I've been trying to push myself as a programmer and have left art on the side for a while (I still love making art though!) In the last year I've discovered that at the end of the day, I'm not content with just making art, I want to make full games that can actually bring enjoyment to others. As a result, I've been trying…
Thanks guys for interesting comments . it's of topic but last fall after years of polishing Designer fx maps and creating procedural approaches I suddenly found how actually better my work had been when it all was just manual, taste and intuition driven. Zbrush sculpts and coloring , hand painted textures I did in some…
I've been getting back into texture work and am always interested in reading ANYTHING about HALO art. Even this old stuff! :) I noticed one of the screenshots, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/polycount/halo4/m80a.jpg REALLY reminded me of DOOM 3 and I checked and sure enough Kenneth Scott was a senior art director on…
Fair nuf. Yeah actor would work. Its been a while since I had the unreal codebase on mental speed dial. Though the portal beams do damage to you or objects also, which is why I thought of the weapon route first. Plus the weapon projectile classes have plenty of other existing functionality. (impact effects etc) Now in the…
@Eric Chadwick Isn't this just a sketchbook being blasted on main pimping which was the whole point of segregating these threads cause if everyone did it in pimping it would be a "competition of bumping threads", which was the whole point of creating the sketchbook section there are more threads where i can point this…
Video games, censorship, ESRB, and banning (and restricting sales to minors) I originally wrote up a big thread of this, and then fire fox crashed, so now I'm going to be a lazy bastard and point out some things that I think are important topics. List of banned games by country…
bounch: it's like the difference between R and NC-17 in the movie system--there are plenty of horribly violent or sexual movies that probably would have made NC-17 easily, if some sort of public sentiment or ratings board turned against it. it's not really about the content, it's about whether or not they want it out…
Verse looks fine as a language - i watched a talk on it a while back and it has some features I think are a really good idea for this application. If you're doubting epic's ability to invent a language for making unreal games you should probably just stop - they've been doing it forever. as far as UE6 goes... I don't think…
Hey all. Despite what the thread title may lead you to believe, I don't want to paint any of my jeans, but I would like to know if there's any proven ways to do so digitally. I'm working on a character who is wearing jeans and I've always wondered how people manage such awesome looking results. Examples of what I mean:…
about 1 month when I was laid off from Mythic. I had a month to prepare because HR spilled the beans and the layoff was really just sending me home in November but still paying me that month. I could have had a job lined up immediately but I wanted to enjoy the holidays with my family. Recently I was a contract environment…
