Which graphics card to buy? I'm trying to go cheap, but still be able to game well... System specs are: AMD 64 3200+ on an nForce3 mobo (AGP 8X) 1 gig of dualchannel RAM 350W power supply but i have a geforceFX5600 right now, and sadly it's gonna have to go if I wanna even think about playing BF2 on a decent graphics…
Problem: Opening a brand new empty scene, I am unable to orbit the viewport, use the interface, or add objects without an insane amount of lag. 1-5fps if im lucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have researched everything, uninstalled any programs I thought might be conflicting from the "Software Conflicts" doc…
It is a known issue that the gamma is saved out wrong when baking materials. It is related to Substance as everything else out of Max and Vray save in the correct gamma space. An easier way to work around this is to either A - Batch process them in Photoshop or B - Use the Vray HDRI texture to load all of your bitmaps. In…
I'd advise against using Maya's transfer maps for baking AO. You've already come across one problem which is actually caused by the way Mental Ray generates AO. Whether your low poly is inside, outside or a mixture of both shouldn't be a factor when baking. Mental ray (wrongly) includes the bake target (i.e. your low poly…
Small update while I prepare my final UV and analyze my shells to save as much space as possible by mirroring any parts that needs it. *Side not imma push the rail pannels a bit more and exagerate further) Gun with all parts is 66k poly Gun without the lw rail/rail panels (biggest poly) = 22k LW Rail = 16k & Rail Panels =…
Xoliul [/ B] Hey Xoliul, thank you very much for this shader! I really like it! But i have some problems with this shader. First of all is resolution of Grab Picture. I need a resolution of 1024 by 768, how to get it? and the second problem - sometimes there are strange bugs and image distortion. Original: My system: Amd 6…

Fill the background of you site to all black. the last image in the assets page is a link to download a psd. Change ti to a jpg page. BIGGER…
IMO, the main advantages of using tangent space: * Because the normal is relative to the face, Z always faces up. - That means normals with more precision when data is quantized, usually to 8bit per-axis. (128 vs 256 positive Z values.) - Z can be omitted and quickly derived on-the-fly without any extra info. - Storing…
There's money in design, if you're good at it. I'm an interactive designer at a 250-ish person advertising firm, and my salary is closer to six figures than it is to four. Plenty of opportunities for work on the side, too - I just finished a freelance job I charged $70/hour for. The fact that there's so much cheap/shitty…
First day buy for me. Doom is simple: You're alone, you have cool weapons, you kill a shit load of demons in a violent manner. That's it. And that looks like what we are getting. I don't know what people were wanting from this game, but more than likely you can find it elsewhere. I don't want cover fire, I don't want…
