Re: [UE4] Decaying Corridor - Technical Environment Art -
Thanks! It's on the list of 'awesome stuff I could add', I'll get to work on it soon, stay posted for updates. Currently working on the performance issues, for a moment I feared it was my huge level blueprint that was clogging things. Luckily, the issues were all caused by the moveable lights, and the post process… -
Re: Zbrush 4- How much computer power?
Two things to check. 1) In the preferences under "mem" is the allocated memory which should be jacked up all the way to 3000 or morel. By default its on 256... I have no fucking clue why. 2) Also in preferences under "undo" is the undo history number which should be around 200-300. I think by default its set at 10,000 or… -
Re: How many instructions are to many?
Absolute basic instruction count for a solid color diffuse is in the 30-40 neighborhood. Also not all instructions are equal. An add is different than a square root. So its hard to say. However there are hard limits. 512 (I think) for SM3 (Direct x 7-9) 4096 for SM4 DX 10+ I just made up a shader with about 1200… -

PYTHON Highlevel intro to Python in Maya (cmds, Pymel, Openmaya 1.0 & 2.0)
Hello, Here is a video I made discussing the various types of Python available in Maya. And when to use which API. A lot of people still use cmds, and haven't discovered the advantages of Pymel yet. Hopefully this will help spreading the word. The official Autodesk intro is also great at comparing both of them. And I go… -
Re: Autodesk 3ds Max Maxscript: Convert Object Position To Proper Bytes For Hex
I see what you mean, you have a byte for the whole part of the number and a byte for the fractional part of the number. You have 256 steps in that fractional byte, so each step could represent that 1.0 / 255 = 0.0039215... increment of the fractional part, like you mentioned. In order to fit those two bytes into a two-byte… -
Re: Uncharted 4
Damn, so do most assets have about 2-3 materials blended together in the Madagascar level? I saw a talk with Jacob Norris and I think he said for the Scotland environments there were about 150-200 textures in that scene, how do you guys manage keeping performance in scope for something huge like madagascar? I also saw the… -
Re: Question about UV grid size in 3DSMax?
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
I'm wondering this as well. I'm pretty sure the decimal based grid size doesn't work in Max. Also, I've heard that the correct math isn't 1/256 it's actually 1/254 because Unreal uses a 1 pixel border around lightmaps for filtering which means you lose two pixels so you need to divide 1 by 2 less than your lightmap… -
Re: Backing up data, easier than ever
Breaking news: Crashplan is exiting the consumer market. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170822005727/en/Code42-Focus-Exclusively-Rapidly-Growing-Business-Enterprise Bummer. Now I need to find a replacement that covers all the things I liked about Crashplan, at an affordable price. * Unlimited backup size * Cloud +… -
Re: udk sizes/proportions confusion
Ok, so it seems like the reason to use powers of 2 is so that they can be easily combined with one another? This is understandable, but i'm confused as how to size things that don't have XYZ dimensions that are the ratio of say, 2:1:4 or something like that. Like if the concept calls for say, a doorway that is 200 units…
