Re: Is it time to make the change to Vista?
If you're going to get it, definitely get the OEM version. You qualify when you buy just about anything from newegg. As for the bit version, check with your hardware makers first. See if they have 64bit Vista drivers. If so, then go with the 64bit. Also, make sure you get at least the home premium. Don't get the business… -
Re: Quake4 first impressions
Anyone noticed that when you zoom in with the MG but not the RG in MP the crosshairs are in the wrong place? Hmnn seems to be only when you change resolutions so i guess it is a bug (but small at least)? No transporter or other delayed powerups in MP either unfortunatly. It could be a pain making weapons for it as they may… -
Re: Interview Advice
If you have to travel a long way to your interview I would take the tour on the day before the interview and have a room in a hotel or what ever. You will be much more flexible, in case something goes wrong (flight delay, car breakdown) you still have enough time to make the appointment. The other advantage of this is: You… -
Re: Flash 3D Model Viewer
No, I lost my job a week or two ago. So I've been forced to delay development on this little tidbit. (working on getting my portfolio up, already a thread up here about it) I haven't given up on it entirely. I was actually planning on revisiting it shortly in order to make it one of my portfolio pieces. (a good example of… -
Re: Cloth in games ?
Simple cloth sim is possible in games. One of our titles here at work uses it, but it requires a pretty big engineering investment, a lot of troubleshooting, and I think it really is only worth it for A) something like you mentioned where the main character has some important design element that really calls for the sim,… -
Re: Underworld (collaboration)
For the restraints you gave yourself, that's pretty damn slick work, Adam. If you could have spared some more texture/poly space, I would have a few suggestions: - Where the rubble meets the ground - decals of smaller rubble might helped blend it. Right now it's very clinical in appearence. - A lot of the bevels you have… -
Re: The newest VG character...the King of Burgers!
While I rarely find myself in a Burger King (as in mayyybe once a year) I don't know if I'll go out of my way simply for these games, although I think they will be fun, like that Chex FPS that came in the cereal boxes so many years ago... Keyser you pay for advertising all the time anyways, anything you purchase pays for… -
Re: File formats for textures
Tga is ok just archaic because of 4 channels max and 8 bit. So for any asset your are doing you have to save lots of extra files to save height and masks . it's annoying and makes your typically already super complicated asset management more complex. Ideally it should be open source format where you could keep all… -
Re: Exporting height map from substance, to use as noise maker in Zbrush (Problem)
Zbrush is a weird strange thing. Providing a few unique and fantastically handy features revolutionized CG and at the same time tremendously , monstrously inconvenient in evry other small feature and every interface detail . Through years turning into undecipherable mess of outdated tools and a pile of information rubbish… -
Re: [UE4] Fish Tank Living Room
New update with more props and lighting. It seems that there hasn't been much change from last week, but between the skirting board, the storytelling assets and the tutorials "how to lighting" it has taken me all week. Tomorrow I start with decals and vertex painting for the floor, walls and ceiling. To the next "version"…
