Re: Texture Leveling
Nope, it's photoshop being wrong :) When 127/50% grey (in photoshop ) is gamma reversed it ends up being 0.217 in 0-1 space (AKA NOT 50% between 0 and 1 which is where it really matters, in linear space) When 186/73% grey (in photoshop) in gamma reversed, it ends up being 0.5 in 0-1/linear space. Gamma conversion is… -
Re: Castlevania Lords of Shadow Art Appreciation
MercurySteam definitely seems to have found some top tier environmental art talent. I hadn't heard of them before they got Castlevania. Though it seems they developed a few games before: American McGee presents: Scrapland (2004, 2005) (Windows PC, Xbox) Zombies (May 2006) (Nokia 6680, Nokia N70) Clive Barker's Jericho… -
Re: is SLI worth the mooolah
No, it's not. Most games aren't optimized for SLI yet, so you get only moderate frame rate boosts for the extra money you're spending. Instead of getting two 6600gts in SLI for example, you should get a 7900gt. Check out this page for an example: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/05/24/vga_charts_vi/page8.html Two 6800gts… -
Re: hate to gloat but.....
well the last time we won apart from the summer was in 2005. I was working on my first shipped title which was brian lara international cricket. It was good to ship the game on a wave of a victory - really helped the sales. I am not a huge sports fan, but england v australia is always a big deal. folks should n't take it… -
Re: Next Gen Creature Design for Gears of War: with James Hawkins
We need to drop the "next gen" thing now. . . it's not next anymore, it's here. The 360 came out in 2005, for fucks sake. The press is already talking about the real next gen, the one to come next, after this one. If we don't stop calling the current gen "next gen" then they'll have to come up with some new name for it,… -
Re: District 9
This has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it by chance in a bar some years ago. Very chuffed that Peter Jackson grabbed it by the balls and stuffed money into Neill Blomkamp. Can't wait! -- Half Life 2 was released on November 16, 2004. Alive in Joburg was released in released in 2005. Grav gun award goes to fat… -
Re: Blender baking problem
0.5 Blender unit is half a meter. I don't know how big in your scene the object really is, but I can clearly see the overshoots in the normal bake. You need to lower the ray distance. Blender doesn't suck at baking normal maps. You set the ray distance so high, that the wheel is picking up normal information from the well… -
Re: AMD Designing Next-Gen Playstation's GPU
Ikken, I think you're missing the point. When Gran Turismo 4 came out (March 2005), HDTVs were indeed already catching on - and PC hardware was already leaps and bounds ahead of the Ps2. When Valkyrie Profile 2 came out (September 2007), the Playstation 3 was already sat in millions of homes and people were rocking GeForce… -
Re: Sketchbook: SsSandu_C
I finished my entry for the Creature Planes challenge(Classic Monsters) on CGhub. I chose the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Zbrush Sculpt: I then went and made a low poly and made a normal map. with diffuse: The polycount is rather big for a model like this. It is around 13 000 tris. I didnt spend time on optimizing it.… -
Re: Poly-counts for A Racing Flag and Car wheel on Xbox 360 and PS3 HELP!!
A better way to find this kind of info is to use a search query like this in image search engines: "Project Gotham Racing 3" wireframe One of the links for that goes to: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2005/10/14/pgr3_poly_count_lie/1 And you can just look at the wireframes to get an idea of the model complexity. You…
