Re: Distortion Map: Heat Haze???
Hey thanks for all the replies guys, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I figured it depended so much on the shader and engine that it would be difficult to find a straight answer. Basically my client has me focused on making guns and stuff, but every now and then has me do really technical stuff, and basically anything else… -
Re: Tips for tree limb textures

Re: Tim Langdell's latest game: Racers!
This is such a bizarre story; how the hell Langdell® manages to get away with this crap is unfathomable to me. That trailer is a complete rip-off from another game (the trailer originally released in 2007), Langdell just swapped out the original developer's logo with EDGE®.

Re: Saab JA-37 Viggen: I can't stop making aircraft aaaaaaaaaa
senakymcfox: thanks! I'm definitely getting better at doing these; this one only took four days, though to be fair it is less detailed than the Ka-27. ErichWK: If you mean the renders, I just use a basic 3 point light set up, and a phong material with a broad but weak specular (to emphasize the volumes), and I add an AO… -

Re: xnormal 4.0 features
@rollin: Yep, I'll add a "disable/freeze viewport" button. @ErichWK: You'll be able to define which meshes you want to use for baking. For example, when you press the "Render" button a dialog will appear. Then, you select which lowpoly meshes wanna use and the same for the highpoly meshes. For the AO a cast shadows/receive… -
Re: What are the hipoly source models worth?
ZacD, EricChadwick - thank you guys for answers. GCMP - Thank you very much. Freebie - That´s what I thought, I just wanted to hear that word from someone else. Do you think that any publisher might need source files as backup, because that´s what the client is telling me? To me it´s very silly excuse. Has it ever happened… -
Re: Poll: Top ten programmer excuses
Rick, must be Firefox, because the bars are all 0 or 1 regardless of percentage on my PC, running Firefox. It looks fine in Internet Explorer. edit: You win this time, Ericwick! *shakes fist* -
Re: Heath Ledger's last film - The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
