1) You shouldn't use a compressed format. Use a format like .tga which isn't compressed at all. The reason for this is that Source will compress images and compressing an already compressed image is just going to make things look bad. Feed it an uncompressed format and you have a better chance of it all working out. 2)…
'Fun' is a difficult abstract concept without a hard definition - you can no more define a process that makes a game fun than a process for painting a great work of art, so as such there's no guarantee. The best technique is simply to iterate on your mechanics through playing, disassembling what worked and what didn't,…
Big fan of that little tool you posted. I just diddled with it and found it fun and easy to use. I'm a major gym goer. I haven't been doing 5/3/1 or any sort of pyramid type training lately-I've been focusing on adding some pure size. I've noticed that, for me, 5x8 on the core lifts have been pretty fantastic while using a…
I would get rid of the palace and roots pieces completely. They have lots of issues that wont be solved unless you rebuild them almost completely, which isn't worth it. Get rid of the WIP page completely. Get a blog or tumblr and have a link to that somewhere on your portfolio if you want. You have a lot of text before…
@Memory - Unless the vendor I'm going with is way behind on their site, about the only thing I'm going to have trouble getting from them is the bolt carrier group. That being said, I can get even better ones (nickel bromide instead of chrome) from other sources if need be. I'm going with a 24" barrel and I've already…
This is not possible during a single launch of xNormal. xN use global settings for every bake process so I can't directly override that. So what you are asking is a way to launch xNormal twice for example, with different settings each time. I don't support that for the moment (and I'm not sure I will support it soon since…
I worked with unigraphics NX (now siemens PLE or so), it's fairly similar to solidworks, and the modelling features were just mind blowing (this was like 4 years ago). However as the previous people said, it comes down to planning your model in advance. So you better need to know what you want in the end, and then come up…
@t4paN - I neglected to answer the question about the fur. There is fur on his arms, though his bracers cover most of it up. And i did toy with hair on his abdomen/chest, but was having a hard time getting enough topology to get it looking halfway decent without subdividing a ridiculous number of times. @Microneezia &…
I had my pc die on me a few months ago. I guessed it was the mobo but it took a lot of messing around to make sure as I didn't have many spare parts to swap in. My best advice would be to start simple and gradually rebuild the system, attaching and testing the parts as you go. Like just the psu and mobo first, then add ram…
icelands economy melted. everyone in the country was out of work over night. the icelandic coin value dropped so low that it was closed for sale for weeks, and afaik, its still closed. try going to some financial website, and find a valuta calculator. people in iceland are fleeing to norway. here's an article.…
