The Nex sensors are noticeably better than the M4/3 offerings (in noise and dynamic range). The Nex-3 with kit lens and 16mm is an incredible value, and you can mount almost any lens ever with a cheap adapter. My one reason for not getting one is that there isn't a good, cheap, small 35mm f/2 or faster lens option for it.…
33. Lighting & Rendering: 3-Point Lighting 3-point lighting is the base used in the majority of lighting set-ups for characters. 3-point lighting uses a key light, back light, and fill light. The key light is used to brighten the focal point in your character, usually the face and some of the upper torso. The fill light…

Alright I see this will be a bit complicated... So first of all you are changing the normal direction with that lerp before the fresnel. Normals should be in range of 0,-1 so then if you want flat normal angle, your vector 3 would be 0,0,1. I guess that constant 1 with 0.5 in the alpha of the lerp would be a blend factor…
Hey, updating my workshop thread with 3 new uploads: 1. Scar-20 Big Spender: 2. Scar-20 Big Spender [Black Series]: The core idea for this skin and the Black Series variation is that SCAR is one of the 3 most expensive guns in the game, and I want the materials used in the skin and the craftsmenship displayed in design to…
Hi As was already mentioned if your software doesn't support it, you woun't really gain any benefit. However games such as Crysis will run much faster on a Quad core, presumably for the same reasons Unreal Tournament 3 will run faster, each core take control of different parts of the game. So for instance, core 1 might run…
jerry: Play more levels, noob. The first 2 levels are only an introduction to the game's controls and objectives, with the subsequent levels increasing in challenge, and introducing more puzzle elements. Great game design. Speaking of Level 3, my girlfriend found a major blocker you guys should look into. (credit given…
[ QUOTE ] They played in the worst division in football, anyone care to argue this *fact*? New England Patriots 16 0 Buffalo Bills 7 9 New York Jets 4 12 Miami Dolphins 1 15 I'm not saying they arent a good team, but many in the media were proclaiming them the *best team of all time*. If you take away the horrible division…
@supersnakelx I contact the mods after I create a new thread to have the new one stickied and the old one taken down, since I do not have mod privileges. There has been instances in the past where the Environment challenge was also stickied, however it's up to the creator or the participates to get that done if it's what…
Hey Warren, Solid so far. I would assume the hex bolts would be baked, if that's the case you'll probably want to taper bevels more to so they get picked up in the normal map. Not sure if this is accurate to any particular knife/reference so it might be intended, but just below the 3 inset teeth at the top of the handle it…
