I read this. Then looked at the studios work. Kinda made me look at his article in a different light after that. Also the semi-attack on environment art and env artists hide because they can't do characters or however he worded it is a total douchebag thing to say. Perhaps a long time ago characters were the bread and…
I agree with Johny as well. The TF2 community, for example, is full of smarmy fools who think they have the greatest ideas since sliced bread. If you give those people the ability to not only contribute ideas but funds as well, then they'll have an even worse misplaced sense of entitlement than before and any gaming…
It still doesn't appeal to me just yet. Looks like we have two camps so far, those that don't see anything they can connect to yet and don't plan on seeing it and those that think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'll check it on on rental. I think the majority of the talk is in the new '3D' talks being applied…
So quick summary of my situation. I left the marine corp about a year ago and am able to use the gi bill to pay for schooling. Ive finally come to a decision and I want to put 100% effort into becoming a game artist. I would like to focus on 3d modeling, 2d texturing, possibly animation. Now to the bread and butter. I know…
Last time was a small update, I am afraid this is a big one!!! As I wrote in our newsletter: The autumn is here and the best of it, we can spend more time inside and creating art! :poly124: I am glad to tell, the game is done! Unfortunately only on paper. :-( We locked down all the levels and feature so NOTHING can be…
Skankerzero you are wrong, i'm the second to point this out to you. you have the right idea but its backwards. below is a graphic that i found. ps. I love it when someone has already done what i originally set out to do. its truely a beautiful thing. especially for time wasters like forums, to explain to someone something…
[ QUOTE ] Do you remember the macworld video 99 of the first halo game? Tell me anything around that same period that looked even half as good. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not looking to start anything because I agree with your core point. It was pretty good looking to those who had not been playing games on the PC. For console people…
When I say 'unique mechanic', I'm referring to a one-off quest that required special programmer, AI and or UI time to pull off. The stuff in circle tower would be a good example of that. Unique compared to the bread-and-butter quest of the main game. Saying the gameplay is the same as KOTOR or NWN means I'm not sure we…
You've been warned :) A guy that says you will not get paid if he does not manage to sell the work he ordered from you is clearly not trustworthy. That is a big NO NO in freelancing. Does a baker only pay his wheat once he has sold his bread? And you need a contract it's not even an option it is legaly required, it is the…
Things that motivate a young man looking to make it in the industry 1. Family: Love 'em. Would not be the man I am today without these people. 2. Friends: Same boat as family. Always pushing me to make something of myself someday. 3. Games: Video games of course!!!! The sweetest thing since sliced bread. Board games,…
