FF12's battle & exploration happening in the same map combined with the ability to pretty much program your characters with the Gambit system (cool UI with the curved beams too). Playing JRPGs, about 80% of the time I curse when I'm interrupted by a random battle. I can't really give much opinion on FF13, I borrowed it…
Hey @Froyok that looks like a graphical glitch, have you tried switching to an Aero theme? If you find it to be too slow, there's the Aero Basic too (Windows 7), that's almost as fast as the Classic theme. For the other OS there's the hidden Aero Lite. Before switching theme, save your current theme and screenshot your…
I've tried the tutorials etc on that matcap thing, when I crop and fill I just get a blank surface. http://sebleg.free.fr/tutorials/zbaking.html I know this is defeatist but is Mudbox any easier than ZBrush? I just can't get past the user-unfriendliness of the the menu system, and I know people can use it, I can't figure…
[ QUOTE ] Not really fare to compare something the end user has to assemble, and comes with zero support or software at all. [/ QUOTE ] I would assume anyone that has any use of a system like that has the smarts to build / optimize their own system, and you can get warranties through newegg or the manufacturers; winXP…
There are relatively few things that there is a 'right' way to do. The right way to handle it depends entirely on your system and what you want to get out of it. It's certainly not unheard of to just layer stuff on top if you've got the resources to handle it in the game (but you will have to watch out for intersection…
demoncage, yea a low spec model. I'm currently working with a startup on a lightweight MMO-like project that is going to need to run well on low end systems. My thought is to go for a low poly, hand painted model look to keep things tight and working well on lonw end systems. It can't look overly cartoony but I've seen…
The problem is proving the age of the models (or at last I read that was the big gripe..) A lot of websites that host pictures of men/women that are amature photos and that were just scooped off the net and plopped in a webpage. This means, even though the people may look their age, it doesn't provide any legal, valid…
Various ways. Two bones from the upper spine bone, pointing out. You can write a physics system to bounce, or you could create two dummy helpers at the tip of each bone (around the nips). Attach the helpers to the spine too. Make the bones 'Look At' the helpers. Apply a physics system to the helpers, run your animation.…
this definitely sounds like f*cky behavior. maybe this is caused by your operating system user permission settings, or read/write restrictions in a directory. had you by chance customized the program's install directory? like rather than C:/Program Files you used C:/Art Programs? sometimes that will mess with software…
So now that UE5 is out, what's the TLDR on nanite? My understanding is it's basically a system where a mesh is pre-processed into an octree format ("virtualized geometry") to make it fast enough to find out which triangle per-pixel is closest to the camera each frame, thus avoiding the need to render more then one triangle…
