Re: Maya 2009 crashing when trying to "average normals" on high poly mesh...
Average Normals will do just what it says... it will try to average all the vertex normals within a certain tolerance (like if one is close to the direction of another, it'll average their directions so they both point the same way). Most of the time it's not what you want, it's only useful in certain specific cases (like… -
Re: Neotokyo
It just a discussion based around the strangness of naming something based on its origins and not its goals, it isnt a flame war so whats the harm in it? Ok smarty pants that thinks that he is better than everyone, what is so obvious about it? You didnt rebutt any of my points with logical answers, with one of your… -
Re: Help Me Decide Which Game to Buy...
I'd say Gears 2, and Left 4 Dead. I usually find that Multiplayer type games have a huge spike in player at launch, and everyone is of similar skill level. Then after a few months you'll be playing against the crazy Ubar-L337 who are rolling/turning/jumping while executing a perfect headshot 99% of the time, and have all… -
Re: GP2X: No need for PSP homebrew
I own a GP32, and it varies from emulator to emulator. There is for exampe a Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator that runs fullspeed on nearly all games with perfect sound and is compatible to about 95-99% of all roms. In other words it is perfect Snes on the other hand runs ok on the GP32 but it is a lot less perfect, but… -
Re: Good news for Pandora?
This is a win because now Pandora can continue to exist. The 2007 ruling imposed exorbitant fees on internet broadcasters, to the point where the licensing fees they would have had to pay would be way more money than they could possibly hope to make. They (and other internet radio sites) have been fighting the board's… -
UTMC - EpicMegaMall
For this one I was looking at a lot of the skyscraper maps in past UTs and I was trying to come up with a theme that they likely would have done back in 99 if they had the right tech. A mall would be a perfect way to ground the this game and and give people a setting entry point. I found when I was younger I really enjoyed… -

Wacom releases new Bamboo line!
for the budget constrained, great tablet options you have! http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Bamboo/BambooTablets.aspx I have the old Bamboo Pen and Touch (now replaced by an Intuos4 L), and apart from the size not fitting the way I work (hence the L :P), I found it a very very good tablet to use. Dont let the pressure… -
Re: Help remind me how to set up smaller maps similar to micro detail maps
It's a 128*128 texture, and its design doesn't seem to correspond to anything related to the mapping of the body. Past such a low resolution threshold, masking would be better off done per-polygon rather than per-pixel. It also looks great when applied as an environment map, without showing too much detail in the… -
Re: I want to quit 3d because I can't bake models properly.
All of the above thread is incredibly sound advice. One thing to add based on this quote, while you are still figuring out the main pipeline of 3D please ignore this fear mongering about draw calls that so often gets blown out of proportion. 99% of the time in a non-production environment you will not need to worry about…
