Re: First MW2... and now? RAGE.
Or, to be less obtuse, if they don't release the server to the public they can greatly reduce the piracy of the multiplayer. It also lets them be more like an MMO or a Console title in terms of extra content, matchmaking, social network, etc. It also makes the developer more money (this is a business, people), and… -
How to fix UV distortion on low poly objects?
When working with low poly models I've found that they're prone to heavy distortion like in the image above, even though it's UV map is square and clean (IMO), simple objects like this distort heavily along where they're being triangulated. However when I subdivide the exact same model the UV map's distortion is fixed, I… -
Re: [MAYA] How can I reduce the ridiculous number of tris my hard surface models take up?
For models like this where there are a lot of overlap, there will be wasted space on the UVs whether you use floaters or not. My way will have hidden pixels on each board for each overlap. Splitting everything off will probably have more wasted pixels if you want your textures to have an appropriate amount of padding… -
Re: Is Sub D/Poly modeling dead?

Re: how much better is a cintiq/intuos than a bamboo
It depends who you use it. I like to map both my monitor on the whole wacom, I loose half of it in photoshop, but I don't use mouse anymore, the bamboo is just too small for that. A Cintiq is just awesome, unlike the price.... PROS of Cintiq = Is a cintiq, is ''real''. Cons: Is hard to find the good spot for sitting… -
Re: 3Daily - Felipe Sanin
@CrazyYuan Thanks for your suggestions and critique! I increased the roughness for the sugarcane and also decided to change the material for the metallic pieces, as you said, there wasn't enough contrast between the green and the metal. 21 So... I finally finished it. You can check the Marmoset scene in the Artstation… -
Re: Crappy Christmas for games...
For me call of duty ruins the end of the year for games. Everyone avoids releasing games near it like the plague as all people want is CoD on the trail to xmas and then all the good games end up coming out in the first quarter so they can get some good sales. It would have been madness to release little big planet 2 close… -

Coming from my own personal experience here would be pros and cons, but I'd love to hear from people who have had actual experience with both. Maya… -
Mod (editors) vs. Game Engine
