you should give this thread a better topic name (add 3dc/compression whatever) http://ati.amd.com/developer/compressonator.html dont have it installed, but maybe it has a modelviewer built-in other than that the nvidia/id article does show the difference well, dont you think? At least its more objective to compare…
@fr0gg1e, If you can post an image or two of the part of your graph in question, that would help me better target some specific suggestions. In general though, I use a lot of directional warping. Often I'll warp one frequency by another 1-4 times before I blend. And sometimes I'll warp that FG layer before blending too.…
@SHEPEIRO - I really need to get an IPS LCD screen, my current TFT Samsung makes getting accurate color like trying to hit a moving target haha. My other Samsung looks completely different with much cooler colors. Anyway, I continue to tweak the lights for sure. Last night I bumped both the sunlight and the fill light up…
jzero: considering the scruples or lack thereof in the corporate marketplace, I agree with accepting their pitch by continuing to read the curves beyond the company's logo. To compare and contrast, a commercial that's been running on tv down here in oz for the last year or two depicts a guy trying to remember his friends'…
Since the workflow above had flaws in it, I updated it below based on what you guys added: -put together rough concept and collect reference -model dense enough control mesh -unwrap (for better results when editing in 2d) -export to Zbrush -make poly mesh 3d, assign groups, GUV tiles (if not unwrapped), and create a morph…
The top is a bit different from what she's wearing in the movie, I tried photoshopping a bunch of different tops in photos, and that one was the 'least worst'. And the jeans, yeah that's on my shortlist too. I did the hair to a certain point then left it cos I knew I could come back to it later and repaint it a bit nicer.…
I HATE it when I call someone on poly waste and they say "oh yeah but my target was XXXX and I'm XXXX under it". Wasted polys are wasted polys and they need to be cut. SO SAYTH TEH VIG! That plane has seams you just can't see them because of the angle of the shot and the res of the picture. The seams are always there…
yeah target is not standard xhtml anymore thanks for the comments, the data is just from my normal site, I've written far too much about my images Hopefully it will be random, so a different image will take its place every time. About the gutter, I'll have to defend myself on this point, as the site is made up from 4…
I think you get out of a mod project what the leader puts in to it. If you have a dedicated, organized project leader that keeps morale high, quality solid, and gets everyone moving the same direction on the same page, you will produce something everyone can be proud of. Most of the people on my team are working on the…
Couple points here. Noobie McNoobstien is'nt searching for the words 'player models'. He is searching for Quake 4 Goku Saiyin 16. Another Issue is that most people are running lower than average specs in Q4. Multiplayer is such a system hog, most players i've been on with are running in 'low' mode. Meaning they care more…
