Game Mechanic Studios is looking for mid or senior level environment artist for a full time position. The ideal candidate would be familiar with Unreal Engine 4 and/or Unity as well as the modern pipeline for current gen asset creation. GMS is located in North Hollywood, CA, but working remote is possible upon request. GMS…
this is estreamly bad advice. and your claim about blender is absurd. i honestly think certain people give out bad advice to try and prevent people from learning proper tools and getting jobs so they have less competition. anyone who would suggest blender for anything to someone who wants to learn 3d art at university so…
@greevar: Currently I have a 550W or a 500W PSU - need to double check, but it's one of those two. Either way, I had a feeling having 2 cards would be too much for my system. @Artifice: I'll look into getting a 1GB model instead. Hopefully I can find one in-store [I generally dislike ordering hardware online]. I've heard…
@Eric Chadwick So as far as the models and textures go nothing is from the asset store, we use the asset store for systems that save us time like water, weather systems and shaders. I did buy some diffuse textures for grass but I had to change so much to them and create extra textures to get them to work with other shaders…
Tldr: Theres always hope! In the last polycount upgrade thread this was discussed and i think something is gonna happen. May just be the tagging system they're planning on using, an then just add another to mark gold or something. A idea to save on admin work would be; "Featured post" tag on a post marks it as awesomesauce…
Third-person shooter, open world? multiplayer? rpg elements? If your struggling just making an inventory system, everything else is going to drown you. Take a look at an actual successful University game's design document : http://www.nuclearmonkeysoftware.com/documents/narbacular_drop_game_design_document.pdf It's a very…
Each object has a unique ID number, the name is just a property that YOU see. Max sees "object 345678" Which happens to be a box with a property called "Box001". You can have two objects with the same name property just like you can have a box with identical height parameters. You don't have to worry about max mixing…
Sonicblue, as much as I like FF 12 visuals and universe, the battle system was well thought when put on paper but sadly became boring onto execution. I'll tell you; the gambit automatic action system ruined it. It came quickly to the point where, my character would directly approach an enemy and start doing the required…
It has definitely helped to work on something that is a little less stressful, asset-wise. Even this project has been crazy though and without our awesome artist carl, and other guys who have helped, we wouldn't have been able to get as far as we have. I am hoping to pull together the basic functionality of the editor and…
Mighty: It is a feature of Mircorsoft Plus! for any MS OS. I think its under multi-media or sounds and audio devices/sound tab, inside the control panel. That doesn't mean you can't pull off something close on a non Plus! system. There is free/trial alarm clock software you can download onto thier system and set a chime or…
