Re: [Portfolio] benjamin sauder
That replaces my current "Portfolio that I'll copy if I ever shall make my own" I love the color choices. Would never have thought that these colors fit together, yet it all makes sense and looks cohesive. Very clean, focussed on the actual artwork - which is topnotch of course ;) Extremely fond of the DS work section… -
Re: re zremesher R3 pacth
Yeah Ravenslayer you have symmetry turned off and maybe you had it off for the sculpting. Zremesher does a great job. Here is what I got from p2 with a dynamesh. The topo isnt that important at this stage its just variation in res and to get sub ds on a dynamesh. No muss no fuss no spirals! Its real magic on trouble areas… -
Re: 3D in games. Do you see faults when you play?
That latest diablo3 monk video also had a shitload of clipping errors... Im just glad even the 'big boys' make mistakes sometimes :) One thing I do often do is kind of the opposite from noticing errors: When I see something well done or a cool shader I try to figure out how they did it (water in bioshock, prince of persia… -
Re: Benefits of modeling in Tris
unless your working on mobile devices, then this whole discussion is almost pointless. geometry is so cheap now i cant remember the last time i even looked at the actual polycount, i just make it look good and be as conservative as possible.. saving a few hundred polies by using tris doesn't really add up to much. its… -
Re: Tips on using vertex colors to light levels??
if you develop nds games like in your example, you just can mulitply vertex colors once. therefore everything will just get darker. this kind of sucks, but i haven't found a good solution, as there are no add modes. all you could do is paint some of your textures in white and greyish details and then color your level just… -
Re: Square-Enix licenses UE3
[ QUOTE ] Multiplatform? I have my doubts. What does that mean for them in terms of extra developement costs? Their games already take 4 - 6 years to make for a single platform. [/ QUOTE ] 5 years working on a game for a single audience. 6 years working on a game for two audiences. Simple. They've already ditched the PS2… -
Re: fixing a psp

Found a multi charging thing down at jbhifi for about $15 tho and it seems to be charging stuff :) so now i can charge my psp, ipod and my non-existant ds all at once... onto the really hard part, waiting for… -
Hardest boss fights
So, after 45 minutes, about 15 deaths, 150 health potions and much kiting, I finally finished off the boss at the end of the third act of Titan Quest - so not even the last boss. Seriously, he's a motherfucker. Then I got to thinking - what other boss fights were so difficult, so maddeningly frustrating, they got us… -
Re: rock tutorials
i come from a ds and wii background. the way i do this is to make a tileable piece and then deform it with either a bend or path deform and some soft selection manipulation to fit the necessary environment. the tricky thing is the shader. best results come with vertex ao to give the relust depth. of course you get even… -
Re: Mobile Gaming: 'No Reason' It Won't Replace Consoles, says Developer
While smartphones are pretty liekley to replace the handheld market (DS, PSP, etc) if they haven't already, the concole market is a completely different experience from mobile gaming which draws it's audience for differrnet reasons alltogether. I feel like this quote from the post sums it up pretty well: To add to that…
