Re: Anyone still using 3dsmax 2009?
Those posts are pretty obsolete and almost were back then right from the start... I brought the earthquake zbrush model into MAx 2009 and Max 2016 on the same machine ( GTX780/6 GB, i7-4930K 6 -core/32GB Ram ) . This lead to an 945MB file, about 6.5 mio polys, split into 8 seperate objects. Pure viewport performance in Max… -
Re: Popularity of Game Engines: What happened to CryEngine?
Cos i have no idea whether crytek are in money trouble, or working on anything, and engine wise a lot of it is available from a company that are totally stable. I don't really even know what happened to Crytek over the last few years but it doesnt inspire trust. Beyond that, AAA don't seem to go with it, and as such it… -
Re: General steps for procedural environment
Well you must conduct an analysis of objects/feature/material placements along boundaries/areas. With that analysis you describe your scene from general concepts to details by specifying the parameter you need and their range (how small/big the hangar can be). Then you define how parameters interact with each other (for… -
Re: Physic Asset Collision Detection
Physics assets are for ragdolls primarily, and also for shadowcasting, and for other physical interactions like cloth and clothing and foliage, stuff thats actually physically simulated. I think they may actually be used for collision detection, its just a second level of it. The initial collision event that is registering… -
Re: Game Art School. Need help choosing!
Something else that few people have mentioned is making contacts at a school. Sure if you don't go to a "game school" you can still make a name for yourself via places like CGHUB, here at Polycount and other online forums. However there are talented people at each school no doubt who push themselves above their work, and… -

Re: Need software suggestions
I have been having a good experience using the MSI Afterburner Betas' Video Capture feature. ( that does not require ogl or dx just a free no frills video capure with no watermark ) If I didn't need FRAPS for capturing 3d I would never use it again. I have a fairly beefy system but I am still assuming the good performance… -
Re: Avengers.
My studio took us all out to see it today because it just came out in Canada. I guess I really liked it. I am not sure what to think. I really didn't like Hawkeye, loki and Nick Fury. I didn't think the plot had any meat to it, it didn't make me think at all. Stuff just happened in predictable sequence. The character… -
Re: Need Mentor help and advice for School assistance
As for specifics, I've got a fairly basic knowledge mostly learned from my college classes from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh online division, and from youtube tutorials. I'm currently getting more practice with Maya using Maya LT, what I can currently afford, but it's my understanding that it's basically Maya with out… -
Re: Need help with perspective
If you take the horizon line which is currently crotch level for the guys standing and most of the scene, and check to where that is flush on the girl you'll notice their crotches are all about the same level. Now if you take the bookshelf behind the girl and notice that the one edge furthest away from her going into…
