Re: Nihao!
Odium, the polycount has nothing to do with the fact a model is dull or not, and honestly, the fact that quake4 handles shitloads of polygons doesn't mean you HAVE to use them all, quake4 mp already runs like shit online, if you put even more crap onscreen, that won't help the players at all (if any left). cheapy, the… -
Re: UV mappping Ued vs. Max
You can make max behave like unreal ed. for example... If you put a mesh select (or poly select)that has nothing selected between your model and your uvw map modifier, you can edit the model and maintain your boxmapping to the same scale automatically. I have a box with the box uvmap set up for each texel density (128,… -
Re: Sprite Rendering tool
What software are you using though? Does it render out animation frames as images? Getting isometric camera angles is easy enough. I agree that it's less automated but it works, plus you get a bit more flexibility with the lighting and render quality. Also, why not use SpriteForge Lite? "Spriteforge lite is a fully… -
Re: Wow, pretty amazing what the Crytek engine can do..
I played with the engine recently here are my thoughts(please forgive me if I amde any mistakes)> I think Cryengine`s main strength lies in the realistic lighting of huge open ended environements. It closely mimicks the physical world and its controls(there is a few) can be accessed through the Time of Day window… -
Re: Max vs Maya
Per, I actually have a script set to do 250 iterations of those settings, set to SHIFT+R, and just do it a few times if the first one doesn't relax right. That screenshot was just for demonstration purposes really I find that for some complex or troublesome parts (especially large terrain meshes with troublesome nooks and… -
Re: Max Rendering Help - Fit mesh to view

Re: PSP texturing...having a bit of a brain fart
i'd go for sharing stuff across larger textures. TBH it doesn't make a huge amount of difference at the end of the day, unless you're going really wacky with the colours. Remember that the chars you're talking about from the past were pretty varied, it sounds like your portfolio stuff will want to be more homogenous in… -
Re: Selling my workstation
Finally, some nerd talk, haha. A few things I should mention is the computer has been used by me alone for around 2 years (its the 2008 model). So its using the Quad core xeons that dont support hyperthreading or anything. I usually try and get a new system every 2 years if it will be fast enough to justify the price. Also… -
Re: Warhammer Online release on Sept 18
And now they are sold out again. Hmm... Amazing I got the order in when I did. I really hope it wasn't some mistake. :poly137: * Well here you go! http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=251 It amazes me the day I go looking to pre-order, I discover the sold out CE and then stumble across this. And I… -
Re: Downsizing an image. Best sampling method?
When I work on really low-res textures (256 down to 128 ), I use bilinear instead of bicubic; it's noticeably sharper and you don't lose as much detail.
