It depends on the game engine you are using, and the type of game you are working on. 30-64 is the advice from several years ago. These days I would say between 60-128. For Age of Empires Online we used between 16-28 bones per unit, because they were so small. For Orcs Must Die because there were so many enemies on the…
I'll preface this by saying I've never physically been in an airforce hangar - so I might be way off. But IMO this plane doesn't feel like it belongs here. The hangar looks like an old, run-down factory building (WW2 era with the beams, oriel windows, general shape) and is pretty messy and dim. Whereas the airplane is…
I wouldn't do overclocking on the machine you do your work on unless it came from a builder overclocked with a warranty. As far as the RAM goes, you can do 1600Mhz with your current mobo. A low latency RAM stick will be faster during a lot of read/write operations. To get the triple channel, you'll have to go with 6 or 12…
I highly recommend getting in touch with the http://www.flashgamelicense.com guys. They are really fantastic to work with and are basically 90% responsible for my success the past few years, and all they charge is a measily 10% commision (that is nothing compared to most services that take 30-60%). I'm sure they would be…
I am in the same boat as the OP. Though I start some courses in september on games design (though I plan to be ahead of the course before I even begin and am mainly using it for a 'look I've got the education' part of the CV.) I would ask you this: Want to be a character artist and have zero art skill? Don't worry, google…
@Eric Chadwick I simply LOVE you... after 4 days.... full 48 hours... full 48*60 minutes NOW IT IS WORKING LIKE A CHARM!! I am now in heaven (well for some second then I go to hell :D ... because soon I should create rest of the city in the 3DS Max, but I love it :D ) BTW, I am now able to make splat maps in Photoshop.…
SECONDARY TEXTURE UPDATE I'm currently around half way through my secondary texture pass. I had a lot of fun putting all the various 60's advertisements on the walls which really starts to add some life to my environment. The majority of the colours of the environment were picked off an auto coloured version of my…
I always go for a top of the line Mac and I am always extremely pleased. Currently have an iMac with stupidly fast (750mb read write) terrabyte SSD, stupidly clear display, GTX780 4GB custom tuned model, 32GB ram. handles most games on ultra at 60. Handles unity 5 and unreal 4 absolutely fine. obviously installed windows…
hi guys, I am really new to photogramettry stuff the latest result i have here is combination of raw data and "inflate cheat" in zbrush. Canon 60 D after inflate balloon from Diffuse AO some people in fb comment said i dont have to take a lot of picture to get accurate mesh data , however , i tried that before and got so…
No, of course not, it's part of the picture that helps us understand the impact of these things. Nothing makes us murderers but our predisposition to become one, but we can heavily influence if that predisposition kicks into gear or not. I do however agree on the regulation bit, it is a slipperly slope. There is a couple…
