Yeah i noticed the odd design for a kids movie some time ago. Just asking cos i'm interested in your take on it, but do you really think that they deliberately played on that? I mean the difference between them is that Starwars is a kids / family movie, part of a gigantic kids movie franchise...

Thats a respectable rig but you really needed an 800 watt psu to run that system? quite probably a 400 watt should have been able to handle it with no errors. It sounds probable that in effect, the 650 was simply defective... were you advised to go and drain your wallet on a 800? A good name...

Alien is a horror movie that did nearly everything right, unfortunately when they try something like this today, they show too much of the monster, pace it too fast or do really well but then destroy the tension with an ill thought out comedy moment (event horizon) i think a lot of...

Last time i got space fever was from some Arcturian poontang... Oh wait, you meant something else...

Ok well perhaps some other ideas or a combination of, will at least minimise the effect... I think it would be impossible to eliminate entirely without a lot of blur.

see through the ship? you mean you made the entire texture transparent? thats not what i meant.

better that they do show up, otherwise someone would suffer a horrific overdose, jump off a roof and die, get hit by a car and die or be stabbed to death. And umm, wow Moach, that you would want that to happen, speaks volumes about how unhappy people must be over there with things.

he could try that and you're right it might help to reduce strobing for that pattern, but just as a rule you're better off keeping textures as sharp as possible and make the best possible use of every single pixel. If you blur a very small repeating pattern (the carbon effect here might only be...

I'm not totally sure what the message is here... Is it, "Don't do drugs or you country will be invaded by the entire US military."

Yes, again imagine that the cylinder is made of paper, then unfold it and imagine the shape that you would get - it would be a tall and thin rectangular shape, not short and fat. But really you should be doing it by method 1 as i describe. Because the way you're doing it, you'll end up with...

I don't think there's anything wrong, its just doing what it does... if you apply a square texture, to a non-square projection (if you unfolded that mesh as if a paper model you'd end up with a rectangle) so essentially there are 2 ways to fix this 1, dont use the entire texture - paint in a...

Simple answer, no. As for your q, if you're using photoshop then explore 'blend if' - google it. You can also just erase uneeded areas by hand, make colour based selections and so on and these are universal to any decent image editor.

It does appear there's a shift (at least with pc gaming) to give the core away for free and charge for content. It's been adopted i think first by these MMO's and smaller companies. Interesting to see the model spread to more mainstream big budget titles. It also effectively kills any second...

If you're after any critique, then perhaps tone the pattern down - basically so you don't get that strobing / shimmering effect (that weave is probably not the best choice for a texture, graphically speaking, though antialiasing and / or texture filtering should reduce that) reducing the weave...

A couple more mainstream sims have gone 'freeware' (albeit in a stripped down form) this time in a bid to attract new customers and fill up online multiplayer servers (as opposed to it sometimes being 'abandonware' like falcon 4, which is not really abandonware, but owned by certain members of...

whoa now, you really don't need a brand new 500 dollar GTX graphics card to run a 35k model in orbiter now do you? Just a slight exaggeration i think there;) These days a very cheap older card will happily run DX9 or dx7 with something like the XR5 (which is more than 100k at least) at a half...

is that up or down? It should give you 2 results... download is always higher than up. If so, sounds like a pretty average upload speed for the UK, i get about .5 mb/s Who are you with? 0.3mb/s download would be pretty awful though, no way you could for example stream video in real time, even...

Are they safe, or is it just that for the most part (since an accident in the US or anywhere has effects outside that country), the world has been fairly lucky? And what is the impact of just one serious accident? consequences that are with us for millennia, not to mention the gigantic clean up...

Just a silly name i picked for a flight sim many years ago (falcon 4) Funny how these late night decisions stay with you... :)
