Re: Need a BADASS LAPTOP!
Dear god, why? As I say in pretty much every *need a "work" laptop" thread, this is just a colausal waste of money. You think that you want something beefy and awesome, but it is very unlikely you'll actually use your laptop for work. What do you think you're gonna go, take your laptop to the beach and do 3d stuff? Nahh,… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
This is a surprisingly common view... and 99% false. When I was in high school I knew a couple people who were deep into the pirating scene, guys that ran the backbone FTP servers the cracking groups used. Terrabyte servers run by normal dudes back in 2001, plugged directly into the fiber lines that serve comcast and… -
Re: Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
I think there is a serious need for some sort of distribution/publishing solution. I like Steam, and I think it is a great step towards a new way of thinking about selling PC Games, but I think the answer to "save" PC Gaming is going to be a little more unorthodox. PC Games are a far different beast than their console… -
Re: Art Department vs. IT
After being in IT and Technical support for Atari (we supported UnrealEd up to UT2004) I can say it's always been kind of buggy and prone to crashes, Gears of War was about the worst I've seen. BUT some of the latest releases have been amazing, and while they are more stable, they aren't bullet proof. Careful what else is… -
Re: Valve cheats people out of money
More power to steam, and any hinderance to the piracy of games. Leck mich am Arsch. When I pay for a game I don't want to be bothered by ten layers of copy protection. The game will be pirated anyway and the pirates (at least the end users) won't have to deal with those copy protection mechanisms. You don't need more copy… -
Re: Improving 3D terrain quality - Object space and bent normal maps?
I never see a baker that would bake object space bent normals. But assume it's still possible to do as post editing with 2d compositor probably or with node based shader system bending object space normals. I never tried this although . Baking soft usually do tangent space bent normal maps as far as i know. An advantage of… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
@FourtyNights : from what I gather from my interaction with support it should be possible to reinstall 2022.0.5 at any time as both the installer package and the authorization system are being maintained. It is earlier versions that are impossible to legally setup at this time. But of course nothing prevents them from… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (80)
Hey all! I'm seeing a lot of really cool work here. I don't know what to say yet that hasn't already been said... maybe I will be able to share some insights after seeing the next batch of progress posts. The weapon station concept stood out to me as a great opportunity to learn how to create some simple effects. That said… -
