Re: How many Polys (Triangles) can the average 4GB/6GB RAM load in view.
Triangles don't take up much memory at all, it's texture resolution and frame buffers that take up most of the memory. Roughly estimating, you probably could have 100s of millions of tris on 4gb of vram (talking about unique data, not including instancing). Practically, quad overdraw would be a huge performance issue… -
Re: When are you ready to start working?
Hmm.. As of right now, I'm only going to start applying once I am able to create work that is equal or better to the guys doing AAA scenes. I think it's becoming easier and easier with all of this new awesome software too so there's no reason not to shoot that high. So I guess to answer your question from someone who isn't… -
Re: Texture sets count.
Hi Nanashi, Typically for a small prop, one texture set is more than enough. A tank, on the other hand, would benefit from having multiple texture sets. Assuming you would be making a photorealistic tank for a AAA game, you would potentially have a texture set for the body, treads, and the turret. You might even have… -
Re: Steam Refunds
It seems pretty fair to me. 14 days is more than enough to allow people with slower DSL connections to download a AAA title and try it out. Two hours of play time covers the shovelware that downloads in five minutes. (A game should take longer than two hours to complete.) The only place I see a problem is with episodic… -
Re: Majestic-12 Indie Sidescroller
Gonna be another annoyer here :/ While i loved all of your character work (models, textures, animations) I was pretty let down by the environments displayed in the video. Textures, lighting, background, harsh color contrasts in general - it kinda doesn't fit and blend together nicely, in my opinion and can't keep up with… -
Re: I made an FPS game -- Receiver
Really love this! Saw it at lunch, downloaded as soon as i got home, well worth the cash. Its got a really nice fresh/raw feel to it, like playing a pc game from the 90s. Its one of those that has a lot of promise, a story, some UI and key options and a load of game content and its a big hit. Which is more than can be said… -
Re: First Model (it's bad)
It looks good for your first model, If you want to dive into how you make it look like something in a AAA game you should start learning sub-d modeling, there are loads of tutorials and resources out there on the subject so I wont bother describing it in any detail. I think you will learn it pretty fast if you watch some… -
Re: "I Don't Know How to do that!"
Ask here or your peers! Its better to always ask instead of spending a ton more time trying to figure it out yourself. My first AAA job I learned a ton from people, and every once in a while they'd call me over to show me new things which was always awesome and nice. I'm honestly a better artist cause of them and because… -
Re: Zombies Ate My Neighbors WIP
So awesome! Although seeing this makes me a little mad.....What the hell happened to games? Choices for the modern gamer equate to: Free to play or some AAA over produced tech demo. Sure a few Indie games look sweet, but these never get the polish they deserve due to their team size/budget/marketing. I mean where did the… -
Re: E3-Nintendo
WiiU = new console with high-end HD graphics + iPad/button controller. I can't believe any of you guys are skeptical - Nintendo is fucking KILLING with this. The uses for the screen are awesome, and they've got tons of legit third party. They're directly putting Arkham City and Assassin's Creed on there, those are huge AAA…
