Re: weekly challanges
Well, I don't think we really need a forum on FGA (but we could easily set one up), and we actually have a really nice model database system, but due to at least some sort of rudimentary quality control, we still insist on having a moderator upload the content. But you can just sent me the stuff, I have moderator… -
Re: maya mentalray final gather 3+ bounces possible?
I'll run a couple tests with the scene setup you mention, and I'm ready admit I'm wrong since I haven't done any serious mental ray work for at least a year and a half, but I'm still going to bet FG + GI is faster. You need to tweak your settings a fair bit though. With pure FG, you'll end up turning up your FG points and… -
Re: Future of texturing and 3d modeling in gaming industry
I do wonder, if a company like ten24 could expand their entire bodyscan library to encompass so many characters, we could make indiscernable crowds, with full FACS. http://www.3dscanstore.com/ The problem after this point, is mapping the animation and blend shapes. Obviously this won't work without FACs, and the… -
Re: Help with buying new IPS monitor for Texturing work
Similar specs to the dell, but the HP has a 6 bit+FRC panel. This means it isn't true 8 bit and does a sort of dithering to approximate 8-bit, which can result in fine noise. Saying that, I have a 6-bit+FRC as my secondary monitor and it's perfectly fine. Still a lot better than a TN panel. So if it's significantly… -
Re: A few questions :)
The Joan of Arc tutorial is a popular one. http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish...orials_joan.htm Rendering to a palette is possible: set Render Output to use the FLC format, then in the Options you can tell it to use a palette from a GIF or BMP or whatever, but then you have to convert from FLC to your game format.… -
Re: Programers equivalent of polycount?
Depending on what board you hang out at, TGC (The Game Creators) can be a charming forum. TGC makes Dark Basic, which is basically (pun intended) BASIC with DirectX. It attracts the younger and more immature crowd, but there is a board for more advanced languages and there are some pretty brilliant people there, including… -
Re: Max Payne 3
Game works and player perfectly. The only gripes I have with it are A) the cutscenes are lower res and lower frame rate than the silky smooth never miss a beat gameplay (Everything maxed, joy!), and that for some odd, stupid reason, the game has shit loads of pixelated textures all over the place... Its almost like they… -
Re: Own or Rent?
Own... or should I say Bank Pwned. I bought in a good neighbourhood which has actually increased in value during the GFC so if the worst ever happened hopefully I'd at least break even. In general Australia's been far less effected by the GFC than many other countries so house prices have remained pretty stable and we have… -

Re: Making a soldier_WIP
Holy shit this is amazing, you even got the 550 cord tie-down on the helmet band. This is seriously impressive, you paid a lot of attention to detail. I'm in the Army myself and I can't see anything wrong that you've made. One thing you might want to do though is make a FLC that goes over the IOTV. I'm not sure if there…
