I've been using speedtree for a little while now and I thought I had a hang of it. I made some trees and exported them yada yada and I reopened the file today and the previously 2k~ tri trees I made are now at a whopping 13k tris. Upon closer inspection I see that there are smaller versions of the trees within my trees. I…
This has been a really cool project to follow! My biggest issue with the shots your posting right now is the overall readability and noise of them. At first, I wanted to place the blame for this on your screenspace AO, but that's not quite it. So I took some of your shots into photoshop and looked at them without color and…
Translucent materials light differently depending on the model you use. The choices are listed in the material properties. You probably want to use dbuffer decals for this purpose though rather than a translucent material
I'm in the progress of making what is essentially a modular character set to sell on a game dev resource store (multiple ones). But I have some questions on what might be prefered. Here's the concept: A Male/Female set based on one body type of that gender (Athletic, Slender, Chubby, Muscular) with a range of clothing…
Wrong on many levels. First, you want to best of promotional nature, to drive the users. Regarding the stakeholder situation, Tim Sweeny, founder and still main shareholder is not driven by profits. Epic main revenue channel is Fortnite and income is used to build this "metaverse" ecosystem. UE started to gain traction…
Its only a subsidy if you go by that websites definition, but every other site including websters dictionary do not consider it a subsidy by definition. Subsidies are tied to grants, not tax breaks. Its also a fallacy to say the government loses money by granting tax breaks. They actually generate more wealth, not less. IF…
I dont think we should consider this stuff cheating either, I just think its a young medium of art and people arent sure how to understand that. We even arnt sure how to categorise it, which is shown when we have discussions like this. I think its just a bit of a shock to the traditional art world that many of thier…
Any one else who wants to block it add this to your popup/adblocker http://ads.gamespyid.com/ad.aspx?S=plane...Falt%5F1x1%2Ejs @killingpeople: I'm just ranting about a flash ad that popped up and made it so I couldn't see the front page of polycount.com since it took up most of the center screen (even at 1024 x 768…
I don't understand why they would want to make a console. When in some interview they started talking about making hardware i though it was about one of those PCs that come with everything inside, like dell etc, but instead you would have a low range, mid range and high range steam computers. Why would I want a steam…
Model/normals look sharp. Couple thoughts on materials: 1. The little dings where the wood/enamel/clear coat have been chipped away is going to be quite a bit less specular and have a smaller exponent. ATM it seem as if those details only exist on the diffuse. 2. The wood diffuse itself could use a lot more range and…
