![]() ![]() ![]() In Firestorm, open prefs and search for "memory", you will see a slider called "Viewer Texture Memory Buffer (MB)", if you can increase this slider. There is unlikely to be a singular object at fault, it's death by a thousand cuts.ĭepending on your graphics card you may be able to get the viewer to ask to use more. īottom line, you have too much stuff in one place and your computer can't keep it all in the amount of VRAM it's been allocated at the same time. and oh look, there's a missing texture, so lets throw one out and. It throws out a texture and loads one of the pending ones. The viewer has used up all of the VRAM it's been allocated yet there are still textures to be loaded. ![]() The textures are decoded into your computers VRAM. So they start off small and fuzzy and slowly load more information and get sharper. Textures are decoded as a series of images at ever increasing resolutions. When the viewer starts up, it asks to be given an amount of VRAM and it uses it to store textures and meshes while they are being rendered. Your viewer has a set amount of Video Ram (VRAM) available to it. I have the latest Firestorm I have ALM off, I have object LOD at 2 Other textures will stay fine but certain others just get crazy, no matter the distance of the camera to the object. It happens constantly and I can't even take a picture without random textures going from sharp to fuzzy to sharp again several times a minute. I am having an ongoing issue with textures going in and out of focus (see pics). ![]() I have a really good graphics card, btw altho its two years old.Īny help would be gratefully appreciated. I go to my Linden house, and it shoots up to the 50s. Related or not, I'm not sure, but my FPS goes down to the 20s when I'm on my land. In a particular building I have which has many objects on the same land in other houses, I don't have this problem.Ģ. I've reduced scripts on my land, I've cleared my cache, I've gotten rid of heavily scripted items, I rebake textures with no real results. I have the latest Firestorm I have ALM off, I have object LOD at 2 I don't have Malewarebytes as others suggested in similar post. I have a bad problem with LOTRO graphics on ultra high, the game started freezing up about 2 or 3 times then the PC screen would paint the components of 3D characters 2D components face, hands etc and environment textures on the screen one layer after another like fluorescent coloured Graffiti, the same problems occurred with The Witcher PC game, funny enough The Witcher worked really well on my old PC but no such luck on my new PC no matter what I did, when I lowered the graphics resolution requirements for LOTRO by about 2 or so notches from extreme ultra high it worked fine even though my PC could easily handle the ultra high requirements and started working somewhat okay with some array of similar bug symptoms that plagued Gothic 3 before and somewhat after the community patch came out, but as for the fluorescent coloured Graffiti painted on my pc screen from LOTRO, THE WITCHER only these two games have offended. (Especially in a starting zone, for crying out loud…) It will also keep shadows consistent, even if if means simple blob shadows for everything. Ultimately, smart art direction will strive to keep UV scale similar and minimize warping. Of course, the gameplay in MMOs is another thing to complain about, but that’s an entire topic in itself… I’ll take solid gameplay over niggling visual details like that, given the choice. It’s to the point where I don’t much notice any more, and if I start to care, I just fire up Doom or something to shake myself out of it.ĭitto for shadows I miss them, but I just don’t care most of the time. Well, that, and the normal fudging of scale that we get in these games. Really, I can grab pretty much any game screenshot and find some UV issues with it, especially in an MMO where there are just SO MANY bits of geometry to get through the production pipeline. I notice the bad UV layouts first, but then, I’m working on building UVs every day, so that’s an easy pick. ![]()

"Why you little rat, we've been friends for what 10 years and I've covered your ass more than a few times." "I'll have to tell her you left." Mark smiled. "What?" Nancy turned, her light hearted tone disappearing in an instant. ![]() "Ok, but I'll have to tell her." Mark said. "Uh, but your Mom said she didn't want you to be there while the workers were there." "I've got to run home and get a book I left there." Nancy walked into his room looking around. "Sure, let me know if you need anything." Mark said walking slowly upstairs desperately trying to think of a reason to stay in the same room.Īs it turned out Mark got lucky and she came upstairs. "I'll just grab the couch," Nancy said walking into the living room and turning on the television. Despite her being a year older a growth spurt put Mark at near her height though she could likely best him in any sport, including wrestling. "Oh, I see." Mark nodded quite pleased to see her wearing the sexy outfit even if it was mostly covered. "Mom didn't want me to go to the house wearing my practice unitard so I have it on underneath." Mark cocked his head at an odd angle while holding the door open for her to enter. She was oddly dressed, her legs were covered in shiny black spandex as were her arms and over this she wore a pair of jean shorts and a white T-shirt. "It's a big house, I'm sure you'll stay out of each other's way." With that, Sharon and Teresa left the house.