Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Maybe i'm anal retentive, or maybe this is a typo, but i always try to use an easily divisible # of sides for cylinders, like: 6 8 12 16 24 32 36 48 64 etc This really helps with LODS and such, with 22, your lod1 is 11 and your lod2 is 5.5... just doesn't work. However, with 24 your lod1 is 12, your lod2 is 6 and your lod4… -

Re: next gen gun polycount??
5-15k fpr a FPV weapon, depending on: Engine/Type of game, system spec required to play game Complexity of design and type of weapon How much screenspace it will take up For example, in a modern game, a basic pistol or small SMG may have a budget of about 5000 tris, and a heavy machinegun with a drum magazine, and a scope… -
Re: Kart racing game
renderhjs, cool ferrari. Boiling Oil, diggin the datsun. Could probably lose some polys. Mainly the strips at the center. I went a little low on my Mini's hood and window, I might end up increasing polies there at some point. It deffinately helps with the reflective cube map to have more polys. Here a re a few color… -
Re: UDK - Animating cut scene

Re: Opera..
Opera at Home, Firefox at work. Opera has the edge for me with mouse gestures, and no wierd 6 second delay when I try to save an image (Firefox locks up for about 6 seconds while it saves even the tiniest image for some reason). Both are better for me than IE merely because of the tabbed browsing. I fucking hate having a… -
Re: New Painting Tool. Colour Constructor!
I think I see what you mean - I indeed remember that the hexadecimal field in CC accepted more than 6 digits when I first tried it a while ago. I found out because I have the habit of holding "b" until the input field fills up with #bbbbbb in CS5 in order to get a medium grey, but in CC it did not stop at 6 digits and kept… -
Re: Gaming Jobs in the US

Luckily the first job i got out of school was graphics design and I did this for almost 5 years. They were able to tack that on to my relevant experience stack bringing it up to a… -
Re: Consoles Are the New Coin-Op
With handhelds it's much different. There are things in place on PC games to scale back as needed. When I build for a iOS device, I have to pick THIS AND ABOVE. Even though people still use 2nd and 1st gen devices, Apple locks down which ones can run what OS. You can buy an app that won't even run on your device (Droid or…
