Re: Introducing the GeForce GTX 680 GPU
Geforce256. Infact the mass marketed geforce2mx, geforce4mx held gaming back a bit and made it last longer in the market, even the pisspoor fx5200 made the geforce2 last a bit longer because the fx series was popular and slow at any shader operations, keeping DX7-level hardware support longer until sometime like 2007, the… -
Re: What part from my short film should I put in my demo reel?
Very nice short film! If it was me I would take 0:29~0:35 + 0:45~0:52 + 1:05~1:10... for a total around ~15 sec. short enough for reel, and still captures the whole story and enough time each cut to appreciate the animation. Use the full render, the FX doesn't detract at all from the animation; people like to see final… -
Re: Skyrim Alchemy Table progress thread
Good progress, I would add some more subdivisions into the silhouette of the table, it needs more polys to remove the jagged shapes. Also maybe consider removing the orange/red flame aspect of the burner texture, and make the space inside hollow geo, and use light / fx for that effect. Lastly, I would expect that those… -
Re: Prebuilt PC for 3D Modeling
After a bit of research, it looks like I will have to custom build this... A combination of a AMD FX 8350 Black Edition(8 Core) with a 1 or 2GB Nividia video card for starters looks like the best route to go. Nividia required for Viewport 2.0. I don't work with any scenes, just individual models rendered out, so I don't… -
Re: Question about 3Ds Max UV Mapping with multiple UV Maps
Does the model actually have 2 UV channels on it? Tools menu, Channel Info, to see if there's data in each. Add a UVW Unwrap modifier to verify the UV layout matches the texture layout. To see the texture in the Viewport, use Show Map in Viewport. Max viewport doesn't show 2 UVs at the same time, unless you use a specific… -
Re: What order to watch Star Wars?
I just finished watching episode IV on VHS while I ate dinner awhile ago, took like 2 weeks watching 10min at a time, and it still was so awesome. Been quite a few years since I had seen it and felt like a new movie. Love the old series but I do really like episode III as well. The fx in III are awesome and so is the art… -
Re: Vertex normal error in Maya
Maya's realtime display of mirrored UVs on normalmaps (or objects with negative scale) can get pretty funky at times. Chances are it will probably look alright in a game engine. Try viewing it in a different app (like XNormal) or try to get a custom .fx or .cg shader working in the Maya viewport, they might handle it… -
Re: XRUCIFIX: Help us develop your Nightmares
Anything that I posted here is free for grabs; which includes the SpinBlade. I have no problem with showcasing your work on your protfolio. [ QUOTE ] does your engine support selecting a diffuse color for the diffuse and then a different color for the specular? and does it support reflection/envrionment maps? [/ QUOTE ]… -
Re: DirectX10 is so yesterday
DX10 hardware was already obsolete from the start. It's not fast enough to take advantage of what makes DX10 better anyways. That's why buying into a new version of DX on the first generation is so stupid -- it's always the next set of cards that are worth getting. nvidia examples: -GeForce FX (5xxx) was crap, 6xxx line… -
