Re: The BRAWL² Tournament Challenge!
TLDR; everything green will be added someway into the general theme and configure it for readability with the recently posted paragraph above. And it was helpful, i told ya i appreciated the formatting its much better than what i had since i.d.k. how to do all them text tricks and a new set of eyes on it was needed my… -
Re: 3DS Max Roadmap
Rather than retype my thoughts, I'll just leave this here https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2681712#Comment_2681712 TLDR: Max still has rock solid modeling tools and workflows, it falls apart when you consider it for animation. A modeling pipeline can usually support Max and Maya, but an animation pipeline can't… -
Re: Turing - mesh shaders
I wont pretend to understand everything I read in the short paper they've published but it looks like it'll be almost completely transparent to 90% of people on here. The TLDR seems to be 'more geo, more efficiently' It's pretty low level stuff so obviously the efficiency improvements would lead to us being allowed more… -
Guide: Baking for Maya inside Marmoset Toolbag 3
#tldr I wrote a guide, you have to read it :o So i have been writing this (not so) little guide for internal use only. But as there are only few written guides nowadays. And tons of videos which are kickass but hard to find the exact info you want.... I thought it might be good to make it public. I will update it together… -

watching Star Wars in the Machete Order
I know it's old but it's the first time I've heard of it and it seems like a great way to introduce a kid to the series without spoiling anything. The Star Wars Saga Suggested Viewing Order TLDR, have someone who's never seen the Star Wars movies watch them in this order: IV, V, II, III, VI. It's basically putting in… -
Re: multiple collision meshes
the TLDR is that I need simple player collision so you don't hung up on stuff but I still need to be able to shoot through small gaps in railings etc. I've done roughly what you describe - just wondering how other people have dealt with it and whether it'll start becoming a problem when a large map gets populated. I'm… -
Re: The Polycount Art Project (ATTENTION: Lurkers, Professionals and Students)
I don't think the idea is bad. I think it was a bad choice to air it in front of everyone in the way you did, Adam. If you are going to pick the dudes, then write them all an email and keep it gravy. I will also say I find the unlikelihood of a squad of dudes finishing a project in their free time as a collective in any… -
Re: Normalize (-1,1) in Designer ?
Looking through the spec suggests png can theoretically support signed values but I don't think I've ever seen it done and I'd be surprised if most exporters support it. you'd probably want to use tiff or exr (possibly .HDR) as a source format to store the numbers. it'd need compressing to a gpu friendly format that… -
Re: The Answer to Any Question Isn't Really Very Helpful
This whole thread seems to support the point that, longer, more considerate replies are in fact worthwhile. There's already been so much gold (and+ badges, I see you people) and we're only a single page in! I wonder if the OPs desire for quick, and to the point, is symptomatic of a more "TLDR" attitude towards traditional…
