Re: Polygons and Maps: In-Game vs CG
Yeah, I dislike the whole "Use realtime models for cutscenes/movies instead of prerender" because the quality is lower and you can easy spot it. One of my favorite things to with games, is to watch the cutscenes/movies, which are properly made (such as most of the ones by Blur/Blizzard). Back in the days I started to… -
Re: Space Vagabonds Assaulter - WIP (crits needed)
OrganizedChaos : I agree about colours. I`m not fussed atm, as I plan on doing the colours for the Realtime, then I will try and get the colours spot on. The Dag Node : Yea cloth is sculpted and brought into the Maya scene for render. Of course the other way is to bring all the rigid bits to ZB to sculpt the cloth, make… -
Re: Mudbox Materials
Hehe yeah :P On the other hand ... since Mudbox accepts CGFX since mud2009, I am wondering why theres not more 'real' realtime shaders available. Like Gooch, fresnel, and so on ... Most of these effects are doable through the default mud shader but still, something like a realtime convexity shader would be so awesome ...… -
Re: Flowlines
No way they can pull off that detail in realtime within the next year. I'm sure it's not even geometry based. Maybe in a few years, but the only realtime fluid systems i've seen dont account for detached liquid volumes, meaning it's more like a blob and soft body physics. And 3 cores or not, the xbox 360 is still slower… -
Re: Project Double Zero
Hey there Jason, Thanks for the suggestion. I was indeed being a bit sloppy with that fan so I will have to come back to that one later and fix that. As for Unity not having dynamic/realtime shadows... it does, if you have the Pro version (which I do). However, I'd like for the light in this scene to be mostly diffuse so I… -
Re: Advice for becoming an environment artist
Prop Artist = makes props Environment Artist = does everything involved in the creation of an environment (models/textures/materials/world building/lighting/etc). Lots of environment artists get their foot in the door as a prop artist, however. Learning to model, unwrap, bake, and texture is definitely the first step on… -
Re: sigh... crysis...
Ged, People can play this on dx9 with decent speed on 7900's and up. Why don't you take that 7% and add the amount of DX10 cards in XP, then add all dx9 7900's and up, then add all ATI equivilents and up. 20% of people can play it on high with current gen cards. The rest or a very large chunk could EASILY just be happy… -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMTq4xPvxfk Hey guys! Last week I was super inspired by the new release of UE5 early access and had to dive into the lighting tools, ever since I saw lumen when it was first announced I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. the promise of realtime GI looked so amazing. In this tutorial I show… -
Artist's refuge
a.k.a.: my desk. I'm starting a scene which will end up being my computer desk and setup, maybe a bit more of my room. I'm aiming for realtime, or realtime-in-a-year-or-2 specs. Am i far off? there'll be a dozen or 2 of these types of fairly lowpoly props (speaker box, cups, etc) and then the stuff like keyboard, screen… -
Re: Good offline renderer for visual novel?
Generally I'd not want to render lots of scenes in some external app where every little change to meshes and textures requires a re-import. And having to export animation and/or skinning data - that can turn into a whole load of trouble all by itself. Realtime rendering is fast for sure but you might want to have access to…