įifteen minutes later the door bell rang. This of course meant she knew exactly what he was thinking. He played it cool though, "Sure, no problem." ![]() She was a sophomore in high school and as a freshman way out of Mark's league. She also refused to date anyone, saying she was too busy with school and gymnastics to spend time with boys. This was excellent news, Teresa's daughter Nancy was a gorgeous red-head that made every boy's burgeoning libido burst whenever she walked by. She's old enough to take care of herself but I don't trust all those filthy workmen in our house right now. "I hope it's ok, but our house is being renovated for the next couple of weeks and Nancy needs a quiet place to study. "Teresa and I are going shopping and maybe a manicure if we have time." "You're all dressed up, what's going on?" "Oh, son, I'm so glad you got home on time." They both stood up from the table when Mark entered the kitchen for a drink of water. Sharon's outfit was mostly shades of red, whereas Teresa loved green. They were both dressed in very nice clothes, skirts and heels. The only difference was that his Mom was "blond", (that's what she told everybody), and Teresa was a red-head. Teresa and Mark's Mom (her name was Sharon) were the same age, the same build, and had the same length of hair. He came home loaded down with books to find his Mom and her best friend in the whole world, Teresa, sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. Mark was a typical high school male, a T-shirt and jeans kind of kid who counted his day blessed if he managed to follow one of the sexy high school cheerleaders up the stairs. We discover by accident or by growing awareness that Mom is more than just a chauffeur and cook, she's also a woman.įor Mark, a 15 year old kid with a scrawny body and unkempt hair, it happened quite differently, most would say oddly. For some kids it happens when they first realize the jar of lotion in the nightstand is not for her hands, or perhaps that the short cylindrical object does not really ease Mom's tired shoulders. There comes a time in all kids lives when they realize that Mom is not just the person that makes dinner and cleans house. ![]() ![]() Dave Burgess is a professional writer and systems engineer living in Omaha, Nebraska.

It can feel weird to see a ring size that’s A ½, right? and Canada use numbers for ring sizes, but some countries will use letters from the alphabet as their ring sizes. Sorry babe.Īlso, depending on which country the rings are sold in, you may have to figure out a different scale. You’ll have to figure that out per company. Or that it’s measured in inches instead of millimeters! You may even find out that your fave ring company measures the diameter of the ring instead of the circumference. While it’s standard to measure it for the inside of the ring, some jewelers will measure the side edge of the ring instead. Different jewelry companies may vary on how they measure their rings. Measure the diameter of your existing rings (in the middle) making sure you only count the millimeters that fall inside the ring. Whew! Fun, huh? You can use this as a basic guide. ![]() So how are ring sizes related to millimeter length? Here’s a handy list of common ring sizes and their diameters in millimeters: ĭiameters, Circumference, and Millimeters, Oh My! This goes for all bands from signet rings to band rings. So when a ring is being created, jewelry-makers have to keep in mind these lengths to get the best results. Typically, jewelers determine ring sizes based on the circumference that the inside of the band will be. Over time, it became common to standardize ring sizes. You can find rings from a size 3 to a size 13.5.īut, how do jewelers determine that size? Just like with any item you wear, rings have a size. ![]() ![]() ![]() With a few glaring exceptions (Yoda, Vader, Apprentice, Bonus Characters I'm looking at you), Soul Calibur IV is what I've been waiting for from a fighting game for some time now. ![]() The Tutorial would have been nice to keep for newcomers, and an adjustable difficulty would be just dandy in case players get bored of fighting the ridiculously easy AI (I guess this is a step up from SCIII's ridiculously unforgiving AI.) I would trade all the guest and bonus characters for those two features, but whatever. It feels like Soul Calibur did some serious introspection - a line by line audit of all its features - and asked itself, "Do I really need this to be a good fighting game?" A noble, if flawed, effort. Say goodbye to "Versus Team Battle", "Battle Theater" where you could set the computer to fight itself, the Tutorial (?), the extra fighting styles from SCIII's Create a Soul feature, and curiously also missing is the ability to adjust the difficulty in Arcade Mode (?!). Gone is the pointless (not to mention redundant) "Time Attack" mode. Over and over I found myself asking that same question does it really matter? Gone is the "Soul Arena" and the fancy battles where you collect coins, fight a giant statue. The point of the game is the interactive exchange and not watching pretty cinematics. Then after a moment, I thought does it really matter? This is a fighting game. Namco only featured a sparse handful of characters whereas previous entries have showcased all the characters. When I first popped in SCIV and watched the obligatory opening cinematic, I felt a twinge of disappointment. ![]() ![]() Interested in more garden posts?
