Actually, just got answered: from the author: Hi! There's a need to pack textures as tightly as possible in order to have as few texture fetches in shaders and less (texture) memory. There is a trad-eoff with quality however, some textures need high quality, and others don't. Normal maps typically need high quality as…
Here's the final version of my Europolis Mega City. It took 175 meshes, 700 textures(including normals), and 480 hours but it's finally done. The major changes I've made since I last updated have been a complete lighting overhaul which drastically increased the overall level quality; added tons of particle effects, and…
Hey Inquisitive_Scholar nice start, the proportions of the shield seem spot on although you may want to bend it slightly so that it has a curve to it (the amount depends on how stylized you want it to look). Modelling wise, the first thing that jumps out at me is the lower poly count around the edge of the shield, this is…
Actually any card that does DOT3 bump mapping will do normal mapping AFAIK, its specular that you need pixel shaders for. I ran ORB(open render bump http://engineering.soclab.bth.se/tools/177.aspx On my geforce 1 when i had it tho it was very very slow. Theres also a program to emulate geforce3/4/5/6 features as well you…

I'm making it on about $17k with a tech support job. I've got some family members here and there in a similar boat. BUT - I'm in a small city in Iowa, have no college loans, and have been planning for this lifestyle for the past several years. I'm decent with money so I'm doing fine at the moment, but if say...my car took…
I really wish I could have purchased the chair linked in page 1,was awesome & only 170$,problem is that having that coming from US would have costed me 25$ expedition + 7$ per every lbs (400$) + custom duties to my country... pretty much if I was able to afforde that option, I could simply save some more & purchase an…
Yea. SSD is absolutely one of the best investments i made recently. Everything just runs 2-3x faster and all apps launch very fast and as well. I had a Q6600 as well but needed to update recently. I had 8gb ram and frequently I ran into insufficient memory so I had to upgrade that as well. so I got a new CPU, mobo, ram and…
