Re: Should I buy a Cintiq?
You know what Justin, ordering through that reseller sounds slike a good move to me. I ordered mine straight from Wacom last month, turned out the display had a dead/stuck/whatever pixel right on the average work area. But it was not dead enough (!) for the device to be considered faulty by the almighty Wacom jury; you… -
Re: The Polycount UT3 Pack Thread
well, I did it kind of dumb :-( (and I really REALLY need to change my account name ... I haven't been called animeboy since highschool :-| ) I just declared my pieces all as the same mesh. So my head, my, boots, my arms, ect are all the same piece of geometry. The problem to doing this, is you have like ... 8 instances of… -
Re: Career Advice: Art or Management?
I'd rather push pixels and polys than schedules and spreadsheets... As a former manger of 25 people and a current lead, I have all the management I can stomach. It would have to be a hefty raise to get me back to manage a small army of prima donnas and I probably wouldn't stick around long. Don't get me wrong I love my… -
Re: Project Aftershock - Indie Multiplayer Co op Sci Fi Racing Game
My thoughts: Too bland - There is nothing, no effects, no impacts, nothing to give you a sense of speed. Try having some DOF, or try bluring around the edges of the screen more the faster you go. Try adding some kind of effect to the bottom or at the very least, the back, that changes depending on your speed. When you hit… -
Re: Thompson M1A1 - Subdivision question
If you're rendering in V-Ray then why not just chamfer the edges you need to chamfer? add a couple of edges to the fillet rather than the default and you'll get a nice rounded edge. It causes some nasty geo IF YOU WERE GOING TO SUBDIVIDE, but you're not, so who gives a fuck? One of the big reasons for the sub-d push for… -
Re: A good starting point for low poly modelling?
Thanks again. Oh, and I wasn't talking about real time lighting effects, I know that isn't an option. Even basic lighting effects, you're talking about halving your framerate at best. More advanced lighting effects you'd be talking about being left with say a quarter of your unlit polygon budget. Even Pixel Bender,… -
Re: nORMALS ZBRUSH TO mAX
I don't know about Zbrush's normal mapping tools, but to do it in xNormal, you'd need to redo the UVs so that everything that needs to be projected is in the first quadrant. For the mirrored or repeated parts (anything that's going to overlap and use the same pixels), you'd want to offset the overlapping parts outside of… -
Re: Texture source question
if you can read german there is a case called "marions kochbuch" http://www.heise.de/ct/07/14/080/ http://www.tutsi.de/marions-kochbuch-wieder-abmahnungen-fuer-tolle-fotos/2008/09/12/tutsi-blog-aktuell/ http://www.blogtotal.de/netzwelt/180-euro-fuer-eine-schuessel-reis/ it basicly is a website about recipes with some good… -
Re: Prop Tri Count question: UDK project
yea unless you are getting this like directly filling the camera like literally 90-100% screen space you dont need the little feet or any detail on the bottom really.If its for a puzzle where you click to dial and the camera is right up on it I would go way higher poly (3-5K), right now its kinda in the middle zone. most… -
Re: Transfomers Starscream
One thing that really screamed at me (get it?) was when taking a look at it in the fighter mode. Take a look at the part that would be the back of his lower leg. The faked lighting on it is a bit harsh, and really stands out to me. I think you could also fade out some of the panel lines. It'd probably read better if you…
