Re: Typical lightmap seams that won't go away.
Shader instances are very cheap. They're not new versions of the shader code. This is why you create master shaders instead of just making new shaders for each object. Also, by using this technique, you're shifting the load from the CPU - which renders scene instances - to a smaller load on the GPU which handles shaders.… -
Re: Obama birth certificate
So let's punish the successful,(why the unemployment is so high) and send 30k more troops into a war started by Bush? How long does a mess like that take? 4 more so fair is fair? It is convenient to note from your perspective how "crazy" the other side is, especially when the other side is talking about cutting… -
Re: Creating Dense Foliage in VR - neat article
What can I say))) try work in mobile project and VR become very easy ) Polygons is not main pain, in common - shader complexity, how hard and how many shader operations used for 1 result pixel calculation (clean geometry with simple diffuse shader is very fast for modern GPU, even on mobile you can run 300- 500K triangles… -
Re: 9/11 - 5 years later, what were you doing?
I was outside of my life drawing class waiting for the class before me to finish up so we could go in and get to sketching. Someone showed up saying "Someone kamikazed into the world trade centers this morning" to which someone else replied, "Well, they're fucked.". At the time the magnitude of those attacks hadn't hit… -

Re: Building my 3D Rig...
The SSD difference is night and day. You'll slap yourself for not doing it sooner. As for sizes and costs, it depends on what you plan on loading on it. Mine is 30gig, but I keep it really light, with only the core programs I use on it (max/zbrush/photoshop/udk). Everything else goes on the 7200 SATA drive, including games… -

Re: Portrait of a King: Henry VIII ( 1491-1547 )
Heh true Therm. What's awesome to me about doing these historical pieces is the stuff I learn. Did you know he was estimated to have been between 6'2" and 6'4"?! About 300 pounds too. Not massive by today's standards, but for the time absolutely frickin' colossal. He was basically considered a giant. Trivia fact no.2: he… -
Re: Converting Montana coal to oil?
Maybe a hybrid jet... The most thrust a plane needs is during takeoff where the power of an electric motor still can't touch the power of a combustion engine (although they are getting close). Maybe a set of assist jets could help get it up to altitude, then the rest of the trip is mostly maintaining and gliding..…
