i'd be careful with polys for characters. as i said, you have to skin all those vertices and if you have 3500 verts + 10*1500 verts for some enemies, you have 19k skinned verts. you need to process those every frame(and we love 60 frame games ;) ). i think your engine could get problems. mario in galaxy has about 5k polys,…
Rubber ducky, you're the ooooone! You make bath time LOTS of fun!! Rubber ducky I'm really fond of you... ! I have FINALLY gotten myself to model something again (After dragging myself out of photoshop/off the couch) Just gonna try to do some really small things for now. (Until Dom War anyway) I'm taking baby steps with…
Ok sorry for the vague thread title, I dont have a name for this app. So, one day Pior came up with this idea and I decided to start working on it. I am not sure If this is what pior was talking about, but basicly it is a small program that will run in the background and wait for you to press CTRL+F10. When you do this, it…
Hey everyone. I work for a studio that's been heavily reliant on outsourcing pretty much since the beginning.

Thomasp: Raven has a tendency to talk like he knows what he's talking about more than the people that DO know what they are talking about, apparently thats just his style. Like condescending is my style r.
Indeed, I understand that, but my point was computers have reached a certain point of fundamental-ness/basicness/intrensicness. As you've said they were not around many centuries. They didn't have the slowing down properties of their circumstantial rise at the time. Because we're also talking about a time where not a lot…
I have two fill effects applied to fill layers behaving differently in Painter, and I'm totally confused as to why. Fill layer #1 There's a smart material in the Painter shelf called "Plastic Hexagon" or something like that. It's a Base Color fill with a fill effect applied to the layer. The fill effect contains a height…
Thanks guys! When I re-started the doom scene, I had a talk with ZombieWells from here (who worked at ID and I think he is working at EPIC atm) and I asked him about the dirt thing, and he said I should make it look clean. And actually the original environment is also clean. That scene will be a playable level, and there…
[ QUOTE ] The biggest thing that bugs me about playing the game, is people WITHOUT VoiP! God damnit, these people piss me off. It's 2005 for christ sake, buy a $10 mic! Almost every new game coming out has VoiP, so USE IT. Communication is a KEY element in winning every single time. [/ QUOTE ] I am one of those guys that…
