Mr.Mic - considering that unreal 3 , your engine of choice uses a mesh rendering system that only renders what you see , not a complete model even if you only see parts of it , the overhead on a finely crafted 3ds max modeled terrain would be negligible . and from my imagination i would say that unreal 3 terrain is still quad based and fixed , so i think the versatility of polygonal modeling woould be a better choice . think it over .

I thought that Unreal 3 still uses an object-level occlusion culling system, since the overhead for a per-polygon occlusion culling system requires more overhead than just allowing a little overdraw. But just like Unreal Engine 2, heightmap terrain is the exception, because it's designed to be huge.

It still requires less memory to store a single Z value for a 2d grid of vertices, than have that same mesh stored in X,Y,Z format. It also allows for higher polygon throughput for the same detail, because two of the vertex values are already defined.

hmm , i didnt think of it like that , i am just concerned with the smoothness of the terrain because game-editor based terrain has notoriously been rather angular .

on second though , maybe i could export the terrain ( its been done in previous ubi games using unreal editor for optimization) and work on top of it for static mesh detail ? ill get cracklin' on research for finding out how to export terrain now .

well since you know who i am , and you know i am wishing to join , would you submit to me a test .

i was tested before but things were very disorganised and i had no direct feedback from the reviewer of the work , so i ask that we have an organised test if possible .

also i ask that you give me a fairly long time ( not a long time ) to refine my polygon count restriction habits because i am used to modeling for all sorts of requirements , including web graphics and many many games .

i will get faster as i learn how much detail is needed and when i fully grasp my full efficiency in modeling just for you .

k yeah , i been a paranoid asshole to poor dizzle but i am here to help , so if you guys could discuss the test idea , that would be great .

One big fucking vote for no. Get this bitch out of here.

if iservealot has something to say about what i said let him speak pussy .

you probly dont even know what i was talkin about , and then again dizzle is spanish so he probly avoided me to tell you to kick me so he doesnt feel like a tard .

but the way it should be is dizzle can handle himself , but yeah i noticed all your hug and love threads ine ubi forums so i guess hes probly busy preparing nude pictures for you to whack off to .

I guess this is the very reason no one wants to work with you.

If this bitch hadn't already proved he's stupid as fuck, he might actually be funny.

reason3d,

The PS team is currently very cohesive, there really is no flaming or tension among the team members even if there is a disagreement.

Everyone understands the common goal and is willing to compromise enough of their own ego to maintain the cohesion.

None of us, regardless of skill level, are going to risk that atmosphere by accepting people on the team that create tension.

If 3d graphics are truly your goal, then you will easily be able to create a map for PS once UT 3.0 editor is released. Other then that, your reputation is based on how you present yourself, past and present...and people recognized you by that alone.
