The art lead of the team really loved it, but he felt my work was inconsistent. All the models are made to fit in RTS games except the Cute Tank. I do hate the very hard highlights on the M1 tank… -
Re: Phantom Pain/ Metal Gear Solid 5
Observing the social media reaction to this reveal is quite fascinating. It really goes to show that no matter how hard we try, people are always going to think of video games as something that is by default for kids, and the masses are always going to be offended by things they do not research the context of. Maybe there… -

Re: Industry strugglin'

Re: Achieving Realistic Look
That number is the average luminance of the scene, which is the "intensity of light being emitted from a surface." Using a pure white, no specular material on a plane perpendicular to the light direction helps get the brightest value from the scene, which is what we're basing all of this on. Make sure you have all other… -
Re: PC build ~$1000
I hope this doesn't come across as paternalism/being a smartass (not sure if this is the right word/how to express what I want - I'm not a native speaker), but I don't want you to later think "damn, why haven't I bought xxx back then instead of xxx". :O PSU: The Seasonic 750 is only $40 more and would be enough for 2 760s…
