If the drive still powers on, you can always give this a try. http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html Never tried it myself. But putting PC components in the freezer, hey what could go wrong? Greevar, your forgetting that not only does it have to be the exact same model. It has…
It's true, id used to use LW but have switched over mainly to Modo for modelling. PhilNolan3d, I was using LW8 for a couple of years and I never found a way to do edge hardening/softening in Modeler - could you tell me where the tools for this are? I even asked a guy who had been using LW for ages, and he didn't think…
I render 100k sprites ( with different size, color and texture ) in xNormal to paint the stars... I bet a too-brutal method ( :D ) for modest hardware... but it's fast for modern hardware if you use geometry shaders and texture arrays. If you like the brute force point clouds see this too :P…
I have a lot to learn. So I'd better go do that. Edit: Just had a talk with a good friend who also posts here. I feel 10 times better now, and understand all these posts a lot better. I guess I have something to aim for before I'm done with school August 2006. Thanks a ton again people for beeing an unending source of…
> Can't make it this year. Going to the QuakeCon costs me about a thousand dollars a trip, and being the dirt poor son of a bitch that I am, I can only afford to go every other year. Since I had the privilege of attending the 'Con in 2006, I'll do everything I can to go next time around. So to all who can make it this…
Alright so I downloaded the .zip file from the website (http://www.anderslanglands.com/alshaders/downloads.html), which allows me to use a new material called 'alSurface'. But appearently there's supposed to be PRESETS that you can use on this new material (Example: MtoA 106 | Car Paint with alFlake | using Arnold with…
Hey All, This is a character i'm making for one of my uni classes. The model needs to be under 10 000 tris and we have the semester to model, texture, rig and animate the character. I'm new to the forum but i've been reading around and it seems that just about everybody has some fairly amazing talent and i'd love to hear…
Hey, seeing a lot of indie devs going for kickstarters to developp their game, I'm wondering if it woudn't simply be easier for them to fund their game via advertisement inside the game. I mean they do it in alot fo movies and shows ; plus seeing how that asian guy who made flappy bird could get up to 50 000$ by day just…
*Edit Here is the finished project: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQdOnK8lyWY"]Demon Warrior Model Showcase - YouTube[/ame] *old post Hi everyone! My first post here! I am at the process of converting my zbrush sculpt into game rez character, gonna try and maintain the polycount under 10 000. Here is the zbrush…
I remember SD4 being a free upgrade for those who bought SD3. I bought SD3 on some UDK sale with 75% discount and I got a free upgrade a year or so after that so I can't complain. With 100 000 dollar limit for indie version I think Allegorithmic is pretty generous with pricing. I think I'll downgrade to Indie version and…
