You've got a series of different problems right now that you've kind of lumped into one issue. However we can break these down so their easier to solve on their own. I believe the first problem is you haven't really nailed down what you want to be or do in terms of a 3D artist. You've done hard surface modeling for a year…
Hey guys! I may have been silent for a few days but my brain has not stopped working! Glad to see more interest, as the more people involved the better I think this will be, even this early. I am still turning lot of things over in my head (I don't see this starting for few weeks yet) but I did want to get some of the…
Hello, I'm working with a small team to try to develop a grand strategy game, something along the lines of Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis. I'm acting as the lead coder, but I have very little experience with 3D games. We were trying to create a flat map which 3D units could stand on top of, but I was unsure how this…
In my computer science studies we also have modules about artifical intelligence and learning algorithms. Very complex stuff. But there are tools that enables even single developers to start building such projects. The main problem here is the lack of interesting data to learn from. I am certain that AI in ~200-400 years…
Wow, it's actually been longer than I thought. Kind of went on a downward spiral, it was finally hitting home that I'm out of school again and also that I kinda blew a few projects, so I took a step back for a minute to assess. Been doing a ton of 2D work in the meantime, which... actually didn't help because now I'm…
Justin_Mesisse: But isn't that what the president of Epic was talking about recently? Changing the mentality of development cycles and how they think of games? Making dev cycles not as epic big. I know that Sony companies help each other out. Like Naughty Dog influences Insomniac and Sucker Punch, and you see it a lot, and…
I'm going to just stop this before I end up deleting it. I've fiddled about with the lowpoly, the highpoly, the unwrap and textures and nothing really looks right. When I started this it was my first real attempt at making a HP to LP bake model. I've learned a lot though, and thats really all that matters. The design isn't…
You're a great artist and even though you would do great if you switched back to illustration I'd hate to see you stop making awesome game art. I feel for ya, I work for a small company and started out doing environmental art. Each enviro artist has a huge amount of creative freedom and is responsible for a few…
Click on the image above ^^ My housemate has created this awesome little stop motion piece for the Red Bull Canimation competition. All you have to do is watch it to get it higher up in the ranking system. Comments and likes if you have a vimeo account will help too. Unfortunately the voting system is completely flawed and…
Hey thanks Aim :) I'll try to put in some more of the detail One of the problems I've run into already is the steps :( I want to push this back, however I know that can't simply be done due to the connecting geometry. I've been trying to wrap my head about going about this but I can't find a solution. Basically, I want…
