Re: mall massacre
Parents are just another scapegoat. Fact is, there's no real way to predict what triggers this kind of shit in people. There's a whole slew of situations that could have been different in a person's life that could lead to them committing horrible crimes to fellow humans. There's an equal amount of situations that could… -
Re: Model Viewer (Programming Pimp)
Rollin: I know what you mean, still can't make heads or tails of why it would be doing that. What are your system specs? cpu, graphics card & amount of vid memory, OS, amount of ram. I don't know how or why the uv's are being placed as 0's and 1's instead of proper values. I'll start digging a little more into the loading… -
Re: World Of Warfraft....
How much does it cost per month? I am bit reluctant to get the game for this monthly fee thing. I've played EVE online for a bit but in the end I thought the game's price plus the months that I paid the subscription all together made it a very expensive game. The should have an option where you can either pay for a month… -
Re: help with poly-reduction strategy - Japanese castle
You could bust up the model into pieces and let the occlusion culling take care of performance. 50,000 for an entire building such as that should be acceptable, in my opinion, as it should be the majority of your scene (by that I mean what the player is in at the time.) I suggest to bust it up into pieces, then LOD like… -
Re: Healthcare...
I do not understand this argument. It's a classic case of people's greed blinding them to the real costs. If everyone who works pays a percentage of their pay it will cost less for you than if everyone pays a fixed amount. This is because the percentage will favour anyone not earning large amounts. I doubt anyone here… -
Re: Does Baking remove the weird Shading of the weird faces.
Option A: holes are done via alpha mask if you need to keep the polycount low Option B: holes are done via geometry (like in your pic). The amount of polys is directly bound to the amount of roundness you want to achieve In any case the shading should probably not be an issue except you do something else wrong. How about… -
Re: Does chasing a career in gaming make anyone else feel like the industry is toxic?
This post isn't meant to disrespectful, it's just I honestly believe with the same amount of effort alot of artist and designers put into a gaming career they would already have starting careers in anything else. Like high school sports players have better chances of getting drafted to college teams with the same amount of… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
The above mentioned acceleration structures for those who are interested and not familiar with them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume_hierarchy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree Some of these could accelerate complex sphere traced scenes too, because you could reduce… -
Re: my characters and shit
It's looking good :) I definitely agree with dwgagner though, the cloth is too bunched up to be that tight to the body. Reducing the amount of folds will increase the realism (and lower the amount of time that you spend sculpting). It also helps to outline which materials are going to make up the object that you are… -
Re: Fighting Depression
Modern Antidepressant usually do one thing and one thing only: they increase the amount of active Serotonin available in the brain by blocking or slowing down the re-absorption of Serotonin. Serotonin is usually active for a certain time, then it gets cleaned out of the system. Antidepressants cheat the system by…
