Same thing for me, 3ds max tends to shake beyond the 1.5 million poly bar for everyone factory default, so more ram is your friend. And also notice that Mudbox files are sometimes 120 megs, which means that every bit is sealed on your HHD and not cloging your Virtual mem. have fun
You'll need Source SDK 2007 Base which is 10 meg, so no excuses based on how much of a pain in the arse re-downloading HL2 would be. It conveniently downloads automatically when you install the mod. Oh, and adding my support to the "you really should give this a shot" movement. It's about 2 hours of gameplay.
Jesse: You are THE MAN, man. I am definitely signing up for this. In comparison, my current host is charging me 150.00 per year for a lousy 100 megs of storage. FUCK THAT and sign me up to dreamhost. Thanks for doing this. I was just looking at their rates recently and thinking even the full L1 pricing was a good deal.
The reason I prefer to work at 2x rez is that my assets will not just go into the 360/PS3 build of the game at the resolution I author them at. The assets will be used in marketing, artbooks, and other non-game productions. The assets will be used in cutscenes. The assets will be used on the PC where you want to be able to…
My game is basically finished, I'm just waiting to get it sponsored and ported to Android using Adobe AIR (should be a very quick job, seeing as AIR is basically Flash). Here's a shot of the second track, I'll upload a couple of cars tomorrow. I'm pretty pleased that without the music the game is under 5 megs total :D
Just another quick update M3A1 Ready for Ingame (Normal & Spec Map, rigged for Physx controls) Turntables http://www.1944d-day.com/images/tanks/M3A1/turntables/M3a1.mov (15 megs) Images MG for ontop, with custom fitting ( you can mount it onto a tri pod, or simply rest it on another object your call)
Hey I did the same thing, 'cept I've been playing HL2 for the first time. Freakin' awesome. I really really really want to work on a game like that. Oh and I got an nVidia 5700LE with 256 megs. I don't know much about vid cards but it does a decent job on my sad old pc.
Hi there! Long-time lurker, first-time poster. :D Not much to show for the moment. Just put up my website with a few assets and I wanted to know what people thought of it. So here goes: http://meganhaley3d.weebly.com/ The images I have are quite large, so if you click on a thumbnail under the tab, you can see the full…
Nope...not in there....plu sthe fact I'm reylying on my copied CD I made for myself as a backup; now serving as my main CD since I don't have the original installer. I looked on the CD, & I can't still find the file. Curious though, how hard would it be to sned/downlad the file, which is less than a .meg big?
Just finished Chuck Palahniuk's "Nightmare" and "Stranger than fiction." Just started reading orwell's 1984. I know I'm a little late in reading that one, but better than never reading it at all. I am still awaiting the rerelease of Steve Alten's original "Meg" novel. Supposed to be additional chapters and some revisions.…
