Congrats to Daz!

doc rob · Nov 2005

If you get this month's Game Developer magazine, the last page "A Thousand Words" piece has Daz's latest bond characters featured (the same stuff he posted here).

The artwork is credited to "Electronic Arts Redwood City art team, under art director Dave Carson." I know Daz probably gets magazine covers and such all the time, I just thought it was funny that he did nearly all the work himself and got no name credit.

It's ok Daz, at least they didn't give the credit to EA SUPER LAZER POWER 3D SCANNER 5000.

Congrats, Daz! That Game Developer will be salvaged !

good job daz

gauss · Nov 2005

you're right doc, Daz gets this kind of press so much, he's an insufferable egomaniac nowadays. i heard he even quit his job because EA was "too small-time" for him.

Jeff Parrott · Dec 2005

I heard it was over the "chocolate" birthday cake they gave him a few years ago. Congrats on the mag, your bookshelf must be getting full.

TomDunne · Dec 2005

I dunno, I think this Darren cat is overrated. Let's see what he can do without his SUPER LAZER POWER 3D SCANNER 5000 before we start patting him on the back. I bet he uses Character Studio, too...

Daz is the Super Laser Power 3D Scanner 5000! They just put him in a big metal box and say they gave the computer voice synthesiser an English accent because it sounded cooler.

arshlevon · Dec 2005

no he uses speedtree!!!

congrats daz..

And let's not forget, he's a nice guy poster too

...Unless you speak bad of Maya.

Daz · Dec 2005

Lets change that to 'unless Jackablade makes a dumb smartass quip!'

jeez, remind me to never reply to any maya specific questions you have. You never were particularly forthcoming with thanks anyway! I must have explained a million times that it's not people speaking bad of Maya that pisses me off. ( heck I must have explained a further million times how Id rather use XSI ) but its pointless software flamewars that piss me off!

Thanks doc. I had no idea and haven't seen it. I shall have to look out for it. Yeah, I'm kinda thick skinned about the whole 'not receiving credit' thing by now! One has to be when one works for EA

The scanning machine has been handed over to the new lead. I made it a couple of years ago from a coathanger and 2 fairy liquid bottles ( private British joke sorry ) and it's still going strong!

JO420 · Dec 2005

Ruz · Dec 2005

Hmm.. now that i think of it, its really relative if you push or pull the envelop, it depends on which side of the table you are. And when you push and the person opposite the table pulls then the envelope moves double fast!

Anyways grats Daz, your Bond chars are worth every cubic inch of paper they are given!

Eric Chadwick · Dec 2005

Do you also do the in-game models, or just the high-res promotional pieces?

Always a pleasure seeing your work.

nitzmoff · Dec 2005

Nice work Daz. The images you posted earlier were awesome. Congrats.

Daz · Dec 2005

Eric: the stuff I worked on is here: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=82032&an=0&page=2#82032 They're in game apart from the cinematic Connery.
Robert Shaw was SouL's work actually. I think it was petty much the last thing he did before he left.

Eric Chadwick · Dec 2005

Kudos to SouL then!

Thanks for the link, and the closeups.

milla · Dec 2005

I always get mine a month late, because they ship surface to NZ from the distributor my supplier uses. Congrats though Daz

kolbyjukes · Dec 2005
