Re: Some workflow/nanite questions coming from UE4
POM is pretty expensive and prone to a lot of artefacting - personally i try to avoid it unless I'm not in a position to generate the mesh I actually need (damage decals are a great use case for POM) - Nanite has no bearing on this at all. There is a baseline cost to using Nanite and you need to be sure that your target… -
Re: PC Cookbook
I've been known to toss a little too much oil in the griddle... meh I'm using fake eggs, its a push. I probably don't use the whole 1/4 cup of pancake mix, I add it in by sight until it gets to a certain consistency but its close to a 1/4. If its just flour the whole 1/4 and maybe a little more goes in. Ooo gotta try that… -
Re: Clean bakes
This is a weird poll... I only say that because this has been covered alot in PnP and Gen Discussion on polycount. Here's an example of what I mean. Lots of the questions I see can be answered using the other boards/polycount wiki as a reference point :D 9/10 I find you will get a better baking method using a couple… -
Re: 3D Artist Portfolio - Critiques
Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm in the same boat as you. Modeling and bakes always turn out great. Texturing is the "needs to improve" aspect.

Re: [WIP] CE3 side alley sttrip club
Now this is starting to look sexy! The fog turned out looking sweet, fits perfectly with the rain actually. Been thinking about what else you can add, except for assets lying around. Maybe you can add some kind of halo particle effect to your spotlights. I did this really fast to showcase what I mean (in CE2 though).… -
Re: Ackes Environment Improvement thread
Thanks for the comment Chris! - I made a quick try at the floorboards and I think you're right! It helped making the scene feel bigger, which was much needed. I am however a bit scared of it looking too tiled. I made two variations, should I push it further or is the change noticeable enough? :) I think I'm leaning towards… -

[ QUOTE ] I dont think my profession has ever been the segue to a shag so HELL NO! [/ QUOTE ] You wanna work on your patter a bit then mate.

Re: Windows xp 64 or Vista for 3D apps?
I was just about to post to this forum with the exact same question! I'm making the jump to 64-bit and the only question has been Vista or XP... I'm leaning toward XP 64-bit. The biggest issue right now is I'm having a hard time finding it for sale online. I found this...…
