    Gamescom 2017 reaction. The good, the bad, the ugly.

    Overall I gotta agree with those who say that enough with the bitching already, let cig do the innovative things. As for the presentation... The good: Beautiful graphics, and amazing tech that can pull this off! The bad: I had a very rough and low quality connection, so I may have missed it, but...

    Face tracking, my worries and issues.

    Head tracking Just from a face is not so easy. I done it in proper cgi software and if you don't have track points, it's bad. I guess if you have a shiny young face, it will fail a lot more than not, unless you put some markers on it. Interpolating head rotation and position just from eyes...

    Face tracking, my worries and issues.

    First: if they want to integrate this at a later point, they have to rebuild the facian animation system, bones, and rigging. It makes sense to at least build the system that can use it later, so they wont have to rework it later. Second: fully agreed, this was not the time to push this gimmick...

    the i9

    Thanks OP! I never cared much for AMD as their CPUs were crap for the last 15 years or so, but I'd love for Ryzen to be actually good out in the real world! Lots of cheap cores is something I would love to have, as it's about the most important thing in my trade. These new Intel CPUs could be...

    How to fix 3D version of Bar Citizen Logo?

    If 8 years in the industry thought me anything its that Yes, pushing all the buttons works in the end :D Keep playing with it till you like it! Red looks nice with the orange/sand. Max works better for one thing, Maya works better for others. I use both every day for work. It's not the tool...

    How to fix 3D version of Bar Citizen Logo?

    So true about Max! The difference is that you are not frowned upon as much when you smack Max on the head with a shovel :D I only knew both of em since Max turned 5 though, and didn't care much for Maya, cos Max built cars while Maya played with dolls, and I'm a car guy. The VFX life led me...

    How to fix 3D version of Bar Citizen Logo?

    Logo looking great! In case Maya doesn't wanna play along (she can be really annoying sometimes), or you just get bored with looking for errors cos your beer ran out, I'm happy to give it a look in Max :smile: Had to deal with stuff like this before, hated it though. Usually the problem was...

    Does being a part of the alpha ruin some of the surprise factor?

    Interesting question, oh glorious leader! I guess some of the discovery is lost, as we learn about all the things we can do, like certain game mechanics. I'm thinking here of stuff that will be the equivalent of pushing the bigbennys box into the freelancer to play "cargoship", or how to get to...

    Half-naked women can get thousands of retweets, but how about our students in labcoats?

    A tweeter is the smallest speaker in your car or indoor stereo system, responsible for the high pitched noises. Shoot it with a 12 gauge for MOAR BASS! To OP, respect! Done!

    Intel or AMD, for new PC?

    Based on my experience, Intel all the way! (although I gotta admit that AMD stepped up to the game this time) We know literally nothing about how Ryzen will perform in the long run, the Intels' are proven to work just fine. I never in my life had any issues with Intel CPU's, while the AMDs...

    New Subscriber perks... Wot? where??

    On yesterdays ATV new Sub perks got announced. I've been a Centurion level subscriber for over 2 years before I unsubbed in January as the "new"' shows got worse and way less informative than before. Now that the media content seems to be getting better along with the game, I was thinking about...

    Website almost unusable with Edge browser

    Works fine on Edge for me. Actually it works much faster and smoother than it does in chrome. It's even faster than on firefox. Also it's about the only forum based website that works fine on windows phone... So I'd suggest you try and empty the cache, delete cookies, yada yada, the usual...

    Thanks for the info @AstroSam ! I didn't even notice it was broken, but I can see how it can be a huge issue for anyone who didn't pay for a subscription for at least the past few months... I'm running low myself as I stopped my sub back in december and had spent quiet a lot of REC on renting...

    Elite: Dangerous TEST Squadron

    Hey Dygon, I sent a request to join, name is supposedly Eekan Nor, but I'm not really sure. I played a little when ED came out, and only picked up Horizon yesterday and started playing again. I got a Cobra MkIII and only a few mill in creds so I guess I'm way behind. Also I have no clue how the...
