System Wars Lounge v51: Where's my BF Bunduru?! Edition

Final Fantasy VII's materia system is so dumb. I just got slaugthered in a boss fight because the game gave me a chance to swtich some characters out, so I switch some out. Next thing I know I'm hurdled into a boss fight without the game even giving me a chance to change some materia around.

All of my what the ****.

This would be awesome!

lol

Haha. Pretty much nailed them.

I must say, you haven't truly pushed your PC until you've tried texturing a 4 million polygon head at FUCKING 8K RESOLUTION. That's 8192x8192. That's 67,108,864 pixels... holy shit. And the client on this was actually considering 16K, not sure if my rig could even handle that.

The stupid part? This model is supposed to be for a game. Of course it can always be downsized at the click of a button, but why do it in the first place?

Also.. I fucking hate texturing heads. I feel sorry for anyone out there that does this shit every day.

I played Smash Wii U. It was fun.

Also, the thought of Disney buying Nintendo is a strange one to me. Can't say either way if I like it or don't. It just... is.

Disney buying out Nintendo won't happen. The article itself acknowledges that and Nintendo's cash reserves. What it doesn't note is that Nintendo's may already be trying to become Disney by expanding its franchises. They've become more open to merchandising in recent times and have even recently debuted their own line of figures. Next up is the Pikmin shorts. Who knows what that'd spell down the road?

That's because the man had see not to buy anything related to the clusterfuck-up that is Eva 3.0. Likewise, the animators had the sense to pay tribute to something good, that good thing being Eva (not) 3.0. I'll be nice and say I liked the ending theme at least. Hell, I'm listening to it right now.

Are you ready to be fucked by a cow man?

Bioware, such splendor should not be hidden behind closed doors. Tis the miracle of life.

Texturing in general with UV maps is mind boggling to me. Made me feel like I diddn't pay enough attention in geometry in school LOL

Luckily I was raised by the Illuminati, so I know about dem triangles.

No seriously tough, I feel ya man. Laying out UVs is a bitch.. painting on UVs is a bitch. This shit is no fun at all.

I was starting to get comfortable with the workflow too, doing mechanical objects, props, etc.. but organic stuff? Fucking characters? ****. Trying to lay a persons head out flat in 2d space is no joke.

At least I get to paint directly on the model in 3d space via image projection using Mari.. I can't even imagine what it was like for those guys that used to texture heads straight up in Photoshop. It would be like an exercise in painting road kill.

I'm trying to justify buying a monster rig aside of it being "cool" to have.

Lol, I have done that actually, I've done painting on flat UV maps in photoshop. I just prefer photoshop because I'm used to it. It's like a 5th limb for me lol.

@bldgirsh: gimme your steam so we can play dotes

Oh yeah, same. It's the only program that I actually memorized every shortcut for lol. And in many instances it's much easier to just texture in 2D space. Up to this point, Photoshop is were I've done all my texturing.... I just can't do it for these organic models though. Having to account for the distortion of a head laid out flat is just insanity. People did it for years, but I just can't imagine how.

hnnng sunset overdrive is free for 24 hours

@clyde46: Just do it. Not only are they cool to have, but you will be enjoying games maxed out the way they were meant to be played. Meanwhile, everyone else is bitching about poor optimization.

Well, I decided against buying a "dream pc" instead going for one that I can build myself. Total is about £5000 at the moment but I can't decide on a case.

so many penises everywhere... what has sw become?

Where are the mods?

MODSSSSS

SWs-home of BBC, aint that right @TheEroica and @getyeryayasout?

XD..maybe TC should rename the topic to where is my BBC?

Mods need to quit dickin around and take a firm stand against this chode. Erect some sort of block. It just seems like something isn't measuring up here, like they're just not trying hard enough. It petrifies me to imagine a youngster happening across these images.

Is Willy still a mod? He seemed like a solid guy, but it's been so long.

Penis.

I've said that I'd be up for doing mod work, hell I'm online here so much.

This is good work right here

Wood be nice man, we need a real cock blocker around here. I know the competition may be stiff, but I'm sure you're up to it. I have rock solid confidence in your ability to get it done.

I'm seeing what you are doing....

Thanks bro. I may sound a bit firm on the issue, but sometimes you just have to go to great lengths to get your point across. Ask the hard questions. The board is at an all time low with this invasion, but I think with hard work and enough stamina, we can get it back up.

I can't simply stand strong on my own though. We need solidarity. We need to tap into the main vein, unite our swords and charge in like the battle hardened System Warriors that we were born to be. Rise to the occasion, so to speak.

Too many dick photos these days. I blame Lostrib for his lack of contribution for starting this.

I don't think Lostrib deserves to take the whole load on this one. It's a hardship we all must bare. Things may get a bit harry, but I believe we will soon penetrate the problem at its core. We can't just sit back and watch GSpot melt away so easily.

But, he contributes NOTHING!

@jg4xchamp: devils advocate.... I'm not sure I see where this is bad. I mean sure it's not ideal, but it's also not ideal to release ten years worth of half baked consoles, shit online and the absence of a large majority of the best games in the medium.

Disney is solely an entertainment company, which means their acquisitions must fall in line with a plan to nurture their fan base. Star Wars is a good example. Everyone (except me) cringed at the Disney takeover ,but now I've got abrams working on a new movie, shot on film, using less cgi, and keeping it in line with the people who put the franchise on the map... Not to say Abrams isn't capable of fucking it up, but A lucascontrolled star wars was dead on arrival with no future.

In nintendos case, this would get the brand away from the bizarre and disappointing hands of the current suits and give it refocus, dare I say, become a more well rounded brand in every way. At the very worst Disney will turn Nintendo into a family focused console with shitty online and shitty hardware.... Oh wait, Nintendo did that already. No?

No need to be so hard on the guy. I know he comes up short sometimes, but once you get him going, his contributions can be staggering in breadth. At least that's what the cows tell me.

"Just give him a little wiggle room and watch him explode with contributions."

Sorry Lostrib bro

@ConanTheStoner: I get your frustration brother, but trust me there's only one person to be irritated with in this.

It has nothing to do with ...the concept is fine.

It's the article

Disney can save Nintendo= Why would Disney give a ****?

for only 19 Billion= Even if 19 Billion is nothing to Disney, that's still a big investment, with potentially not the same payoff

"It'll never happen" is the ending stretch of that write up, so what the **** was the point of writing that anyway?

If the article was "this shit would be cool if this happened", no harm no foul, but instead it is so aggressively click bait and ignores basic econmics and business strategy. Shit is just dumb.

@TheEroica:

It's all good TheBroica, I'm just going for some record breaking innuendos here.

Haha, sorry if I seemed a bit rigid, no long face here. Just had a hard time with work this morning, decided I'd come here and take a load off, ya know?

Why dont you ever contribute? ****.

just got me a new 55inch tv so i can play all my xbone games in 741.425245p

hnnnnnnnnnnnnng

@jg4xchamp: Lol, well that I totally agree with... Disney at last check I believe was worth something to The tune of 140 billion, with 45 b in annual revenue. 19 billion is absolutely a chunk of change.... Yeah reading it back made my head hurt.

@ConanTheStoner: No worries bro! Work on a Saturday? I'd be pissed too ;)

Nuu, too much peruvians want oracles... Silly silencer gets picked on other team constantly.

So you mean you don't want to play dotes? Damn it.
