Re: External hard drive questions
Format for FAT32 I believe. Windows likes formating in NTFS (which is read only on a Mac), and Mac likes formating in its own file format, which Windows doesn't recognize. The only problem you'll have with FAT32, is that if you constantly write to, and erase from the drive it will start to slow down (I've had mine 5 years,… -
Re: Geisha Girl
holy crap you guys are the best!! Thank you so much, I really dont know what to say. I really am a color/contrast wuss I'm about to throw it down :P. I think the problem was I only tried contrast in moderation... and that doesn't work there has to be contrast within every light and shadow and it wont look right until there… -
Re: concept tag: continued with particular violence
who do you think put your name in the topic--maybe the original poster/moderator? excellent shotgun, this is exactly the kind of deal that will be perfect for concept tag. i'm going to have fun with one of them... in the meantime you can browse for any other pieces in this thread to play with brome: shame on you for… -
Re: Animated Normal Maps
I've used looping animated normal maps in graphics demos, also in a serious-gaming app. We added support for the IFL format, a simple text file that lists the bitmaps sequentially. As mentioned they can eat up ram really quickly, so have to be used in moderation (small res, limited # frames). Water here uses a looping &… -
Learning to draw
Hey there, polycounters. The truth is, I SUCK AT DRAWING, yet im moderately capable on the 3d side of things. I really want to change this so im going to start drawing lots more. This first one is a concept of something I want to create in 3d. It's going to be called, train of thought (inspired by the dream theater album,… -
Re: Ubisoft's - Child of Light
Indeed, there definitely should be a challenge, but again: it must be in moderation. Too much of a challange and it is frustrating. Lile Diablo 3 Hell difficulty (before patches at least). It was nearly impossible to play. I want to have a good time, and dying all the time trying to kill 1 stupid pack of elite monsters is… -
Re: Bicycle Suggestions
hey sorry for the late answer - these links don't work for me for some reason. if you're talking about really deep potholes and hitting them at at least moderate speed, a suspension fork might make the difference between staying on the bike or kissing the tarmac and/or damaging your wheels. you should try cross bikes for a… -
Re: how deep into rigging I have to be to start learning animation?
Piggy backing off what @Hito said, If you want to make your own rigs but not have to delve into advanced techniques I cannot recommend Rapid Rig Modular enough. It has amazing built in features, if you can find a model online you can rig it up with Rapid Rig. Human, creature or even some basic/moderate machines. All of… -
Re: Need some help unwrapping
If you want the resolution to be moderately high, then What you need is tiling textures. I'm not sure what type of materials you intend to use on there, but, if it's nothing too advanced, then one tiling material for the wall, one for the roof, and one texture for other details could do the trick. Actually, I just… -
Re: Hello! I'm new
thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm fairly passionate about the art side of games but unfortunately do not have the skills needed for the 3D aspect of it. I do have some moderate background in 2D art, here is my blog for some examples "kightzeareau.wordpress.com". I think i really want to focus on character models…
