Re: Developping on Nintendo DS
Butcher and Mop are right with regards to the models. Texture-wise, you'd only use Targas if you need to imbed an alpha channel for transparency. Otherwise, you should use a bmp with a pallette of 256 colours, or ideally 16 if you can get away with it. Texture memory is extremely limited on the DS, so you always need to be… -
Re: Mental Ray Error
I get this all the time. It varies from model to model but it always happens to me when my AO samples were set too high. My latest character didn't like the samples set at 128 so toning it down to 96 worked. Lame IMO because I'd like to set everything to 256 if I could. -
Re: So I finally got a new vc and played Doom III
Hey I did the same thing, 'cept I've been playing HL2 for the first time. Freakin' awesome. I really really really want to work on a game like that. Oh and I got an nVidia 5700LE with 256 megs. I don't know much about vid cards but it does a decent job on my sad old pc. -

Re: Looking for Dimensions
I see your point, So based on my models in scene.My roof could've been 256.Because the player won't get very close to the roof to see the detail.My walls 1024.And my sign should have been based on the actually size of my sign in units?maybe 512 because the player can get close to the sign? -
Re: Texture to fit into uv template! 3ds or PS
WHY must it stay 1280? Also, you may find problems if you size your texture sheet to fit a specific element of the texture, as many engines do NOT like it if a template does not have sides that are powers of two - 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. -
Re: WIP : Arenanet envi test + UDK environment
yea all of the textures have to fit into the two 1024's. Right now I have 6 512's and the rest 256's. I also decided that my house needed an environment to sit in so I started making all of the assets yesterday. -

Re: Another 3ds Max 8 Uvw Problem
Reset Xform, then re-export? Resolution is controlled in your video card setup, somewhere in Max's Preferences (sorry don't have Max here now). There's an option in the DirectX dialog named something like "Nearest Resolution" next to radio buttons for 256, 512, etc. -
Re: Music creation programs
I just downloaded musagi after reading a bit about it in a recent tigsource post. Haven't really made my way around the interface properly, but it seems pretty full-featured for what it is, and it's completely free (Reaper is $50 for non-commercial, $225 for commercial, and not free).
