Re: Web Hosting Discount for Polycounters
I've also been using dreamhost for about a year and a half now. I signed on for a deal like the one Jesse set up, paid 10 dollars for the first year, and then when that year ran out it was around $120 for the second year. Figure 5 bucks a month for two years of service if you average the two. The service has been great,… -
Re: "Sandy Bridge" is out!
Ok, I did something stupid... Something stupid that might warrant an upgrade to SandyBridge however. In a true moment of idiocy, I sold my desktop (i7 920 based custom thing) and my 13" MacBook Pro, in favour of an i7 MacBook Pro 15 thinking I could 'streamline' my home work setup, and just use one system for work and play… -
Re: Fallout 3
I guess its spread over two or so weeks. not in 5 days... I am playing it alot, that's all I can really say. I said "80 odd hours" because that's what the save game's time counter said. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3 for those who don't care about spoilers or on their 2nd run through wishing to see everything this… -
Re: tf2 specs
That polycount you have is WAY off. I think that that might be the count for the high versions used in the "meet the" series. I've got the maya version of the heavy open here (without weapons), and he's only around 3700 tris. I'd aim for around 5000 polys or less for an in-game character. As prof 420 said, the shaders are… -
Re: Jester's Cap for Scout
Thanks. I was thinking that about the LODs as well. The major difference between the LOD_0 and 1 is that balls on the end are round in the LOD_0. I figured, if there is a problem with the total polygons, I'd use LOD_1 instead. That's also a major reason I don't have jingle bells instead of balls. They take more polygons to… -
Re: Photographing skies for sky domes
The Photomerge tool in Photoshop is great for normal panoramas, but it cannot stitch fully spherical panoramas. (This will be added in CS4). Don't even spend time on the mirror ball technique, it's a lot of work and the results are not very good. You are very limited by the resolution of your camera, so at best you'll get… -
Low poly cage for a high poly mesh - performance issues
This is a Maya related question, but if there's any major advantages/differences when performing this task on 3DS Max, I would love to hear about it. I apologize for not stating this in the topic. Well, I've been spending my hours at work reading up on the creation of normal maps and all things related to it, and I finally… -
PSU and video card problems. need help
I just bought a geforce 8800GTS and the requirements say that it needs a 400 watt power supply with a minimum of 26 amps on the +12 volt rail. Now, since they dont really even make PSU's (as far as I know) that have a single 12V plug with 26 amps, I assume they mean the amount of amps across all of the 12V plugs. I have… -

The art of landscaping in SpeedTree & GrowFX (botanically correct plant modeling)

A little about the scene : Over 120 different species of plants was specially built just for this this scene from scratch, which include moss, grass,…
