Those who are self-taught, tricks to self-discipline? 1+ year and not satisfied with results.
First, join competitions. That'll give you a some structure to work with. An Artstation competition just started; go join that. Second, get people to hold you accountable. Doesn't have to be another artist, just tell one of your friends to shame you if you don't hit your deadlines. If that doesn't work, tell the friend… -
Re: Normal Map problems
The problem is the smoothing groups of the lowpoly mesh, they are taken into account when generating the nromalmaps. It's not a max problem and they wont fix it, it's just the way it works, in any app i'm afraid. Usuall workarounds are to either use proper smoothing groups (too high= bad results, if they look bad in a OGl… -

Re: How to get foot in the industry?
A good portfolio certainly helps, but it also matters where you apply, as in which country/city and if there are openings. Certain helps to network. I know several people with relatively junior portfolio's that have gotten junion positions on account of their friends being on the inside. I don't know if its really worth… -
Re: What exactly is the difference between photo textures and scans?
They're related but not quite the same when it comes to context. The guys above have it right. A scan is an analytical piece of data, the photo is the method in which to capture it. Technically speaking, photo textures can be considered scan data if the photographer had some defined real world values to compare against and… -

didn't see much griefing in l2, was in during closed beta and didn't play during open when the servers got slaughtered. it did happen a lot in mu online though, and cheating was rampant as well, speed hacks and account hacking through spyware filled speed hacks were common. once saw a griefer get their arse kicked by a gm… -
Re: Facebook, Twitter and the like..
I agree with you Lamont. See no reason. My ideas behind are a bit more complicated as it goes into self identity and privacy along with freely passing your information onto marketers. I'm not totally innocent since I have a Linked in account but at least that is focused on business versus this supposed "friends" atmosphere…
