Re: Looking for good reads on design docs and concepts
while attending GDC'05, i attended a presentation by Michael Fitch (Creative Manager, THQ, Inc.) that was titled "Pitfalls of the Working Lead Designer" and felt it presented rather valuable topics; brain fodder for the game designer. Michael Fitch's website (at the office): http://www.micrysweb.com/office/officeindex.html… -
Re: reset xform bites again
IIRC, Jon Watte is the dev for that exporter, real helpful guy. Reset Xform doesn't affect the UVs at all, it only helps reset the transform data for the model, which can get screwy if you do non-uniform scaling or if you mirror the model (which is basically just a negative scale). If your devs are saying texture… -
Re: Pierce Brosnan - "Goodbye 007"
frankly most people i know from england don't really give a rats about scotland or wales and don't even tend rto think about em much. and as for northern ireland, the ost we used to think of them was 'oh shit, another IRA bomb' so meh. me thinks ror's one of those militant types who be pissed off at someone no matter where… -
Re: V trailer
alright, Vig, out of 5 replies, 3 posts from you should be enough to express your discontent with both the comic and the forthcoming film. it's certainly not my favorite Moore work, but if you recall his introduction to the graphic novel, i think it's a rather apt film to be making for the time. it was born out of his… -
Re: zbrush annoyances.
What you can try is, if you have an iteration of that tool, let say, tool02 and you are working on tool06, you can export your basemesh from tool02 then reimport it and append it to merge it in tool06. then subdivide the base as much as your more recent / detailed mesh is (let say you re at subdiv level 5, then you divide… -
Re: Lost Coast is out
exp: i agree, it certainly doesn't seem like it should have taken them this long, at least from the level design standpoint. but then it's a question of how many people were actively working on it at any given time. likely, most of the company is focused on Aftermath, the commercial add-on follup to HL2, with only a few… -
Re: hillary clinton introduces new bill
You know what gets me? The game industry is going to need more and more political connections. Yet, the only two choices they will see is black and white (rep vs dem). Yet, the problem is neither of these two sides respects the entertainment freedom. SO in instead of saying investing their political strong arm into a third… -
Re: presenting characters in UDK
The first thing would be to check if your normal map properties are set correctly. (importing a normal as a regular texture screws up the shading iirc) then I would recommend to start with a very simple object with very obvious normals too see how it behaves. You could very well have a flipped green channel at the moment.… -
Re: Plagiarism
Considering the fact that I've been working on fracture for about 6 months now (via Exis Inc - Contractors), I can tell you a few small things. 1 - The characters were designed by Josh Nizzi, and you can see them on his website. He's an awesome artist and he does not need to copy anybody. 2 - Fracture is a great project… -
Re: Laptop Question + Reintroduction
I just got a Fujitsu Xa2528 to replace another 17" that got fried in a recent storm. Things to watch for.... proper drivers, I've had to use forceware to get proper OpenGL support on the Xa (8600M GS gfx). This one will be hard to avoid, see if you can get a 'matt' screen. You need min 2GB, if you go over that it's…
