I've been on the periphery of the gaming production space for more years then I'd care to remember, as a core gamer. Picked up my first game from the corner store in 1977, Atari's version PONG and subsequently recalling those halcyon days of my youth, throwing away an obscene magnitude of time playing the thing. Sat in…
If you want to use normal maps in your terrain shader, then you'll probably have to make a custom shader (that's where Strumpy comes in). Nosslak mentioned Toms Terrain Tools in your other thread (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1909083&postcount=7) but when I looked at the manual, it seems that doesn't…
This thread comes to mind, maybe helpful? http://polycount.com/discussion/108145/assassin-creed-iii-deep-snow-tech Maybe doing some research into development of indie game "Spintires" could help as well, nobody does mud like they do. (Didn't find any good info during the 5 minutes I just spent, though) EDIT: This:…

Will you go for hipoly only or go for game format?
I actually somehow doubt that "kids learn faster". For instance, a kid being able to operate an ipad doesn't mean that he/she is "smarter" or a "faster learner" than the average adult person that is afraid of the device to begin with - it just means that the OS has been designed in a very, very clever way with great error…
