Re: East of Seattle
OMG... The Kirkland kicks-ass thread! I live in the area too. I used to work with ebagg at Crankypants Games and I rented an apartment within walking distance. It was a 2bd/1bath and I was paying $810/month. Wasn't the prettiest place, but it was home. I started freelancing and didn't need to live that close so I moved. I… -
Re: Pixel/Texel Density theory
Well yea for sure, no mip maps will throw the whole thing out the window there. I've had bad experiences with the texture-squashing thing, so I try to aviod it where possible. For PS2, I find myself using a lot of desaturated palettes, and 4bit textures. Suprisingly, most things look good in 4bit -
Re: Hand painting nice glass
did you used a AO pass- because of those noisy grain propably because max rendered just 4bit instead of 8bit (256 levels) of grey (its just the way 3dsmax fails often at AO passes). Maybe smart-blur that layer , or render it in a larger size blur it then and resize it to the size you need. regarding the glass, a mixture of… -

Re: Curious. square vs rectangular texture
The PS2's texture preference depended on what bit depth you used. If you used 8bit, the optimal size would be 128x64. If you used 4bit, it was 128x128. This was due to the fact that for each bit depth, the vram cache was differant. At 8bit, the PS2 vram has perfect space for a 128x64 texture. And it draws one page at a… -

Re: .-| Week 8 - The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
all caught up :) Just want to say I'm learning a lot from the rest of you. Just looking at your wires I can see that I probably should have used more geometry for a cleaner result. There's some slight pinching on mine on the curvy areas Wires: http://imgur.com/4bkUJ3q -
Re: Small Shadow error??

Re: Misplaced textures are shown in the render view [3DSMax]
UVW Xform modifier lets you change scale/rotation/position of existing UVs. Helpful if you know you need a certain numerical offset. Which version of Max are you using? This is a good tutorial for Max 2016: http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-72EDF161-E5BC-4B43-86B9-08FE4A58AEB6 -
