Re: Finally getting a GBA SP
Please, excuse the Hi-jack here, but have any of you guys used gba roms? I just discovered the use of a flash card and usb cable and how easy it is to load several free gba games onto one temp. flash card for gameplay. And they run somewhere from 59.00 (256) to 94.00 (512) us dollars. Of course that is assuming any of the… -
Re: question about tablets
Yes, buttons are only on one side. But rumor has it you can disconnect the cord, flip the tablet around, and plug the cord in on the other side if you're a lefty. And supposedly out at the end of the month (March 25th is the date that is flying around right now. . . anyone say GDC?) -
Re: arsh's maya questions
cool, checked it out, and its just a .fx file, so that means maya can view fx files in the viewport. i dont really like just using blinn shaders cause it will look nothing like that in game, so using .fx files is better for tweaking color normal and spec. so maya dosent support realtime updates on textures? another… -
Re: HL2 or Halo 2 Which will be the big seller?
Well, Halo 2 is the sequel to the (IMO awful) only game the XBox had for a long time. HL 2 is the sequel to the mst popular online game available... I'd bet on HL2 since the XBox has a smaller userbase (GTASA was on the PS2 which outsold the XBox by about 250%) and because of the CS junkies. I don't have an XBox so I'm not… -
Re: Robo
Style: Is awsome, I love the look and over all shape, It has great character and weight. Big, bulky, robot mech lookin thing, who doesn't love that =) I think the one thing that is holding the model back is the skin and the unwrap job. I feel your pain about unwrapping. oh the pains of a day wasted playing tetris with UV… -

Re: Maxscript skin help
Yay! That sorted it. In the interest of meing nice, here is the script too. Why did I write this? Well, max 7 has a skin weight mirror facility. Unfortunatley the scale I have to work at means that the threshold value is often too small, and I always have a few weights that won't copy - 0.001 is too small, 0.002 is too… -
Re: Devil's Rejects
pogonip and pak: shut up and stop flirting so much. if you want to have an argument, send nasty emails to each other and make it personal, not this constant gumming up of discussions in a public forum. i love it when people threaten to never talk to someone again or never visit some internet forum again because they never… -
Re: Detail / Micro Diffuse maps
Well, there are no standards for normal maps so you can't really say what does what. A quote I just googled up from blender's homepage. So if your implementation only uses 128-255 then normalizing something that is off the scale would most likely push values below 128 and get you into the minus range. If it uses the full… -
Re: diffuse, specular, normal maps all the time!?
Budgets will always be there, and i'm agree with you, they matter a lot. But just wanted to say that with the hardware we have (not all ppl) we have better and better budgets to get nicer things. We should not be always with the same budgets (1500-3000 polygons and 1024 textures). That's all. To know how work the SSS…
