Re: Retrieve normal maps difference
It's definitely possible, but I'm sure there's a better way than the Janky way I did it. Copy and paste your red and green channels from your two normal maps into different layers.

Re: Gears of War 3 - Character Stuffs

Re: Computer Requirements
Buy a cheaper i7 3770k, and ddr3 memories at 2400mhz, and a good mobo with 16+8. Don't waste your money when you can buy the combo i said for less than 600€ in europe. Also, don't buy velociraptors... buy SSD if you want the best perfomance. There are OCZ vertex 4 128gb for 120 euros. If you are going to do game art (UDK),… -
Re: Can I haz new Rig?
One thing to think about, if you get an intel processor, less wattage (85 vs 125 (for equal clock quads (its $50 more for the intel)) = save money on your electric bill and puts out less heat and "AMD Phenom (1) CPUs are comparatively bad at gaming. You don't want a Phenom 9750 in a gaming PC. The Phenom II models were a… -
Re: Point and shoot cameras?
I would try to buy pre-owned Sigma DP1 Merrill on ebay. It's more expensive but sometimes could still be found for a bit more than 300. The camera is pretty hi res but super slow pacing so not very good for photogrammetry series. A comparison with mentioned cameras… -

Re: UV mappping Ued vs. Max
You can make max behave like unreal ed. for example... If you put a mesh select (or poly select)that has nothing selected between your model and your uvw map modifier, you can edit the model and maintain your boxmapping to the same scale automatically. I have a box with the box uvmap set up for each texel density (128,… -
Re: building a new pc... have some questions for the technical minded.
My suggestion regarding harddrives: Buy a 500 - 750 GB 7500rpm HDD Save money and eventually buy a 128 GB SSD - clone or fresh install your OS Also, buy 6 GB Corsair dominator RAM for now - buy 6 GB more in the future I'm sure the price on the older i7's will come down, but it may not be soon and it won't be a whole lot.…
