Awesome help guys. Thought I'd throw in my knowledge on the subject too. Power of 2 images sizes in general is a good idea, though not really mandatory any more (with stipulations to older hardware, which you probably wont target anyway.) Square is debatable, but often a good rule to follow also. On today's hardware…
Polyherts, I said what I said because I see the trend you described as well. I also see this very intrusive trend of ads in games getting worse, but the cost doesn't go down. You pay 50 bucks so you can sit your butt down and watch a few ads. Now I mind that I can't skip them, but they are more or less fun to watch at…
It's probably just luck of the draw. I've got a Western Digital at home which has been fine for over 5 years, and a Seagate SATA drive in my desktop here, hopefully it'll last as long. Also got a really old Western Digital one from about 1995 which still works perfectly. It's only 360mb, though
if they call themselves fighting game fans they better have noticed already. it's pretty damn awesome, and I think funner to play than SF4 some ways. It's pretty as hell, too. All of a sudden I'm not as sure about buying KOF12 as I once was.. if anyone wants to play, Sc00t420 is the 360 gamertag.
Congrats Ben and Kees! Its a great addition to Max. Creating complex shaders has been an integral part of my role working on 360 games and although I have been using Unreal Ed at work I found from my time on the beta that it easily compares to the tolls that I am used to. I think allot of game studios are going to be…
yeah, that's what I'd been doing out of laziness haha but it doesn't snap back to editable poly hotkeys, just the main ui ones. But I just tried to read the .kbd file and I think I've got it :D I'll do an example - it would be written in the .kbd file as: 72=15 77 40091 1250838234 which can be broken down to: [hotkey# (for…
Wow thanks for all the replies guys - I'll try and get the next character comp up as soon as I can. Our 11 month old son running around the house looking for crumbs of whatever to eat off the floor.. seems to hog up all my time these days :P bounchfx - I actually call those items 'marketing assets.' Believe it or not, Wii…
My superior internet stalking skills have led me to this page. http://www.phantomefx.com/headline.asp?obj_id=978 Darkest of Days ANNOUNCED Hello Folks! We are happy to announce 'Darkest of Days', an adventure that will allow you to take part in some of Man's most trying times in history. History is not as it seems, people…
If this is intended for game use, I would get rid of those rounded edges and extra polys to smooth it out, and put that sort of detail into a normal map, since most games (PC/360/PS3 etc) support that these days. If it's not intended for real-time use then that's ok. I would make this a base for a high-poly model with all…
