Defcon's exceptional sound design deserves no small share of the credit for the emotional. And aesthetic impact of Introversion's luminously deadly war sim. The experience is further enhanced by the haunting soundtrack. Effects are used superbly too, with the howling winds of the holocaust echoing in the background,. Nursery rhymes floating eerily from one speaker to the other and the faint cough as another innocent victim draws. Their last breath can all be heard as you prime your next nuke. The minimal...

Tech Art Tiki: Perforce Python API Basics
http://techarttiki.blogspot.com/2012/03/perforce-python-api-basics.html
If it ain't broke, it will be soon. Thursday, March 1, 2012. Perforce Python API Basics. Many Python users working with Perforce believe that calling out to "p4.exe" with subprocess is the only method available. Perforce actually maintains free, native API packages. Here is a dead-simple example, showing how to use the Perforce Python API to sync all files in a certain depot folder. You can also use the "with" statement to easily manage the connection, automatically disconnecting when that block of code ...

Way of the Rodent. The smallest arcade cabinet in the world (well ok. in my street anyway) to use authentic full-size arcade controls; demonstrated in action here by an enthusiastic volunteer.

If it ain't broke, it will be soon. Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Checksums in 3ds Max (part 2 of 2). I showed how to calculate checksums inside 3ds Max. Here's how to do something useful with them. The script is divided into three functions and a short bit of main code. Is the first function, taken from my previous post. Next is the getPropsString(). The main code block loops through the entire 3ds Max scene, doing the above for every material found on geometry objects:. 0 if (not alreadyDone) and (mat!

Tech Art Tiki: February 2013

If it ain't broke, it will be soon. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Why retarget missing bitmaps in 3ds Max? I was just reading a blog post by Nick Covington. About retargeting missing bitmaps in 3ds Max scenes. He has a perfectly clever idea for doing so, but I wondered why I've never needed to write something similar for my users. Or rather, why so many people feel that bitmap retargeting is necessary? So am I missing something? I don't, but mileage might vary. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

If it ain't broke, it will be soon. Monday, December 5, 2011. Py2exe, Windows 7 and Vista. I don't use py2exe. Very often, but it can be a useful tool for environments that may not have an existing Python installation. I recently used py2exe on my Windows 7 PC to build a small tasktray tool. The resulting executable ran fine on my PC (doesn't it always? But threw an exception on any Vista PC it was run on. File "win32com init .pyo", line 5, in. File "win32api.pyo", line 12, in.
