Re: Railgun Sniper Rifle
@almighty_gir: Thanks for the feedback! So, here's what I had in mind for the scope: Basically the idea was that the telescopic scope would feed into a little projector thing that would project an image onto the "holographic" screen. The buttons could adjust zoom electronically, plus it could have a little HUD that showed… -
Re: Display aging
I have many LCD monitors of various sizes and I haven't noticed a visible aging on any of them, even the cheap ones or those I've bought new (first one in 2004). Some do have darker or lighter areas that are not very noticable. I'm not exactly sure what does this, if it's from the LCD itself or the backlight reflective… -
Re: What's a good PC rig for UV mapping?
That sounds like a great idea, but i think the best way to go would be to have it be a hardware thread. So PC builds at diffrent cost, recomended screens, and other things we use. Then have one for each year and have the first post get updated as new/better stuff comes out. Just a one stop place to see what the best build… -
Re: What texel ratio / pixel density should I use for a PS4 game ???
Yes I am. And about using only 4k textures, this is of course not possible, as Kwramm says I have to consider how many assets I have, how many textures, etc... And as it is an entire game... a lot in each level !!! so I can't just put 4k everywhere. That's why I quote The Order or Uncharted, the camera will basically be… -
Re: Radius Mech [DS]
That looks pretty sweet. Not sure how the DS handles rendering, but on a "normal" GPU it would be better to keep the UV map connected more, as every extra vertex on the UV map is an extra vertex that has to be rendered (See tech forum sticky). It is also generally adwisable to plan the UV map with the pixels in mind, if… -
Re: Weapon Shop Demo Reel Project
I guess I should clarify what I am going for here with these weapons. This is not for a game like Titan Quest, where the axe would take up, at most, 1/10 the screen if the player zoomed in. This is for a game like Oblivion or the likes where the axe could take up half the screen easily if the player is in first person… -
Re: Wii Games
Yes. I'm of course referring to the simple yet creative point and click games Nintendo is aiming for. The DS stylus and wiimote are similar. A good programmer could start a DS homebrew project now as a prototype for testing mechanics, using one or both screens, and later port it to the Wii. Turn the DS sideways and think… -
Re: Can it not be coded?
FicWill it doesnt need to be that slow its just the way you are approaching it Create a bitmap the size of the viewport get forward facing polys. get verts from forward faceing polys. do a intersect ray to each vertex, get the hit and compared the distances from the hit to the screen and the vert to the screen. if they are… -
Re: iD's official debut trailer for 'Rage'
spacemonkey, if you notice as soon as the game starts up on some of the demos there is this initial pop.i am assuming that the "mega" texture is mipping in some way. if you read the paper i linked to there are some clues into what is going here. only the area of the screen that is being drawn is being fetched from the… -
Re: More Cintiqs...time to bite the bullet
Hey Parsley, thanks for the voltage info, that's good to know! Casey from what I understand you would need one extra videocard to fully use the extra screen that the Cintiq is. But maybe it you can clone the display using some box... but then I assume you would have to run your second screen and your 12WX at the same rez -…
