Re: Targa or png for unity
If you use SuperPNG with Photoshop you should be OK. Kio's right in that Photoshop's native handling of PNG is pretty damn rubbish. SuperPNG also supports 16bit PNG images, which is nice. http://www.fnordware.com/superpng/ -
Re: Custom Lighting with Anisotropic Specular?
Nice! I totally forgot about the Cross between the Normal Map and Aniso Direction. I have no idea what s_den is honestly...it adds about 9 extra instructions in my case and makes it darker for some reason. The only thing I'm worried about right now is how well something like this:… -
Re: For teaching purposes can you kindly donate any current gen assets?
Thanks for the love guys and understanding, there's some amazing resources from all of you so thank you! When the students get to see these products whether its a Drop ship, Batman Car, Aircraft Carrier and so they realize its a team effort and it becomes quite apparent that for many in this industry you have to learn to… -
Re: Gorgon Pistol
you could have saved quite a bit of geo on the recessions by just baking them in. Most will not show any change to the silhouette within any in-game view. 16k isn't too high but you want to optimize all you can. That said, bake looks good. And next time be sure to move the magazine so we can see the pistol unobstructed.… -
Re: I need some advice! Pursuing a career in 3d modeling!
This website is a great starting point. http://www.logicalincrements.com/ Some of the choices depend on what applications you are using and how much time you are spending baking/rendering. Also you'll want to favor more ram if possible. For $1000, I'd suggest 16GB. -
Re: Need advice for a use laptop please
Up that to $450-500 and you should be able to get a decent used laptop. If you want to run substance designer and painter $350 just isn't going to be enough. I'd say shoot for at least these specs: CPU: Quad Core at 2.6Ghz GPU: GTX 960M (equivalent to a desktop 750 ti) RAM: 8GB (hopefully expandable to 12 or 16GB) Screen:… -

Re: the THRONE ROOM -- Questions & Answers
This isn't really a question, but I realized that when I had uploaded the screen caps to blog spot it compressed them to 1600x900 I went back and replaced them with the correct sizes that I uploaded to imgur. This is from the "Captains Rule" We are the 3rd one down on page 3 of final submission. -
Re: Camera thread.
Right, most cameras that do not have in-body is(Canon, Nikon) tend to come with kit-lenses that have IS. And there are generally a lot of available lenses even lower end that have IS as well, like the basic 50-200mm-ish kit tele zooms. However, Nikon and Canon offer very very few IS prime lenses. With a Sony/Pentax system…
