Hey Lewis, firstly thank you for replying to my post! I agree about the shadows. The crazy thing is that this was the result after I baked the lighting. I've set my Lightmap resolution of the floor piece from 128 to 256 and set it to bake again. I could also lower the intensity of some of the brightest white lights in the…
The video cards they offer on that model are still pretty shity tho, not something i would trust to be able to handle real 3d work. [ QUOTE ] The mobile version of graphic chip is completed by four memory chips with a total volume of 128 mb., which has 64- bit system bus. Thus, test platform (A8Jr) was : Intel core2 duo…
haha thanks very much ravanna, its partly down to the fact that i left university thinking i would fall niceley into a paid position then reality smacked me in the face and ive pretty much done nothing but work on art since leaving hoping ill get a job at somepoint but if anything the situation has made me more focused on…
harumph and humbug. I was quite partial to the odd transformer when i was a child ... but again, like that teenage mutant twat turtle thing, it's a desperate attempt to cling to a past characterised by things seeming so much more exciting ... a time when special FX was a skill owned by a select talented few, and a rostrum…
I quickly scanned article and watched video. Seems pretty straightforward to use and I see people with no prior windows experience finding what they seek without any problem. And that's the way it should be. File management, writing some text notes in wordpad and sending emails should have no learning curve whatsoever,…
Neavah, I think that's exactly what I've been looking for. I worked out how to create/edit a UV map, I was just looking for a method of sort of organising the UV islands before flattening the map, to prevent them being randomly scattered and broken up. This must be it, thanks a lot ;) Oh and one more thing seeing as this…
Hmm...I had a conversation with one of their sales agents.At first,he said the student version can't be used for commercial purposes. When I mentioned I read on their forums on an old thread that the student version can be used for commercial stuff in the US.He said he will get back to me,and later said it's fine and can…
Big improvements from the start. I know you want to move on, but there are a couple simple things that will greatly enhance this piece. 1) Coronas on light and crystals. A small (128), subtle blurred circle (one blue for crystal and one yellow for light). Since you've got a set camera angle, these can quickly be face just…
I wouldn't measure out the room like that. I'd say that each wall section I make will be 128/256/512/(16*n) units wide. Then I place them in the level. If it takes 5 sections then its 5 walls long. I don't really focus on the whole. That occurs after placing the elements. The pillars don't "need" to be on the grid for this…
