Re: Killzone 3 Hits Torrent Sites
You almost made me roll of my chair with the last sentence, well played mr. racer :P Before anyone goes "Bwaaah END OF GAMING!", remember console leaks aren't anything new.. Happens to a major part of big 360 releases if I'm not mistaken... Also due note that I'm not saying I'm happy with this, but it's really not the news… -
Re: HQ Showreel Renders with Mental Ray
I really wouldn't put any effort into rendering 360's of realtime art with Mental Ray. Like Vig said, use Animation > Make Preview. I've been doing that all week at work to create our showreel, works perfectly. You can even get masks from it if you set the background to black and use a pure white shader. -
Re: How does the industry works?
1024x1024 is no longer the largest you'll see in games. The Xbox 360 had 512mb of ram, and most textures were around 512x512 or smaller. Now consoles have 8 gigs of ram, so 2048x2048, or multiple 1024x1024 textures for a model is possible. 40k tris for characters in "next gen" games seems to be common. Art tests normally… -
Re: Assassin creed III deep snow tech ...
For those interested, the Xbox 360 does sport some early DX10 functionality including gpu tessellation that was used in Halo Wars with their vector field terrain. Here's a link to Colt McAnlis's GDC session (one of the my favs of that year) you can skip to "LOD Round3 - Hardware" section of the talk to get to it:… -
Re: Thoughts On the new consoles
I'm excited for them. The PS3/360 generation has went on too long so I'm really looking forward to what next gen has to offer. There's quite a few games I'm interested in (i.e Knack, Killer Instinct, Infamous SS etc). Wish I could go out and pre-order one right now but I have no job. :( -
Re: DSR 50 (sniper rifle) WIP
I like My DSR's to be cleaner, its a new gun that doesnt see mush action so i would just keep it clean imo. If you have a PS3, check out MGS4, dont bother with the updates just run the game and have a look at The DSR in the weapon viewer, full 360 view of a nice clean DSR, MGS style -
Re: Maya: boolean workflow
the new Carve (same thech as Blender) based booleans in maya are able to do that... yes... but there is no ui for... and the boolean obejcts are hidden... but does have a live connection... there are some scripts out there... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t8wPSt5A5A https://vimeo.com/153704881… -
Re: Cliches that need to be put to rest.
Thanks for reminding me. "Next gen" is a cliche that has to die. A lot of people still seem to think that the 360 and PS3 are "next gen". Apparently "next gen" no longer actually means anything and is just a phrase that describes those consoles. So what the hell will happen when the actual next generation of consoles… -
Re: IronLore Closes
The piracy thing really is out of control. A certain Activision developer that we're in close contact with at Neversoft actually tracks pirated copies of the PC version of their game, and it was hovering around 85%. And quality/marketing/etc really can't be to blame in this particular case, since the game is reviewing in… -
Re: Has this been discussed yet? Dynamically changing normal maps?
This has been done for years on ea sports games. I think if you look back to nba live 2006, or 2007 on xbox 360 can't remember what year this started? You will see blending normal maps on shorts and jerseys. I never liked the effect I thought it was a waste of texture ram and fell apart if you stopped and looked at it for…
