This is looking much better! * Thanks for calling me out on saying it should be "beautiful", hah. I was being lazy and non descriptive. What I should have said was, make sure the spacing and arcs are as smooth as possible, in order to push the floaty dreamy feel. Good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qnQqXr838E *…
Sounds almost exactly like the problem we ran into on our mobile game. Too many small pieces = too many draw calls. What we did: - weld as many models together as possible then save the welded pieces as prefabs. One big piece is almost always better than lots of tiny pieces. - design your world so you can't see to…
Hey guys, Remember when I told you I'd take some reference pictures on my trip to Rome so that you could use it? Well here it is! It turned out waaaay smaller than I thought it would (just enjoying stuff is more fun than walking around and thinking: oh hey that might be a nice textre) but it might be usefull to some. You…
Intro I'm looking to hire a hard surface generalist capable of creating the concept, models and textures for a modular space ship. Ideally I find someone passionate about sci-fi, and space ships in general, who would be interested in forming a working relationship for continuous work. Concept The idea is to create a set of…

Thank you wccrawford! :) Today I'd like to overview the asset workflows. I'm using Modo 801 for everything 3D (modeling/texturing/baking) while pure 2D tasks are done with PhotoLine and FilterForge. Before I start modeling I spend some time finding references, not just images but also 3D models. When I have a good idea…
Avoid advertising buzzwords surrounding monitors (super high contrast 1:100000 is completely false as are most other claims, generally they get away with it from the fact a backlight does allow the monitor to display in that range but only at 1:800-1000 at a time on a good backlit monitor, most I've ever seen out of one is…
Hello again, apologies for the late update, after some issues with my home PC (dem graphics cards man..) I've finally managed to spend some time on it over the weekend and the past week. First of all due to time constraints I have decided to change the purpose of the spell. It no longer CC's random enemies in an area,…
My thoughts: 1. win XP 32 is almost dead(near complete EoL). On the other hand it cannot support more than 3,5Gb of RAM(with dirty tricks). x64 is superior in all the aspects. Vista also offers DX10 and video memory virtualization(which is VERY important when dealing with big meshes... and xp64 cannot do this). Some shops…
Maybe I'm a bit sympathetic now that I'm part of the Evil Ampire, or I see them trying to improve, but layoffs aren't necessarily times for company bashing. There are times, such as the recent Lucas or Midway layoffs, where the action is another manifestation of deep-seated problems and does not address the issues. The…
