Re: random things that annoy you about video games
AI that doesn't know when to give up. AI that isn't intimidated by you. Not being able to climb up onto a ledge that clearly is possible given you are a super all round likeable guy. Bad endings that do not inspire. Knife combat that just involves slashing and weak sound effects. Inconsistency in the game world. (STALKER,… -
Re: LOD resources/information anyone?
As said it depends on the case you use it in, in my case it was an rts, and we reduced the characters as much as possible with the same texture applied but in the case he talks about, a unit beeing only a few pixels high it totally makes sense, as you'd just load one very tiny texture for a massive amount of characters. In… -
Re: Portfolio - big update
Tweaked it again: http://www.vitamin3d.com/newdesing6.html If it looks messed up you need to reload the page. Version from before: http://www.vitamin3d.com/designolder.jpg Also added a simple menu to the content pages, so you will be able to click through all the artwork if you like. First 3 are working currently. Menu… -
Re: Attaching meshes for animation
Well, first I'd make sure the game supports the funky bone rig you're using. I haven't tried loading multiple weights from different Skin mods together into a single mesh, but I don't think those tools will do that either. Probably your best bet is to simply save the weights for the mesh that took the longest to weight in… -
Re: 1859 army-iissued Magnum (WIP)
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Well, 2000 isn't really a lot for a first person weapon, assuming that's what this is. If you can free up enough triangles it'd be a good idea to model the holes in the cylinder that the bullets go into. If they're only normal mapped the reload is going to look a bit odd. You should be able to take quite a few loops out of… -
Re: Sketchbook: 8FtSpider
Wow, thanks for all of the encouraging words, dudes! I'm not sure exactly about animation. I would love to eventually put it in Unreal, and for that I think I need a skeletal system of some kind (or can I simply link the individual parts together? I really don't know). I use SketchUp at work and have gotten pretty adept at… -
Re: Unreal3 Normal Map compression fix
Unreal quarters every texture on package reload. So if you import a 2048 and then save the package and re-open it, you'll be seeing the 1024 mip of the texture and not the native 2048. What you want to do is force the texture to display the highest resolution mip level. In the generic browser, right-click the texture… -
Re: Polywaste
One thing I really hate when it comes to poly wasting is when people make guns for FPS games, but don't delete unseen faces. The worst is when the guy animating the guns is also modelling them. He knows exactly what parts will be seen, but still keeps them in. wtf! O_O I hate when they use a 20 sided cylinder for the… -
