Re: Quicktime compression formats?
yeah, Squeeze is awesome! I tried it at a friends house. compressed my demo reel to 16mb quicktime. I was very impressed! An after Effects tip for rendering. Hold down Shift+CTRL and goto preferences. while still holding down those buttons, click the pulldown menu, and you will see a new preference "Shecret" This enables… -
Re: I think my Monitor is dying. Suggestions?
While I'm all for LCDs, most artists who work a lot with color will tell you to get a CRT. Anyway, I have a pair of Sony 17" LCDs and they've served me well for over two years now. I think my contrast is 600:1 and response time (the refresh rate) is 16ns. The only downside is that they're analog monitors with no DVI… -
Re: Report problems with the new forums here
Got some dead links here, pointing to the old forum. http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=743167&postcount=161 I'd like to put those links into the wiki, if I could just remember which threads they pointed to. :( Is there some sort of secret code for converting old thread IDs to the new IDs? I have a bunch of URLs… -
Re: PSP Go - Thoughts..?
Protect the screen not the buttons. Smaller screen? Maybe less battery consumption? 16gb of memory, that's pretty cool, but how are they going to use it? Tether to your cell phone? It's been about 2 years since I last used my PSP. -
Re: Canabalt - awesome flash game
(Shrug) Sure. There's nothing stopping you from loading images of any resolution into Flixel. It uses basic square sprites for its collision detection and level editing. But you aren't actually required to use those constraints for actual rendering. And you always have the option of loading in individual images as sprites… -
Re: Best Consumer Digital Camera for Artists?
Well first off, I use Canon, so my recommendations will be based off of that. Nikon and Pentax make great cameras and have pretty equivalent systems, generally when i was researching my camera, I found Canon had better image quality and less noise at the same price point as other systems. Also canon EF lenses are very… -
Re: bungie: 'Secondhand sales are evil'
My point about books was just that they are both "experiences." Once you've read it, you've gotten your money's worth and it's quite common for people to loan, give, or even re-sell them. Not too many people get bent out of shape about that. There is the physical quality and value of the book to consider, but essentially… -
Re: Animal Crossing Goodness...
Red Turnips! I planted mine last Sunday, 8 or 9 days ago. It cos 1,000 bells and sold for 16,000 -
Re: PSP Vehicle.
From what I've learn from ps2 you should avoid triangulate to let the engine export proper strips (bunches of poly defined with a reduced amount of vertices). The more you triangulate the less freedom you let to the exporter to create those strips of triangles. Your texture maps still seem "big". On ps2 the optimum size… -
Re: What is your experience with "...." company?
Company: The Columbus Dispatch Position: Paper Deliverer Length of Employment: 4 months Compensation: About $160.00 a month plus tips. Benefits: None Overall Impression: Getting up at the crack of dawn to bundle and deliver newspapers to cranky geriatrics was not worth the money. I should have mowed lawns instead. Hope…
