Re: 3ds Max 2010 Is Here...
Thanks for the reply. Gave that video a watch. I've always been super impressed with ICE. GATOR seems insane. I'm interested what it takes to break it honestly. I wish I could see what's pushing it too far. Unfortunately other than adding edge loops along topology in a numerical manner (everything I do it very specific,… -
Re: UT level editing: lighting info?
I could have sworn I saw a detailed tutorial about how UT handles static vs. dynamic lights, with nice helpful images. Will try to dig it out. Not sure if this helps, but have you seen this thread? http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=168514 -
Re: New/updated portfolio site
Thanks for the encouragement to quickly answer some of the questions The roots were made by creating renderable splines for the large ones and modeling them out in a sculpt package although i didnt go very highpoly with them. I then applied some 16bit displacement maps I created to add the finer detail. The smaller roots… -
Re: how do you think Ashley Did this?
Well yeah Mop I did try the 'smart' technique : laying down nice overlapping scales on a square, extracting 16bit depth using MRGBZGrabber, applying that as displacement on nice relaxed UVs ... but for this one scenario, even with the added controls of the editable UV mapping ... it just didnt look that good.

Re: Woman gets owned on the Iphone!
Yeha had a good laff at that last night. They probably saved her $16k (minus the 800 she gave away) by denying her, since I doubt she could have sold them on eBay like she thought. There were more than enough phones available to meet the initial demand I think. -
Re: Laptop time (again)
Hawken: I did a quick price comparison between 2 of the notebooks listed here as well as the macbookpro - mostly out of curiosity, and partly because I'm thinking of getting one myself (I bought my gf one and love it, and would much rather have control over my windows install and what extras I put in). Here goes: (all… -
Re: new crysis screenshots.
I actually just finished writing a large lighting document on shadows in shadows and why you need ao on next gen unless you want to look like a chump and have floating objects and zero form. Baked lighting for the win! There's no reason you can't calculate PRT in real time to solve this problem in dx9, but then your frame… -

Re: Video card advice for 3D apps
[ QUOTE ] Actually the 7900 is pretty close in price to the 8600 seems like they go for like $115-160 on newegg these days, and the 8600 is in the 100-115 range. But honestly, $100 for a dx10 card? Not really what i'de consider all that crappy. [/ QUOTE ] i haven't checked prices to compare lately so i guess i am a bit…
