AAA projects imho never uses premade assets. That's why they are AAA. But everybody else in fact does these days. That's why there is an asset store for Unity or Unreal. In the end it's allowed what works. So simply try it out. If it fits to your needs, stick with it. If not, search for replacement.
my .02's incoming. When working on items, they aren't already packed into the uv space before you move onto the next one? Since you are making packs. Why not keep them separated items separated & when you are ready to pack multiple items together in an atlas then also provide the atlas versions? or variations of atlas…
It's best to put enough polys in to a character so that it does not look low poly/chunky. why make extra polys where they are not needed? I mean a mesh that has 60,000 tris is not going to look a lot different if it is has 100,000 tris , unless there some particular details that would need to look extra smooth or if he has…
Why though? There’s a communication system right here already, you’re inside it. I guess some people prefer the Discord style chat, there is a Polycount one and it’s thriving (https://polycount.com/discussion/170535/polycount-discord-slack-skype-hangout-etc#latest). Not my cup of tea personally, but I get it, people like…
I guess that's where I see it differently. It is becoming more accessible, not just for programmers, but for everyone. I'm certainly no programmer either, nor do I want to be. But I like where blender is going - even in its alpha state. They are opening it up to the user in a way that is not possible in autodesk apps yet.…
Interesting! I am curious why we deserve(d) better? (Full disclosure: I was one of the art leads for AC Unity). For most artists I know who worked on the game, its pretty unanimous it was the best looking game we've worked on, and, to what I know, no one was creatively oppressed. I wouldn't be surprised to hear if the…
Be really good. Its as simple as that. If your work is not up to the quality of the shipped games of the studio your applying to why on earth do you think they would want to hire you? Senior vs Junior is only time in the industry. There are tons of new people who are WAY better than people who have been doing it for years.…
Hammerite Compendium of Precepts, Regimens and Rules of Conduct, Vol. 94: 'Guard thy tongue from falsehood as thou gardest thy purse from a Jackablade.' Not sure why exactly I decided to go around calling myself a pickpocket, but I decided that it had to be my handle the moment I read it in Thief: The Dark Project. I also…
If you can get a degree for free.. why not just get it. Im certain that most people who go to school for graphic design, game art, animation etc deal with shit people and shit teachers but ultimately its starting to seem like more and more jobs require some sort of a degree, and i would imagine the only time (if its a…
I dunno why everyone said his creepy voice was overperformed, to me it sounded the same as the Emperor from the original 3 (especially since it's the same actor!). However the scene around that time was ridiculous, the Jedi Council were like "Quick let's send some people to fight this deadly powerful Sith Lord in such a…
