I agree wth Yazora overclockers are great and they hav a forum too and you can read up on all the tech stuff first. I just did an upgrade with parts from them. Its not that complicated really, it just takes a bit of reading up. you should be able to get your money back, or at the very least they should swap the parts for…
I think I know what you mean, sometimes I don't post on threads with "bad" models in them, not because I don't want to help, but because it'd be so damn difficult to explain everything that I'd want to see fixed or changed, and to do it in such a way that didn't imply "give up now" to the artist. RageUnleashed is right -…
Adventures In Purgatory - Now known as "Not the End" An Adventure RPG set in the worlds of both Hell and Purgatory, in development by a small indi team of developers is looking for dedicated artists who want to be part of something bigger then the sum of it's parts. If you want to be a part of a creative effort to bring a…
What Nfrrtycomplx said pretty much sums it up, Map all your elements in two separate maps. Make One with all your body fleshy parts and you can give more pixel space to the things you think would need more details ( the face in particular). the other one with the rest of your character and every other thing that he might…
Alright, as requested here are some asset and map breakdowns. I am still working on getting wireframes rendered. I experimented a bit in UDK and still want to try out the Marmoset option I've been told repeatedly about. @ PVJ : Thanks! The above represent the "majority" of the major assets. I grouped some of the ones that…
Have fun, I've got work conflicts this year so I can't go, but last year was my first and it was amazing. ZacD basically summed up what I'd have said. Aside on Tenderloin: Last year at GDC I tried walking up to Union Square and went down Ellis St instead of Stockton (they had that construction going on there). This was at…
Thanks for all those positive comments! Very appreciated. :thumbup: Mr Smo : I'll do decals and vertex blending and all the polish later on, that will probably be the last thing I do right after some props. It is indeed much needed. And you're totally right about the AO being way too sharp and strong, I'll keep that in…
Dam this post seems to be mostly guys speculating. So here is my experience so far its limited to only one company thus far. There was a total of 4 females in an office of about 60, two of us were artists and the others in the HR. Most of the guys didn't know how to approach me, and I was beyond nervous as this was my…
The birds do a good job on putting the eye back to the people. Maybe you could place some tree shadows on ground, with their light/shadow shapes pointing at the couple or any other place you want as well, they could form a stream, like a line of action, similar to the light effect you have on the couple form. The crossed…
What I don't understand is that all of the major publishers/console makers are going to start hosting their own smaller press events and I'm guessing smaller conventions opened to the public. How is this saving them money? It leaves more onto them, they must rent out a space, set up their kiosks, hire people, supply…
