Re: Dreams (WIP)
Are you using UDK? It's hard to give you tips on water when I don't know what system your using? http://www.hourences.com/ue3-water-outdoors/ <-A good UDK water tutorial. Its a bit complex but you can simplify it to your needs. The shadowing on the grass is pretty harsh, grass is fairly translucent and lets a lot of light… -
Re: Act of War RTS and the comical price of fuel
[ QUOTE ] I'd like to know why American fuel is so much cheaper than British fuel? [/ QUOTE ] Two reasons spring to mind. First, America buys in volume. I mean, *really* buys in volume. I don't know what percentage of the world's oil is consumed by America, but I expect it's between a third and a half. When you buy in… -
Re: [WIP] Chick with afro in sci fi/low fi exoskeleton
I know this isn't what you're going for but I think the main reason it looks like medical contraptions instead of a balancing device is because it's really not helping at all. Honestly to me if you need an exoskeleton (or some other device to keep yourself steady while using the gun) I would actually make it bigger and… -
Re: Portable Art tablet Recommendations?
Hello Peter! I've used Huion and Xp-Pen, and Wacom is the best brand with difference. But only if you just want an "interactive monitor" for your desktop/office. I own that cintiq 16 you linked (i previously used to use a cintiq pro 24 i returned to amazon), and an Apple ipad pro. If you want something you can travel with,… -
Re: That old Mac vs Windows Debate
They are both under-powered and overpriced for what they are, but that's the price you pay for those brands. Personally if I had to go mobile, I would go for the MSI gt75 titan 4k-247 ($4,400-ish) i9 9980HK (8 cores) 64gb RAM (up-to 128) 512 GB (2x) SSD (raid for speed) 1 TB HDD (platter drive for storage) The cooling in… -
Re: Which Motion Capture System to Buy?
Gaming hardware (especially consoles) is a lot like military hardware, it sounds impressive but it's built by the lowest bidder... PrimeSense (the Israeli company that made the kinect for MS) kept developing sensors after they sold the kinect to MS. They have two cameras that trump both the kinect and Kinect2. One is for… -
Re: Specs update for DELL XPS 9100 / OS
No. If you replace the motherboard you are pretty much making a custom built PC. Just see what form factor that motherboard is and replace it with a comparable. This isn't Apple we are talking about here. As far as the guy who.couldn't use a 660, that could be anything from needing a pcie 3.0 slot, bios upgrade, to power… -
Re: dDo...new tool from Quixel
The thing about substance designer (for me so far) is that it's user interface is a little wonky and the documentation I've been able to find so far has left me and my team a bit dead in the water when it comes to using it. It's so foreign to what artists are used to dealing with, perhaps dDo will step in and provide a… -
Re: Expresso Texturing Tools - Photoshop Plugin
NP! :) By the way a new version is out, which includes some of your suggestions: Rendering quality should have improved a bit thanks to gamma-corrected rendering, but it's a somewhat tricky area and I would really love your feedback! This is an important step towards supporting physically based rendering (which should be… -
Re: When will these next-gen features come?
Don't forget that current hardware's leap isn't as big as the last gen's jump in power due to economic reasons. I remember Tim Sweeny urging for the extra power to make a lot of the "next gen" features we were promised come true. But ultimately MS and Sony just couldn't afford to take the same kind of risk they did at the…
