I've already posted Olick's results on the compression of voxel octrees. Important elements: - Geometry won't get distorted because you don't store world position data at all; it's implicitly defined in the octree itself. The position of the voxel in the game scene is derived from it's position in the octree, so no need to…
The Walking Dead is not an AAA game, it's a low budget game sold at a budget price, digitally. The sales figures they release in January say the games made $40 million in sales (presumably of all episodes combined) which is an enormous success for a small budget game. However to put that into perspective Skyrim made $450…
It's old news. Maybe not this spacific case. UK behaves much the same way, as does Singapore, Hong Kong, Pakistan and India. I know many people who have been permanently displaced for these reasons, including my Mom. Here are a few examples: In 1971 my uncle was put in a UK prison for trying to enter Canada via London. His…
My routine is similar to a lot of people here; I do my 40 hours and I go home. Occasionally I will stay a little longer at work if I want/need to get a piece finished, but generally I work from 8.30ish to 5pm. If I was allowed to start and leave work earlier I definitely would, but the earliest I can finish is 5. I try and…
I don't get what people see about aion being a hard grind... yes there is that issue of the damn balaur hearts at 50 for the miragent/fenril armor, I'm at lvl 47 right now and I'm dreading the prospect of farming the mats for potentially... a lot of failures. Aside from that, the grind was really not that significant. It…
Bump. Going to use this so we can have one thread on laptops versus 20. Really tired of current PC. Want a lappy so can work on patio this summer. Want to be able to render as well with some decency. Eventually get a new desktop for power usage and modern games at high settings but waiting on USB 3.0 and Sata 3 to be…
Does anyone remember the best thread of all time? The Vietnamese guy presenting his golden god character over 40 pages? There even was a youtube video. Sadly I cannot find the link again any any search is helpless so far. I have told others the glory of this thread and now need to find it again. Its really important for…

I've been working on a project for 3d model's steampunk new history competition (located here if your interested in it https://3dmodels.org/steampunk-new-history/ ) I decided to go with a steampunk batmobile, located in a Victorian Gotham. I've been working on it the last month or so for a few hours every night. Here's a…
I've been trying to get into photogrammetry after having a small class about the topic last semester. We basically covered the whole workflow from Photoscan to zBrush, but that was done in a studio, and after watching the Kite Demo Breakdown from Epic, I've been looking for ways to apply this in my own environments. I know…
