Re: Sketchbook: davidosterlind
Doing an lowpoly assignment in school with specific requirements: Max 500 tris with a diffuse texture at 128px. My concept is a main character for a handheld console of sorts. Its an ostrich that shoots Laser from its eyes! He is mad tired of all the other birds flying around, mocking him for his useless wings, so he… -
Re: Building a System-Most important specs?
Yeah, most I7's have a very good price/performance ratio. You can go with an I5 but you literally get what you pay for. Usually with CPUs there is an insane price curve but the mid-range I7's have been very good value for money lately. The high end I7's are another story though. The diff between an I5 and I7 is $100, and… -
Re: Xnormal AO artifacts
when I tried reloading my HP .obj in Zbrush I got the popup: "The imported mesh contains 17 unused 3D Points :O Is there a way to check for these types of artifacts manually inside of a program? Decimated the mesh to about 500k poly's and made a new bake, still artifacts :/ Here are the new meshes (included a 200k HP)… -
Re: Seemless normal map on a cube?
SCRUPLES Off course it is :-) The cube is the most simple example we can get I guess but after that, it can relates to a more complex mesh. I was only trying to get a perfect result and then, I could apply this technique on a real bake. Thanks for testing this. I think its pretty clear now. OBSCURA You're absolutely right… -
Re: Veterans and Aspiring: What does your dream Game Art degree look like?
You talking about FZD? I've read grad reviews. It's a good school no doubt but apparently like many for-profit they'll accept almost everyone who can pay...what, 45-50K for 1 year (plus cost of living in not so cheap Singapore). I think it's unfair to judge those who didn't finish the program 'cuz more than likely they're… -
Re: Indie RPG with ground breaking engine and physics
They may be able to get close BUT they would be crippled using UDK. You need source code access instead of only a scripting language so you can do advanced things :) . Last i checked this cost 500k for unreal :) This is why a lot of developers extend on Ogre/os engines instead of using udk/unity where you are going to feel… -
Re: Florida schools - my goals
As someone who very recently graduated, and looking at all the debt I'm in, and honestly the education isn't any better than one you can get online. To back it up: Year subscription to Gnomon: 400-500? Too lazy to look it up Year subscription to Digital Tutors: 300-400? Professional critique and networking via polycount:… -
Re: Is this a solid hardware upgrade?
I have an i7 2600k myself and was able to easily OC it to 4.6ghz with the software on my asus motherboard. The thing runs at 36C normally and when at full load no more than 50C and this is all down to the most important thing I bought with my upgrade.… -
Re: Post graduate/Internship question
Hey guys, thanks a lot for the responses! What really puts me off the internship is how shady it seems, or is it common practice not to have any sort of contract at all until after the test week? I mean, worst case scenario I'll spend the week up there and not get the position which means I'm out 500 bucks and a week's… -
Re: Web Hosting Discount for Polycounters
I use dreamhost, but i think about switching, or at least expanding the license to get root access for our coders. However dreamhost is great, unlimited space and unlimited traffic. 500MB @ hole in the wall? Okay if it is just for portfolio this might be enough, but usually one of our projects has a lot of raw data (we're…
