Most games these days are produced to appeal to the lowest common denominator, the Wal-Mart shoppers, if you will. It's not that developers don't want to adavance gameplay and come up with new ideas, but when their game hits alpha and goes into focus group testing and all the testers get stuck at a specific point becuase…
I think it's a fantastic idea. A fresh, simple modelling program taking user feedback seriously. -So the obvious first thing is : if you really want to make it a kickass app, stick around here on polycount and listen to what people have to say :P You'll turn your program into gold! (see the xnormal feedback pages) As for…
It's funny, I for one never had the dream of beign the game designer like cliffy b and the rest. Well maybe for a year or two way back when I was a kid but really my dream was always to make awe inspiring worlds for people to escape too. I love video games and digital art and wanted to do that. Designing a game could be…
That is simply NOT true. The used game market has had a HUGE impact on over all game sales. Are you confirming a bias by any chance? Consider this, Game Stop alone reports between 8-10 BILLION US Dollars in annual revenue and they also report that most of that revenue comes from used games. The publisher/developer can sell…
Looks really good! Hope you'll finish this one. :p I think the previous pose without the tail wrapped around the stick works better as an image. On the last one the stick goes "down" and follows the direction of the back and his left leg. On the previous on the stick goes up, wich creates a tension with the block that the…
I'm not trying to make a Maya vs Max vs Blender thread for the millionth time, I swear. I'm working on a UDK based project and was wondering if you have suggestions/ experience on which program you find plays well with UDK the most. This is my first time doing character animation for games and decided to try out the CAT…
The best addon I ever bought was Pie Menu Editor by Raoao for Blender. It's only $12 and is easily worth ten times that. It obviously allows you to create pie menus but it goes much much further and allows you to fully customise UI, macros, sticky keys, stack keys, hide default ui elements and so much more with no…
Most of the 1155 mobos support up to 32gb of ram via 4x 8gb sticks. 8gb sticks are crazy expensive ($300+ for a single stick), but 16gb via 4x 4gb isn't exactly a small amount either. You wont see tripple channel memory again until LGA2011 boards are released somewhere between Q3 this year and Q1 2012
OP registered a complaint "Sarcastic and disrespectful". Please accept my apologies, I agree I was being sarcastic with my "viola", and that's not a great first experience for new members. I clearly need to do better. I think I should have explained the reasons behind that kind sentiment (without expressing it) ... why it…
Yeah, things are not looking up for the ol' US of A. Bernanke is basically insane. He has reserve governors voting against his plans-- I don't think that happened with Greenspan. At least not recently. Bernanke thinks we can spend our way out of debt, which works sometimes, but only if you have something worth investing…
