Re: Developer Diary - Fantasy Side Project
@Polygoblin We have some simple ideas so far. An overall premise and such. And a relatively high level starting "story" I guess. We have just enough to help us figure out the basics of the game idea and also enough to plan a little demo. It will have to expand later for sure but right now we are keeping things open enough… -
Re: Help, I'm an artist not making art!
I have a lot of respect for people who do technical art stuff in programming, rigging, vfx and animation. I usually enjoy modeling, sculpting, animation and rendering, making realistic materials and texturing. Rigging and complex simulations not so much. But I have realized that maybe practice is what I need to get a hang… -
Re: WIP Steampunk Cyborg
There are a lot of students starting projects lately, me being one of them but i dont think that's the problem. Also, no offense intended but when my teacher suggested this site to read and learn and get feedback, i did just that. I learnt from others feedback, then helped crit other people way before asking the community… -
Re: Photography tutorial for textures?
Texel density is what matters in the final product of course, but you rarely know your texel density while you're out taking reference, and you don't know your intended use either. There are a lot of clever things you can do with reference textures at varying scales, for instance building up different layers of surfaces,… -
Re: D3CRYPT3D 3D Encryption Software
Why does it only work with OBJ files? Your "how to use" page states that once decrypted it can be used like a normal obj in any application which makes it sound like its just extracting from an encrypted container? How do you ensure that the user is connected to the internet? Does it need to retrieve a key required to… -
Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
I hope this isn't derailing the thread, but im currently also in the process of putting together a component list for order next week. Its been about 5 years since i put a fresh PC together, and im finding myself rustyer than expected and crosseyed from shuffling this list around. I have a $1300au budget, which when i… -
Re: Beefcake laptop?
Isaiah: The real tradeoff when you get into the 15" class is the weight, 5.3lbs is quite a lot if its a laptop you intend to travel with, though not so much if you're just going to sit on the couch with it. 17s and higher are just totally impractical unless its a desktop replacement. The Razer Blade is about 4.2 lbs by… -
Re: PS3 Games for girls.
I'm going to assume she doesn't play alot of games, and wants to get into them at a relatively easy progression curve? Games which might fit (pun intended): The Lego Series (LOTR is the strongest one so far). Ratchet and Clank Journey Katamari Forever Trine series ICO and SOTC (although their controls may be lacking since… -
Re: WIP M5 Stuart Tank
yeah, Stuart forever :) 40k tricount is bit too high though, even for an fps ;) The mesh itself looks cool, but I think the 3d tracks eat big chunk of those tris. Usually tracks are made as polybands with tiled texture on them which scrolls when tank is moving. Modelling those track details in 3d is an overkill. Sometimes… -
Re: Hand Painted Textures - crit appreciated
wow- more response than I hoped for . Thanks! Shurkuris- too much advice for me to address everything at once, so: Replaced the roof texture and enlarged the mapping. Toned down the wood texture- the variation was on purpose. I wanted to create the appearance of overlapping levels of wood with some detail expressed with…
