@Meteorkid: I was thinking that the back of the stock might have some "give" so it could act as a shock absorber. I'll experiment with moving it around though! As for shooting through walls... I take it you've played Red Faction :) . Nah, this one will probably be more like a normal rifle, except with a different firing…
I would wait for the 900 series cards to come out, they will be relatively affordable compared to the past pricing of the higher end cards (the 980 should be $450 I think? I paid that amount for my 770 4gb almost exactly a year ago, and its nearly 25% faster). That or get a 770 4gb when the new series comes out, should be…
From what I can remember it involved exporting a sim from FumeFX/Houdini/Maya (can't remember which program t hey used...) and then importing it as some sort of magic volume thing into UE4. The impression I got was that it involved a lot of scripting and a bit of programmer time to get it working and it would basically…
The last video Rocksteady released changed my mind a little, showed the world to be a little bigger that they had previously described, with some nice flying gameplay, but I had my heart set on a much larger scale open world game tbh. Maybe for the next gen of consoles, with some smart modular workflow ;) I really enjoyed…
Degrees are nice for when your tour of duty is over, you're 25-30 and where just shat out by the industry for the 3rd time and you're thinking... "fuck this I'm going to be an accountant". Good thing you have this fine arts degree or worse this "game artz deadgree"! If you have the coin and the time, it won't hurt. Putting…
Yes, that's what makes this bumbling hillbilly look like such a tard. I spent the first 25 years of my life in Virginia, Texas and California. So, one black guy can speak for the entire race, good to know. Can you also ask your one black friend what he thinks about other racially loaded issues so we can all know? Please…
I generally disregard what I see in the viewport, but you appear to be rendering in just a basic, no-lighting setup. If you want to know whether there's something off with your mesh/textures you should render the model using an advanced lighting model (looks far better as well). So in order to do this, go to…
Pretty much what I said earlier, you want to cut down on any geometry that doesn't define the silhouette or doesn't have any tiling functions. For some of your long round shapes on your building, you could afford to remove every 2nd loop in some cases. When dealing with the model as well, you can try a shiny specular…
Don't worry about that... dealerships have been closing as a result of the economy. Soon there won't be many at all. Personally, I like having a lot of dealerships. It creates competition and convenience. I don't need a Walmart on every corner either, but they exist. My VW dealership is about 15 miles from my house, and…
This is a little off topic but I ended up workin on it during time I was going to hit my scene. I was scimming through some forums on a site I go to and someone posted a scetch he was considering getting as a tattoo. I pretty much stopped immediatly and scretched this out. Its been sitting in my head for a good 3 years and…
