Something more recent: Riker's Island. The Rock. Adult inmates refer to the savage juvenile building as "Vietnam." Actually a penal colony of 10 separate jails, the Rock is the second-largest confinement facility in the entire world. When it comes to putting people in cages Cali is king, but the Big Apple gives it a…
It is vertex animation like a morph target which can be very expensive and memory intensive. So it doesn't get used that often, at least not in the PS3/360 generation. It really depends on how many verts are in the mesh (not just those that are changing). So if you have a 40k model and are only tweaking 20-30 tris it is…
We use 3ds at our studio and we spend all day complaining and dealing with crashes. My max has a bug where if I move an edge, it crashes... has happened across several scenes for several days completely unrelated to each other. It constantly crashes, and is so unbelievably bloated, as has been stated here. A little…
Thanks for the replies. So i think i will go for one with nvidia, and i also think i will buy the second one i posted but with maybe a 256gb ssd and i'm also thinking about taking 4gb for the vram but that might be overkill? And what os should i use, 7 or 8? i will use the computer for about 50/50 gamaing and cg. Andreas:…
sltrOlsson - Yeah he does look creepy. I found the trickiest part about sculpting a baby was to make him look like a baby (hehe). Seriously though, I went through a few iterations until I got this one. They kept coming out looking like 12 - 13 year olds. Here I'm trying to aim for a 2 year old. I think when I have clothing…
4k and 8k is possible nowadays but you really rarely use it because its very expensive so that its possible doesn't mean its optimal. My another thought is that you should really do some texture atlasing. Anyways, making "ps1 graphics" in UE4 doesn't really make sense, it will still have huge system requirements, because…
Or like Substance Painter but working in 2d space with pixel snap precision . Something simple like 2x2 ? Vector style maybe including vector curves to scatter small things along. With color range selection ? Something for quickly compositing materials from already existing pieces , not even any 3d preview is necessary but…
Nice project! In terms of modeling you have a fairly clean lowpoly mesh, good work here. I think it could use more polys all around since you have very visible facetting, especially on the big round dial in the middle and on the corner piece with where the lanyard is attached. In terms of proportions you have a few errors,…
The system is sent out to every cell phone in the area (this instance, the entire country). It was too fast to get the warning out (for us). The people in Sendai had 5 minutes or less after the quake to get out before the tsunami. I was working on the comp when my cell phone went "WHOOOP!! WHOOP!!" then BAM!! monitors slid…
a lot of very interesting and difficult concepts to consider when you talk about games and movies based on war, but you've covered a lot of it well. i agree with the sentiment that a lot of these games would have a lesser guilt factor if they were packaged with more historical information--but by the same token, they are…
