The one level with no lighting sucks, theres one redeeming quality to it: the lightning, which looks really coooool, except the normals maps they're using there suck too, so whenever something gets dynamically lit it just loosk really fake. and WTF is up with that ugly detail noise texture? wow its like everything in the…
Thanks a lot for the advice. Aircraft models I have made range anywere between 50,000 to 250,000 for IN GAME ASSETS. Working this low will be a fun challenge, but I started making aircraft with only 2000 polygons back in IL2. Looking forward to it!
Do you know if either of these two have these functions I list below? I was told that this is what I need (sorry, should've posted that first): Does it allow for saving as 256 colour images? Note: if a package says it can save "web safe files" or *.gif files, then it can do this. Can the package save PCX and BMP files?…

:) it's been sat in one spot and hasn't moved an inch. Had it for about a year and a half, stays on when I use the PC in the day and is switched off at night. I didn't check out the reviews before buying it and there are a lot of similar problems. Other than movement, I guess there's no difference in reliability between an…
[ QUOTE ] Tri flow? Irrelevant. I don't know of anyone who pays any serious attention to it. [/ QUOTE ] Has it been that long since you worked on the PS2? I know I spend a little bit of time flipping my triangular edges on sub 2500 tri models for maximum shape and deformation, and I can definately tell a difference in…
In whatever case you want. Throw any disk reader in and good to go. I actually put together the same setup on newegg.ca, WITH the case you have listed and it came up to $1089 before shipping. You might also look at the i5 2500. It's really considered a sweet spot for CPUs right now. With the i7, you're paying an extra $100…
