It's more like some guy you've never seen before storming into your office telling you to buy this and that vacuum cleaner. And these days companies hire people to pretend they're random people on the net and just giving an honest oppinion when in reality they're advertising a product. That's meant to make people think…
Hey Nick, The side facing up closest is totally flat, it's the normal map doing the work there. There's a drawback to it though, when it look at it from the side you can notice that it's flat, it's really just a balancing act of how many polys it's gonna cost to put in that bevel against just putting into the map. It…
I picked this up last night and been having a blast. Having played the holy hell out of the xbox version it is exciting to get a chance to play through as a noob again. So I think alot of the comments about being a not so great port are fair but honestly blown a little out of proportion. Some of my personal notes: -Yes it…
No problem! Salary for FX or Modeling/Texturing as far as I know common case is median $70,000 but my closest friends are hard workers as well (I grabbed this number from my own sample size, I didn't even look at Gnomon's or have official knowledge of that till now). Out of those that, weren't as focused, I really don't…
@metalliandy Thanks for a quick response! For now, here are the meshes I've used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zd93478qb3mhmpo/knald_test_01.fbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/5d0u8qbt9zz9zay/knald_test_05.fbx?dl=0 So, if I understand you correctly, "Mesh AO" mode in Knald 1.0 worked in a very similar way to the new "Baker"…
I was under the impression these names were given by the humans or communicated by the Traveller, tbh. I've been working through the story missions really slowly, so I'm not sure either and can only guess. The Hive is a Hive, so that's... easy to explain, but I mean... It's not like Bungie have a history of being super…
you need to get rid of all those layer styled fonts. The effects look bad to say the least, and the chosen fonts are not selected well either. That also applies for non text things using layer styles. Those things all gotta go. Less is more. 2 different fonts, 3 maximum, and they have to fit together. Use a nice sans…
@D-boy - No worries dude! I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject, but Cryengine has some great solutions to indoor light. Bare in mind that I only have a working knowledge of this stuff, so I may be VERY wrong.. :P TECHNICAL STUFF THAT MAY BE WRONG - Firstly alot of the ambient lighting is done using "vis areas" a…
It's disturbing how much is ignored by news media. Media has a long neglected responsibility to inform the population on the events of the world which has long since taken a back seat to biased information being presented as 100% fact. If it's not being mentioned constantly by popular media, we end up forgetting things…
That's not entirely the case though, I think. I've been playing games for many years (like many others) so I know the type of things that interest me and the type of things that don't. I always see people talking bad about pre-orders but I've never understood it. If I see content of a game and I enjoy it, what's wrong with…
