So my first Streaming session is over.. but i really Need to push my presentations skills and i also should more go into Detail what i am doing there. And giving more informations and introductions... becouse of that i will focus more on small parts. like creating a single rock-generator or a single grasspatch Generator…
A cinematic character may have a very advanced rig with lattice\cage deformers, plus custom drivers\set-driven-keys with complex expressions, things that the game engine isn't likely to support (beyond the standard skinning and morphing). So one thing that people have done to be able to use a real-time renderer for this…
Problem is that krome has been too bloated to react to the sudden industry changes, in the last 2 years the stream of licensed titles has dried up, and the few project that remain are calling for much higher quality. (ive heard rumour of putting metacritic score in contracts.) They started to work on their own ip, but im…
In UDK making a texture atlas for multiple objects is a waste of time. Unreal engine counts each separate object as another drawcall, sometimes called a section. The renderer pauses every time it goes to draw another section. It does not matter if objects are sharing a shader or textures. This means that there's absolutely…
I've been acclimating myself to the forums here at Polycount and I have to say, I notice a pattern in the folks who post more than every few weeks tend to improve a lot more/faster...I think I'll start doing dailies myself starting around 5PM today. They won't be really FOR anything..more along the lines of just practicing…
It depends. If you're making a relatively small environment it probably makes no difference. If you're making a large world with lots of stuff in it then you're usually best to use smaller maps as that will tend to fit with streaming a bit better - for consoles I'd recommend avoiding maps bigger than 1024square due to…
Next-Gen has spilled over into other things. I've heard politicians talk about Next Gen health care and someone on the radio was talking about the Next Gen of light rail in our area. It doesn't matter whats it's being used for its officially over used, but I think this is just the tip of the Next Gen iceberg. We just need…
i just played for a bit after they finally fixed the server issues. it was a real letdown. i was hping this game would be fun when i saw it a year or so ago. its totally unbalanced. 5 or 6 shots from a tank to kill a guy, but if youre on foot, some douchebag who paid 5 bucks for his upgraded weapon/items can kill you with…
The fact that it's a yearly release cycle means that a new version has to get out the door when time is up, even with known bugs. I know there were at least two bugs that I personally reported, and one part of the maxScript docs that are just plain wrong, that did not get fixed for the release, but they could be considered…
notman: if that were to happen, there would have to be a poly limit or sommat to keep the filesizes down for easy streaming- also imagine the amount of man hours spent sifting through the legit buildings from the giant dildoes? I think the ideal set up would be to have pre made models that you can plonk onto the map- at…
