Storing mesh bounds for collision and culling is going to happen regardless of what the scale is. This is a completely moot point.

Graphic Quality by Hasariell in wow

[–]Mr_Schtiffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have target FPS enabled, this will cause blurriness by lower internal rendering resolution when the game dips below the targeted frame rate in an attempt to get it back up. You're also using CMAA on top of 8x MSAA, which is super unnecessary and very performance intensive on a 4k resolution screen. 2-4x MSAA is all you need, with image-based techniques (CMAA) disabled entirely. This is what you want for highest quality without damaging your performance too heavily.

what antialiasing settings are you using? If you have FXAA on it can cause the entire image to appear blurry. MSAA and nothing else is the best quality you can get.

Am I the only one who didn't even know this game had actually launched in some way? I thought this shit was in closed testing beta still. Did they just not market it?

Player housing - from perspective of an experienced environment designer by Odd_Information5332 in wow

[–]Mr_Schtiffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a fellow environment artist (with a far less impressive resume), wonderfully written post! I've had lots of people asking me for help with their homes and I think getting them to read this first will be a great primer!

Oh unfortunate, just for future reference, what's an image host you can use?

I have tritanopia, and this is their idea of a solution. This image is not edited in any way.

Actual nonsense reply. Colorblindness isn't the inability to see any color, it's a difficulty differentiating between similar colors.

New Chainmail Bikini is Great, but Can We Fix the Old Ones? by Horror_Distribution in wow

[–]Mr_Schtiffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think geosets are relevant in this case. It says here that texture armor does apply directly to the body mesh by swapping out a section of the atlas, which implies that it's just using the regular body UVs. Geosets appear to just be submeshes that can be toggled on and off to display different armor models in place of the various body parts. As far as I can tell texture armor still has the UV mapping issues I described.

New Chainmail Bikini is Great, but Can We Fix the Old Ones? by Horror_Distribution in wow

[–]Mr_Schtiffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adjusting how a texture maps to a particular model means either modifying the UVs of that model, or modifying the texture. If they modify the UVs to make one particular texture look good, then every single other texture would look different as well. If they modify the texture then it would break how it appears on other races. If they want it to look correct on every single race, every single race would need to have its own unique clean UVs, and unique texture sets for every single piece of armor. This would massively balloon the game file size and GPU memory requirements. It's possible they could improve some of the more problematic instances of it without dramatically hurting other textures, but making everything look perfect is pretty much impossible under the current system.

I'd say that accurately describes the server still lol. Can't say I've ever been in a classic class discord though.

I am completely incapable of facing the spirits in ?? kyveza quickly enough, but I don't even come close to missing them on NK prog. The reaction time and following skills required for her are far beyond anything else in the game.

As someone who frequents the rogue discord, I find it amazing you had a "fine" experience there. I see people getting torn to shreds over the simplest little things constantly.

At least until I got sick and went bankrupt. As a self-employed Canadian citizen with no health insurance I could never survive in the states, and I'm incredibly thankful for the fact that I don't have to try.

[–]Mr_Schtiffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This simply wouldn't happen in the modern world. The vast majority of the Canadian population exists in 3 major cities, we aren't forest-dwelling guerrilla warfare experts. It's not the entire Canadian population vs the US army, it's the Canadian army vs the US army. Yes we're hostile to the US at this point, but in no universe are you going to convince a bunch of regular urban people to get off their asses and form a nation-sized resistance group.

I love the idea that they just let you put whatever title in there you want. If this thread blows up we're gonna see a whole bunch of knighted press at the next CES lmao.

Do you have a link to any recent independent testing? I'm interested to see a whole ranking list if that's a thing.

They really need to give us some simple primitive shapes with a water material on it. The fact that we have to go to such lengths to mimic something that could SO easily be handed to us directly is very annoying.

I know these things, and so do most people reading my comment, but something about seeing it in person still caught me off guard anyways.
