Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
As far as I know it depends on the engine. Some engines do create an atlas texture for their lightmaps, others don't. Also keep in mind depending on your lighting model. Dynamic lights can have huge overhead because they can add an extra draw call to whatever they interact with. So the drawcall cost in that case would be… -
Re: [Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Callum Faulkner
Reply by Arramil · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - AnimationI like the concept! Needle and thread as weapons is a neat idea for a character that small (maybe she can help out if Tibbers ever needs a fix). I'm a little confused by what exactly's going on in the ultimate attack - is she bouncing around enemy players? Or does the attack interact with terrain? The ending is a little… -
Re: Beyond
I always think of it like this. What if Alyx Vance from Half Life 2 was made using full body and motion scanning? A realistic looking character to interact with in real time. I'm not a fan of FMV's either. Games are just starting to figure out ways of telling stories within the medium, creating it's own visual language,… -
Re: What are your favorite video game features ?
Interactivity and emergent behaviour. There's no substitute and nothing like seeing a sequence of things you can toy with put together in a sequence that produces an unique result, intended by the developers or not. Whenever a feature gets thrown out in sequels like the ability to control the forks on the forklifts in GTA… -
Re: Survival games
I love this thread and these games, I constantly throw myself on them whenever the chance. Neo scavenger is a game I picked up at random when looking through early access games on steam, it's a turnbased hexagonal-tile survival game with lots of interaction/permutations and details in surviving. Lots of reactions to cold,… -
Re: 3D craft
if you have zbush you can "cheat" and paint rivets on with 3d meshinsert dot brush, adding halfspheres you've exported, then take your mesh back to your 3d prog. It works quite well if you do it towards the end of the modelling process, and I find ZB brushes more interactive than other 3d apps. But your mileage may vary… -
Re: Making Friends
it doesn't really work that way though. You become friends through interactions with others, not by putting your contact up on the page and saying 'add me'. If you have a good personality, people will add you or you should try adding people. If there's people that you constantly joke with on here then you should add them… -
Re: Possible Collab? Evolution!
I could imagine a life simulation kind of game where you explore a crayon environment and watch these creatures interact with eachother. Maybe you could even play as one of the animals, and hunt others down for survival. OR, here's an idea: What if each level was you playing as a different animal trying to survive the… -
Re: HLSL Shader Model 4 Editor
i think you can just replace those "<=" comparisons with "<=". as that documentation page reveals, that's an assembly instruction, and your code isn't assembly so it's sort of useless anyway. what i think has happened is that your code was posted on a website that processes plaintext in a way to make it not interfere with… -
Re: Carnifex Tyranid [WIP]
yea, dynamesh fuses touching objects by default and I'm not sure if there is an option to make it not do that. One easy way to solve your problem is to separate the two objects into separate subtools then dynamesh will only interact with the one subtool. This is the setup you will want anyway, makeing all your different…
