Re: Need help making spaceship engine flames
vbr2809, Take a look at the Unity Training project Space Shooter http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/space-shooter they have a particle system setup for doing something similar to what you are trying to do. They demo it in the third video 'The player gameobject' at around the 8 minute mark. There is an asset… -
Re: sweet magnetic moving artwork
I saw this stuff on The Discovery Channel a few years ago. If I remember correctly, one of the practical applications for this stuff was to use it in suspension systems for military vehicles (Humvees, sand rails, etc.). They use it in hydraulic shock-absorbers and control the viscosity of the liquid with an electric… -
Re: Latest Gaming Law Struck Down...
The issue is, the MPAA has always had the movie theaters by the short hairs in terms of enforcing the ratings system. The ESRB doesn't get the same respect from retailers. It's probably got something to do with the 'games are for kids' stupidity that I ranted about in that other thread. This kind of thing has happened… -
Re: Quake 4 MP vids !
I'm at qcon right now and ive played it a few times. Its like they crossed quake2 deathmatch, quake 3 deathmatch, and doom3 graphics all together. I'm not a fan of doom3 online play because the game seems to bog the system so badly. But it played great on the alienware systems they had set up. Over all I really like where… -
Re: Fallout 3
Congrats Gavimage on the kickass wife! I played it lost 3 hours of my life, didn't eat drink or cig at all, this may be my way of quiting smoking. Playing it on the ps3 so I don't know if this is an issue with all versions, but the environment gets in the way a lot with the vats system, and only in that I wanna see all the… -
Re: GTA San Andreas is being investigated in the US
to me one of the most absurd things about this is the ESRB rating system.. What honestly is the point of a rating for 17+ that is mature, and one for 18+ that is adults only? I get the feeling that the system is set up exactly for cases like this- so that a game can be singled out and banned from shops, because of a policy… -
Re: Testers get their own building at Epic
So they're switching from a terrible system (testers in a completely different location) to a less bad but still awful system (testers in a slightly different location). When I was an EA tester, even just being on a separate floor in the same building was the cause of massive communication failures daily. Ever since I've… -
Re: Looking for retro games with an old rigging technique
Nothing much to add, but this did remind me of Paul Steed's book that got me into max and character modeling: https://dondeq2.com/2017/08/17/modeling-a-character-in-3ds-max-by-paul-steed-rip/ He mentions only briefly about their particular animation system for q3arena at the very beginning of the book. RIP Paul. -
Re: Advice: Building a New Computer
An 800 watt PSU is overkill for any single GPU system. The only reason you would want 800 watts is if you are running two or three GPUs. It's a waste of money. For most single GPU systems, 500-600 watts is perfect. You'll never need more than 600. The i7 920 is not worth it when you can have an i7 2600K, which will wipe… -
Re: LGBT issues and sexual diversity in games
Surely it only matters that when LGBT people are presented that they are presented as human beings and not stereotypes rather than trying to force more LGBT people into everything? I mean saying mass effect's system, leaving you with no set sexuality and allowing you to choose who you sleep with, isn't dealing with…
