The one level with no lighting sucks, theres one redeeming quality to it: the lightning, which looks really coooool, except the normals maps they're using there suck too, so whenever something gets dynamically lit it just loosk really fake. and WTF is up with that ugly detail noise texture? wow its like everything in the…
Do you know if either of these two have these functions I list below? I was told that this is what I need (sorry, should've posted that first): Does it allow for saving as 256 colour images? Note: if a package says it can save "web safe files" or *.gif files, then it can do this. Can the package save PCX and BMP files?…
As promised, here is a little plane I made my first semester at Digipen (October 0f 2003). Good things? Bad things? Open to criticism. I textured it with two different maps. I now realize I could have made them on 256, opps. Ignore the cheesy background map! They are not great, I know, but I am still learning. Not to…
Vertex color could improve this a little :) It should also save some texture space. From what I know the DS can handle 512x512 textures but most of the time you won't need more then 256x256 (and this just for backgrounds and maybe characters) because the screen resolution is smaller then 512 :) DS also has less colors then…
Just finished my Ect-OH goggles. I'm not going to have time to put it in engine...thought i'd throw it up here. There is a grey version and a green. It does fit the medic face but it looks cooler on the forehead. The texture is very simple, it's really all about the ao. Poly count is slightly over at 820 and 256 texture.…
7 years ago. Hmmm.. I would have just graduated from High School. The closest thing to modding I was doing was making Doom maps and replacement textures and sprites. Made some Zelda themed stuff, as well as Mega Man, junk. Nothing of that time has survived other than 3 star wars themed textures made for the original Quake.…
I might speculate that one of the main reasons the art has changed and moved in a more colourful direction is that they're not stuck with 256 colour tile sets any more. Have you looked at diablo 2 lately? Its nicely done working with the limitations of the tile engine tile based environment, but its not exactly pretty, or…
Please, excuse the Hi-jack here, but have any of you guys used gba roms? I just discovered the use of a flash card and usb cable and how easy it is to load several free gba games onto one temp. flash card for gameplay. And they run somewhere from 59.00 (256) to 94.00 (512) us dollars. Of course that is assuming any of the…
1) the cards are downward compatible, it's unlikely that you benefit from PCIEx3 unless you do heavy video editing, or are into oil & gas bizness ;) 2) the watts it outputs is printed on it, or you look up the name of it and find specs online. 450-500 should be okay, depends on how much stuff you have in your PC. CPU is…
@vikk0: There seems to be a little bit of 'distortion' (for lack of a better term) near the end of the sword that isn't in the concept. There are some other differences, but I imagine that they are your own take on how the shapes should be/preparing for easier retopology. Regardless, it is looking great and I'm sure you…
