Re: Crysis 3 - 'Maxing out' current gen consoles
The hardware utilization percentages are totally meaningless... theoretically, you could measure how many CPU and GPU cycles are spent working without stalling, how much of the clock cycles of the internal and external buses are used for data transfer, how much memory is left free and so on. We all know it's impossible to… -
Re: Blending tool using height maps and mesh contact!
Here are the stats from the compiled shaders (I suppose that also includes Unity's PBR shading ? Not sure how to isolate that) Terrain blending : // Stats for Vertex shader: Simple contact blending (Between an object's material and another single material) : // Stats for Vertex shader: Advanced contact blending (Between an… -
Re: Let He who cast the first stone
This isn't to excuse what she's doing now, but I don't think it's fair to be quite so critical of her because, she (and anyone in similar circumstances) shouldn't really have been in this situation in the first place. Her work is okay, it's just not higher education/University level material and that *should* have been… -
Re: The future of asset creation for games
Hmm its interesting that we are talking about tech for games, but does anyone care about new story and gameplay for games? Cause as a gamer I am tired of playing shooters that are based on some country fighting a war with another country lol.

Re: Rail Gun (Complete)
Thanks Dethling! Gotta say the P90 is one of my favorite sub machine gun, especially how you reload the magazine on top of the weapon, personally I think is a really cool design. When I'm designing weapons, I've always look at modern weapons first and think about, "how can I make this look more sci-fi". For this railgun… -
Re: Using Marmoset vs UE4 for portfolio work?
Marmoset is the easy way definitely. Marmoset is very valuable if you are less experienced with engines, shaders and rendering, as its literally a "make art" button, just turning about everything nice in terms of rendering. If you have to get a job soon and do not have time to dig into complicated rendering stuff, I would… -
Re: Quake 3 turns 10 years old - has technology advanced as you once thought it might?
I would dare to say that narrative and characterisation hasn't improved at all since the NES era ;) . Unless we are talking about point-and-click adventures, but then again they hardly belong to the mainstream gaming. Graphics could be better. But, it's perfectly understandable, considering that creating exclusives is no… -

Re: Nearly 50% of GameStops profits come from pre-owned sales (College Paper)
I refuse to buy used games from Gamestop, unless they're RIDICULOUSLY cheap. Every now and then I'll see a game for $5 bucks or something like that, mostly old gamecube games - or the occassional Wii product nobody's ever heard of. But other than that, I just refuse to buy used shit from Gamestop. I mean, they might think… -
