[08:42] <honkykong> takes a lot of messing around before you find something taht works for yo
[08:42] <honkykong> you might want to consider a zip compression style approach to it

[12:16] <Symmetry-> "Talk of "adding physics features to GPUs" and so on misses the larger tr
[12:16] <Symmetry-> what does he mean?
[12:17] <Cote-Duke> Hmm
[12:18] <Cote-Duke> He does have a point.
[12:19] <Symmetry-> does the PS3 have a distinct "GPU" or is all rendering done by the Cell c
[12:20] <Cote-Duke> Yes, there is a GPU in PS3.
[12:21] <Symmetry-> oh I see. I still kinda wonder what that quote means though
[12:27] <Cote-Duke> Well, the main idea is -- independent processors = evil.
[12:29] <Symmetry-> but dedicated hardware exists for the sake of performance..
[12:33] <Cote-Duke> It's cheaper to make dedicated hardware than making a super-mega powerful
[12:34] <Ultyma> and more logical
[12:34] <Cote-Duke> So, more performance for less money.
[12:34] <Cote-Duke> But..

[17:26] <wkr4k3r> i have no clue
[17:26] <wkr4k3r> its like its not updating in one direction
[17:26] <wkr4k3r> its stuck on one pixel
[17:26] <wkr4k3r> or something
[17:27] <wkr4k3r> and puts a stripe of the same colours on X and Y pointed tris (the terrain)
[17:27] <wkr4k3r> its like its giving constant UV values to the pixel shader
[17:27] <wkr4k3r> or something
[18:49] <honkykong> wkr4k3r i think thats clamped
[18:49] <honkykong> sounds clamped with way too small uv
[18:50] <honkykong> the color of stripe, its the dominant color in the texture you expect to
