My map was 340mb using my own lights. I then decided to copy and paste someone else's light and fog (deleting mine). After I build lighting my map is now 800mb. Is there a process I have missed? Is it somehow saving the old shadow info for the previous map? (I just copied the fog and light icon, nothing else). I haven't…
Hello again! well I've been baking with Xnormal for a little while now with great success 90% of the time or so, but not this time! Look at that, on the inner side of the right side of the ancient gate! Baking anomalies, inexplicable baking anomalies! Now this is also occurring on the inner side of the left side, across…
Something thats been bothering me a fair bit lately is technical ability and my overall usefulness. Currently im pretty much limited to 2d and im aspiring to be a conceptartist dude. Things are slowly sinking in at the moment as to what kind of broad knowledge i need and its a bit overwhelming, especially when I take a…
Among all the other comp problems i've had lately, now everything's 'fixed', and of course my games start intermittently freezing. After swappin out vid cards I determined my BFG-Tech 6800 was the source of the problem. Emailed them up and got this response, so if anyone else is having probs...: [ QUOTE ] The problem…
Actually, I am still paying off my student loans. I have 2 bachelors and one associates degree. UCSC & trade school. The cost of books was hardly a dent in the over all cost compared to what each credit cost me plus living expenses. Did you watch the documentary I posted? Highly recommend it. The fallacy of your argument…
Hi All, this is my first post here in the poycount community and logically the first time I enter in this contest. I just know about it, I know there is not much time left, but I would like to try ;) My theme "El dia de los muertos" and the character who I thought could fit with it best is JINX. Along these days until the…
Heya. I think you should keep the space dumpster, vase, fire extinguisher. The knife and the telephone booth are ok, they could stay or go. I would suggest removing everything else. The crossbow is pretty weak, modeling/texturing/rendering. The prop rendered with a blank background is a little tiresome. If you're making…
Been a while but finally, I call this project done! What a great learning experience this has been. I wrote a full breakdown of this project which I am planning to post later. I thought it was important for me to write down all I have learned, and maybe it can help someone else at my level as well. I am certain (and I…
I'm testing a model with 1024x1024 maps but I have something else that's 4096x2048 that I'd like to try. Might have to run that one at 2048x1024... I'm using the ImageToPAA.exe that comes with the tools rather than doing the conversion in o2. It has a flag for size but I can't see what size the outputted .paa's are anyway…
Have you checked the normals of the objects? Apply an edit normals modifier and make sure they point out, not in. I'm not sure that's whats going on because you would typically get something to render, but it's something else to check. If you create a new object like a box does it render? You said you were using a dome…
