Re: Butterfly Effect: A Unity 4 tech demo trailer
I really like the unity engine but I can not teach it as it does not come with stuff like shadows amoung other things unless you pay for it? And with 250 PCs we would need a lot of wonga. Here are a couple of articles on the project, anyone got anymore juicy news on the subject? I would Love to know how much this cost… -
Re: Upgrading Computer need feedback
Like r_fletch_r said, its a Solid State Harddrive. They're significantly faster then traditional hard drives (3.5 7200rpm = up to about 117mb/s read speed, current generation SSDs = up to about 550mb/s read speed). Its great being able to load up Photoshop in under 2 seconds, or Maya in under 8, and a lot of in-app stuff… -
Re: Save your eyes - Adjust brightness
250 cd/m^2 it's the ideal to don't hurt our eyes, and of course, a good contrast ratio. You don't need an expensive lacie calibrator. Just take a printed sample with the standard colors, and calibrate it with your eyes :) . Too many headaches are produced due to "invisible flickering", grab your camera and use it to look… -
Re: Zbrush vs Mudbox
quoting a post by teatime on the silo boards thread : http://www.silo3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7196 " Mudbox is 100% middleware. Thanks to simple apps like Nvidia Melody, people can develop normal mapped models without splashing out more cash. Even with Zbrush you can make a model from scratch, paint, and normal map… -
Re: Real ingame screens of mgs4
MGS4 looks good, but it shows the power of the ps3 very well, or the lack there of in the area of textures and polygons. They said at e3 that his hair was over 60k polys yet now you can see its more like 250 if even that. All the world textures are small as hell. I have yet to see something on the ps3 running in real time… -
Re: Hey anyone got any ideas?
I got my little brother a PS2 off of Ebay. It was having the dreaded disc-read-error, when we got it. Of course, that meant he got it for $120 with two good games. (back then it was still going for $250) When it arrived, it wouldn't play silver PS2 discs, or PS1 games. It only red the blue PS2 discs. I cracked it open, and… -
Re: ShaderFX 3.0 released
Thanks a lot for all of the encouragement guys! @Ballo: SSS requires shader model 3, so any Nvidia card that is 6800 or higher should handle it fine. Are you having trouble with it? We currently offer ShaderFX for free as a demo version. The demo version is limited to eight nodes - so you can use it to make shaders, just… -

Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
@poopipe all makes sense, thank you. Another question I was going to make a new post about, but it's related to this a bit. When making tiling textures like wood or a trim sheet, I've mostly always authored those at 2k because that works with my texel density which is often 512 or 1024 per meter for things Im working on.… -
Re: Maxscript XYZ to RGB vert colours - Accuracy Help?
What is exactly your goal ? Where do the XYZ values come from and why do you need the vertex color ? Does this thread help ? http://polycount.com/discussion/185330/struggling-to-bake-local-position-to-vertex-color-in-maxscript-mcp-for-blendshapes-in-unity https://github.com/apras/Unity-VertexTextureFetchAnimation Color is…
