Cool, thanks for the breakdown. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it out more thoroughly. I definitely "get it" now, which I obviously didn't before. Pardon my ignorance! I'll mess around with it a bit more. I also wanted to show off really quickly some results I've got from making some minor adjustments. I…
I didn't notice the extra mesh slot button! Thank you very much. I have actually made my own work around before you told me about this. I made a single mesh using all of the meshes together but at random angles and rotations which actually helped improve the look of the particle as well as reducing drawcalls by 5 in my…
After working on this scene for the better part of 10 months, I think its time to bring this project to a close. I'll be updating this thread daily with the screenshot progress until the end of the month. Whatever it looks like then is what will stand. Hopefully by the end of this i can chronicle the massive effort it took…
Ok, so last time I said that I said the time before that this building was finished. I lied. What can I say, I'm a perfectionist. Today I designed quite a few custom decals to go with this building (as well as future buildings). I also modeled 3 sets of crumbled plaster sections that have fallen off of the walls, which are…
GT5 has no particles in splitscreen. (and therefore no ss rain or snow races) It's a fickle thing. You're using more cameras, but still rendering the same amount of pixels. You can ease off the anti-aliasing just a bit because both will be smaller, but you're still rendering a bunch of things twice. motion blur can go,…
Aye Zac has a nice breakdown of the popular hosts, a few new ones for me aswell. I occasionally get stick from using referral links even though it benefits the person just as much so i stick the vanilla in nowadays ;'). I've been using holeinthewall for the last 3 years now, managed to get my previous inhouse web studio to…
Indeed. I was pretty hard up for options on making the ammo feed for multiple reasons, the biggest one being the "divide by zero" logic of the mech's original design. The thing is all cockpit, and the idea of trying to fit a nuclear fission engine plus 120 missiles with an ammunition explosion safeguard plus all of the…
A guaranteed minimum spend of £550 between 30 people is nearly £20 per head. I wouldn't take that deal, tbh, as it's hard to know how many people will actually be there (15? 40? who knows?). Hopefully you can talk them out of it. Maybe try the Loading Bar in Dalston? They have a basement room that can accommodate a group…
That's a strange argument... You're talking about a person who you know to spend $60 on a game. But compare the target market of people who are willing to spend $60 on a game. Now compare that to a target market of people who are willing to spend $30 on a game. Seems obvious to me that the $30 market is a hell of a lot…
Ha Anyways, one judging system that is used with a LOT of success is simply what is being used over at 11secondclub.com and hotornot.com (I sound like a broken record about this). Each piece is judged on a score from 1-10. The averaged score is the order they are placed in. This way any singular anomalies in judging are…
