Trust me that stuff is a total mess to do; the exploding is easy, but matching up low and high so they explode the same way is the hard part. It requires a lot of diligence from the artist to get the system to work even; match up splitting of objects for low and high, make sure naming is similar. That's like 75% of the…
It all depends on how long you want your system to last: with a decent motherboard, processor and ram it could last 10-15 years of being continuously battered, compared to a measly 5 years with most crappy consumer systems. Here's some hard facts that I've learned over the years from building systems. Good motherboard =…
Substance can do mixed renderer support because it's an extremely limited system and they've adopted a relatively new material framework called MDL that's designed for doing exactly that. They use a glsl Shader for realtime work and an equivalent iray Shader for the offline bit. This is exactly the same as using a pbr…
I'm not sure what kind of job you would be hired for.....It seems like the only work you've done is foliage systems, but there isn't a whole lot of detail on what you've actually done to achieve that. Also, I could be wrong, but it seems all the big games these days use speed tree, which pretty much does all that work for…
So Russia is no Bully, but if someone were to install a protective missile system hey it's ok to threaten them right? "They will just go down in a blink." Wow. Pretty bold statement. Don't think that really supports your case very well, usually the kindhearted loving countries try to avoid making death threats on smaller…
tbh, computer games should have a dongle like this for their authenticity checks. oh and dejawolf... there are several dongle based security systems which ARE crackable. so to say: "its protected by a dongle. and this just proves that dongles are UNBREAKABLE!!!!" is pretty stupid. steinbergs cubase used to have a dongle…
Update without any cool images. I liked Plasticity for its speed and for opening the last project on startup. Several seconds and you're ready to go. Backups were enabled in preferences too. What could go wrong? I'll tell you. It seems like after the second launch, Plasticity loads a file not from your project folder, but…
Hey guys, just wondering what you guys predict now that the holidays are pretty much here in regards to the availability of Wii systems. Specifically in the U.S., do you think there will be a Wii system shortage like in previous years? I have looked around a little and found articles that say both yes and no.…

ShantyTown Project Project Outline This shanty town project is something I have been wanting to do for quite sometime. Ever since I came across all this awesome references on CG Textures. However I had been working on my Masters in Project Management, so it was on hold for about a year and a half. But now with only two…
