Re: Different Materials for Alpha, Transparency, Emission
The asset was likely done this way because see-through elements (glass) used a different shader with higher cost than the opaque parts of the asset. This way, in a higher LOD of the asset the expensive glass material instance could be swapped out with a cheaper one. You can probably learn some more about it the… -
Re: File Format Compressing Faces?
yep alternating.... my mxs code faceindices = for f = 1 to nindices collect ( 1 + ReadShort bstream unsigned; ) faces = for f = 1 to faceindices.count - 2 collect ( face = [0,0,0]; face.x = faceindices[f+2]; face.y = faceindices[f+1]; face.z = faceindices[f]; if mod f 2 == 0 then swap face.x face.y face ) -
Re: Image Organizer Question
Small program, but Pictus is nice for just having a borderless reference image always on top. Can be instanced, and with KatMouse you can use the scrollwheel without activating the inactive, on-top window - which can be assigned to zoom or image swapping. Unfortunately, the scroll zoom is into the centre of the window… -
Re: [Dev Diary] MechKnight Chronicles - Dinosaur Games
Hey man, since its a game where you never see things that close, and its based on large facial movements, what if you only swapped out different textures on a series of planes just in front of the face, with picture of the various objects, using alpha maps to blend them with the rest of the face, idk just a thought. -
Re: Polycount Dota 2 Guild?
I am the owner of the Polycount guild actually, I snagged it for us quick before it fell into the wrong hands! I can start adding whoever would like to join :) Add me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Invertex (Make sure to tell me if you're from Polycount, as I manage more than 1 guild) -
Re: I make a lady. (possibly nudity)
Wow - how did I miss this one? Great character and really nice texturing :) I've got to agree with the comments about the leg tattoo as well though- the realistic skull doesn't fit with the universe of a such a stylised character. I would either make the skull tat as stylised as the character or swap it out for something… -
Re: XT-23 Snow Tank
Just s small crit about the design. Since this looks a tad heavy in the rear, perhaps swap the wheels to the front and tracks to the back. Putting all the weight on the wheels sorta defeats the purpose of having tracks. Plus, having the tracks out in the open in front don't make well for a armored vehicle. easy to blow the… -
Re: WIP : SciFi FPS Big Gun
I wonder, to reload will you have to unbuckle the belt and reload the cylinder? Or do you just swap out the mag... Although the cylinder dose not line up with the barrel so unless there is some kind of bullet re-orientation system then I guess the cylinder is just for show? Looks awesome anyhow, very eager to see it… -
Re: Earthquake Today
I'm in central Virginia about 60 miles away from the epicenter - it's the first earthquake that I can remember being in. My office building shook and swayed for about 3 minutes but nothing fell. Hopefully there isn't any damage at home (I've been building my house for the last year and it's not quite finished yet). -
Re: Annoying Screen Flickering in Maya 2013
It could be overheating, keep an eye on the temperatures. Only in Maya? - Maybe look into searching for "nvidia dual monitor flickering" or adding "Maya" into that search. Have you tried reverting to a single monitor for a while? (if this is compounded by heat, might need to cool down first before this test is useful)…
