Thanks Der and I agree with everything you said about the digital painting. I think my main problem with that piece is exactly what you mentioned, I hadn't really figured out materials and it is really hurting it. I'm working on some new sketches now for it. I definitely want to get in there and make it a more solid piece…
Heya - I totally see where you are coming from ... and my suggestion remains unchanged :) It's of course up to you to spend your time as you so desire. The one thing you'll have to keep in mind though is that the things you are leaving for later (that is to say, everything related to actually building your game with your…
Had a listen to episode 4. It's pretty good, has some enjoyable banter and interesting anecdotes and info. If I could make a fairly major criticism though, there's quite a lot of it that isn't going to be of an real interest to anyone who doesn't have an inside knowledge of your studio. It's probably amusing for your…
From what I've read, iOS users are more likely to make in-app purchases than Droid users, which offsets Droid's larger market share if we're talking about raw profitability. For desktop, the trick is exposure. OSX only occupies 7.6% of the desktop market, so your user pool is comparatively miniscule from the start. You can…

Spliting the forums up is just going to lead to more people missing work posted in the "less popular" section. So i dont think that is something we should consider. I really REALLY do not ever want to force anyone to have to post their work in a system based on how many polys, what engine, etc. This is just a very bad…
Hey everyone! Mass Effect Beyond the Relays is a total conversion mod for the game Stellaris. We're currently looking to add some artists to our team, specifically we are in need of the following: - A character artist to help design new animated 2D portraits of the various species from Mass Effect - A texture artist,…
Animation mixing is the harder part of this. If you want to fully blend between 2 animations, and not by parts, its still fairly straight forward. Hold 2 texture samplers for the data texture, put the original one in the first slot, and the new animation to the second one. Then interpolate the value. This will give you…
Hello everyone, I just had to register here as soon as I found this thread via google, when I was looking for video game art books :) I sure as hell dont want to beat a dead horse (this thread is a bit old) but I love the topic, collect video game art books myself and I feel it's still a relevant topic. I have also…
Tobbo: Thanks, but I am a bit confused on what you're saying since what I posted is actually not flat textures. The actual model was first created in highpoly and then I created a low game resolution from that model. Perhaps it's due to it being shown in still images but here is an image of only the normals. The panels,…
