House Cleaning
Posted by Eddy in Extras, Maintenance, News, TheLeetWorld on Apr.27, 2008.
So today we knocked a big chunk of filming for Episode Thirteen out of the park, claiming it as our property in celebration not unlike a young boy named Stephen once did. Yes, there was some collective Smooth Few Films squatting. Maybe one of the least problems-free days in our short history of production.
Nick upgraded the “camera” computer that we use to film the show, complete with an 8800 GT. Needless to say, our characters are colorful and smooth and it definitely enhances the look of everything. I even brought some screenshots to prove it.
Pretty nice, eh? In case you guys haven’t been around, a lot went down the last two weeks. I’ve put together a list of some important posts to make it easier to navigate.

Cmon Chet or Player… Cmon…
Also, Eddy/Nick/Daniel/Anyone Else, Can you give us an estimate for the episode release date? It looks pretty cool, and its gonna be a nice filler for the epic Episode 14 wait. Also, can’t wait for the Halo Short, gonna be awesome, I’m a huge fan of your shorts.

I can’t wait for all the stuff coming out this week. And I’m surprised that a new graphics card helps that much on such an old game. I’ve been thinking about getting a 8800 gt myself.
April 28th, 2008 on 5:04 pm
Yeah, maybe I’m a total noob, but it surprised me too. I guess I figured we had CS:S mostly maxed out since like you said, it’s such an old game. I thought it might look a little better, but it’s pretty noticeable, from the second we loaded the game up to capture.
April 28th, 2008 on 7:02 pm
Awesome VGA choice. I’ve been haulin’ the 8800 GT since it launched (along with its tremendous back-orders). An excellent choice that I’m glad you guys made! If you don’t mind my asking, what card were you guys using previously?
April 28th, 2008 on 8:25 pm
I’m expecting Player’s bio.
April 28th, 2008 on 9:09 pm
+1
April 28th, 2008 on 9:26 pm
+2 (ಠ_ಠ)
April 28th, 2008 on 9:32 pm
+3 — i think my card would probably be the same (nVidia 6200), it can run CSS at Medium Detail =D
April 28th, 2008 on 10:45 pm
I have a radeon x550 (256MB) and CSS runs at 30-45 FPS with all tex&models set to high , AA2x and full HDR. Imagine how it would be on a 512 card , excelent vidz , keep up the good work
April 29th, 2008 on 1:46 am
+4?
April 29th, 2008 on 1:50 am
This would be great if you have changed the CSS world models into something high quality.. Cause the default sucks.. Yeah and also phong the characters.. thats what I did.. I can do those kinds of things.. I do that while maintaining performance in the game..
April 29th, 2008 on 2:04 am
more info plzzzzzzz, love these updates tho ^_^, keep up the fantastic work
April 29th, 2008 on 4:17 am
April 29th, 2008 on 7:31 am
We used to have a Radeon X1950 Pro. We ran CS:S with everything on High and 4xAA/8xAF, but now we are rocking 8xAA/16xAF. However, the biggest difference is that the 8800GT seems to have greater contrast and richer colors than the old ATi card.
April 29th, 2008 on 8:10 am
Wow, thats pretty good, i used to have a 1950, but I traded it in for a 8600, and it feels good =D
April 29th, 2008 on 11:29 am
i cant wait to find out what hapens next
April 29th, 2008 on 1:17 pm
whoo a new short!
April 29th, 2008 on 5:33 pm
Insane in the membrane right there. Nice job, and I wish you the best of luck!
April 29th, 2008 on 7:14 pm
I remember like it was yesterday, that it was the beginning of this year, and you guys were like “Where are my flying cars, robots and shit, the future is a lie I’ve decided”. 5 months on, that’s still clear.
April 29th, 2008 on 8:06 pm
OMGAR! Nvidia ftw HD GOOODNESSS T____T
April 29th, 2008 on 9:03 pm
wow, great screenshots, and I rate this series in my top 3… it has to compare with live action Trigun webisodes
April 29th, 2008 on 10:18 pm
Awesome! I noticed a huge difference with high AA/AF settings…a great feeling knowing that the only way lag can happen now is if the ‘net bogs down. Can’t wait to see Ep. 13!
April 30th, 2008 on 5:41 am
May 3rd, 2008 on 5:03 pm
