  1. My experience with the terrain editor in leadwerks haven't been that satisfying, I like how the tool work you can do amazing things with it but it feels unusable for me because of the major laggs.

    Is my machine too weak?

    My specs.

     

    CPU: FX 8350

    GPU: Radeon HD 7950

    RAM: 16gb 4x4 corsair vengeance 1600mhz

    Drivers: crimson edition 16.1

    windows 10

  2. I like it a lot, but it's not really suitable for competitive games. It's really good for games like Rocket League and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Borderlands 2 seemed to work as well as long as you're not picking up snipers or weapons you need to aim precisely with. For competitive games I'd still prefer mouse and keyboard, but for casual (mostly single-player or co-op games) I can really recommend this. It's really nice playing from the couch/bed with only a controller in your hand.

     

    What I also like is that big picture is aimed for playing on the couch. The font sizes are huge so it's easy to read messages, popups, etc. Plus you can configure every button on your controller to do anything you want, which is really nice.

    It was mainly for single player games like 3d platformers, final fantasy, racing and project zomboid.

    If it suits games like that I just have to get one.

  3. I really really don't like that they force driver installs through Windows update...those should always be from the manufacturer directly ..not through Windows update...but a lot of people are too stupid to do it themselves so Microshaft has to do it for them...

    windows 8 & 8.1 did also install drivers through windows update.

     

     

    hi,

     

    with the latest video card drivers from ATI, I have now no more problems with Leadwerks. for now. (windows 10)

    Yeah things started to work after those drivers:)
  4. As you may or may not know I am a former Windows user. In January I switched over to Ubuntu and have no regrets about doing that at all. During the years I have installed Ubuntu now and then to see the progress of things. This time it was Bingo! All the programs I'm using worked great without any magic touch. Just click and install as in Windows.

     

    Which programs? Well I don't use a big arsenal these day. Blender, 3DCoat, Leadwerks, Esenthel, Gimp, CodeBlocks, NetBeans and some other stuff as Ardour & Audacity (music), FileZilla (ftp), CollabNet (Git). All those was just as easy installed as in Windows (download and click to install).

     

    Settings in Ubuntu. To tell the truth I don't know to much about them as I haven't had the need for any changes after my first install. All worked just great after install. But just in case there is the need, there is a control-panel with easy settings (in fact more easy than in Windows if you ask me).

     

    Doing magic commands in the command prompt then? This seems to be a myth coming from the old days. There is no need for that as these days everything is graphical as it is in Windows. In some really rare cases (as in Windows) you might have to give some command in the terminal. Well.. That's done as easy as in Windows.

     

    Updates of both the OS and the installed programs comes nice and easy as it does in Widows, by auto-magic if you allow that.

     

    I could go on for a bit, but to make it short. I haven't had any reason to do anything more complicated than I did in Windows to the things going. Is there anything that I miss from Windows. No. I have same programs or equivalent in Ubuntu as I had in Windows.

     

    I don't like to spend hours fixing with the OS or programs to get them going either, and I haven't. Coming to Leadwerks in Linux then. It works fine although there are some minor things that needs to be fixed (as the missing drag and drop of files into the editor). But those are minor things that can be worked around very easy. No big deal.

     

    All and all I can say that I haven't regretted my switch to Linux and have no intention what so ever of turning back to Windows. Does this mean that Linux is better that Windows. I my view its not better or worse, its just another OS with one big nice feature, its Free, has always been and will always be.

     

    Just wanted to write this as many (most ?) seems to think that you need to be some computer geek to run Linux. You don't.

     

    Now this was about Windows 10. I think its a good thing if MS could quickly remove all the old versions and get everything under one roof (I think this was the intentions with 10 ). For gamers there is the new DirectX 12 which will make things run faster. Besides that and some cosmetics its (as I have understood it) more or less nothing more than a big servicepack of Windows 8, so I would not worry to much installing it.

    I really love Linux, but I'm also a gamer and Visual studio is the only IDE for me.

  5. Hi sry for bothering you guys with nooby questions

     

    im really bad when it comes to textures, everytime i apply texture to things it looks like ****.

     

    it applies a new image to the mesh every 8th grid square if i understand it correctly?

    which can make some stuff like walls and floor look really wierd.

    Is the solution to always have the same size on texture as the mesh I wanna assign texture to?

     

     

    how do you guys manage things when texturing your levels would really appreciate if i got some adviceeyqrL8C.jpg?1

  6. I don't dislike Blender, it's just well known to have one of the most user-hostile UIs in the world.

     

    BTW, the 1, 2, & 3 keys will switch between translation, rotation, and scale.

     

    aah I see BTW I can't find this info in the editor tutorial?

  7. I did some texturing in Blender after watching a tutorial about 6 times, but after a couple of weeks I forget how it worked. They are trying to make Blender more user friendly but its an uphill struggle.Shame, as its pretty good.

     

    Yeah this is pretty much the reason why im looking for other tools that may fit better:P

    it's a shame i really wanna like the texturing part of blender because i love the rest of the software but i just can't

  8. I normally use Blender for almost Everything.

    i do use blender for almost everything but not texturing atm, blender do have a addon "zero brush" who make the texturing in blender more pleasant.

     

    In terms of texturing, I like 3D-Coat and Substance Designer best, they're kind of expensive, but they offer you unlimited amounts of possibilities in texturing.

    If you're looking for free software, sculptris is a very good starting point, and from there you could move on to either Zbrush or 3D-Coat.

    sculptris seemed to miss some features i feel i need like texture layers, or am i just bad and don't find how to add new texture layers?

     

    i do own the steam license of substance painter and had my eye on designer & 3dcoat.

     

    But if they bring greater possibilities in texturing they could be worth the big cost, sometimes you have to spend money on your hobbies :-)

     

     

    i wish free software would be as good as these costy softwares too bad it's mostly not the case:P
