No more than I'd equate PC and console games. Yes, graphics hardware matters, but not nearly on the level that it does on the 360 or the PS3. The Wii is the most anemic of the consoles, yet it managed to draw a significant crowd through innovative play. Not only that, but how long has it been since the big consoles…
It's much cheaper when you take into consideration that you don't have to pay benefits to those employees. On Star Wars: Kinect (my most recent exp with outsourcing), almost all the vehicles were outsourced to India and came back at excellent quality. When looking at how much they cost, it was easly 1/4th than what most…
Latest update : Sup guys. So, i made an Aston Martin DB9 to gran turismo 5 (ish) specifications a while back, maybe some of you remember it. I was really happy with the end result even though it was slightly unfinished in some places, so I'm starting another similar project. This time though i'm going with my own concept,…
I'm not sure what app you're using, but FK is Forward Kinetics which means the joints are solved in their parent order, IK is Inverse Kinetics which means they are solved in reverse. IK typically there is a end node that you move around and all the joints figure out where they need to be. With FK its the default bone…
We make kinect games at our studio with a very small art team so the logistics of the rage engine would destroy our productivity. I'm trying to steer our lighting tech to fully real time for our next project. Baked lighting was the single biggest bottleneck in our art production last year. Our designers use the agile…
Hey guys! Long time no post in this thread :D Just an update on what's going on in my life.. I got a job at Frontier Developments in Cambridge, UK, around 5 months ago now thanks to a guy who comes on here named 'Pomperi' (who is an absolutely amazing artist btw, I now sit next to him at work and he has taught me so much…
yeah I know that's the great thing, that we have options. What I'm getting at is that it will be difficult to have that kind of control agnosticism and actually have fun, responsive games. As I said, I use a controller for games where a KB&M will not suit, while some will disagree with me (my housemate manages somehow) to…
From our headquarters based in Gorinchem, we create 3D environments which we place in the public space as well as mobile and online on an international level. Are you looking for challenging projects in a fast-growing company with a broad experience? Do you want to be part of an enthusiastic team? We are looking for…
Autocon, you worked on Reach that's cool I'm working on Kinect JoyRide, looking forward to getting my free copy of Reach from Microsoft when it comes out. r_fletch_r, no nothing to do with blowout or exposure. Lightmaps are all multiplied on top of the texture in default baked lighting so LDR lightmaps can only darken…
Execute is a final year project by 9 students from the school Digital Arts and Entertainment. A brilliant professor is being held in a top secret military base where he has to built the greatest war weapons known to mankind against his will. His creations are the perfect soldiers: strong, intelligent and replaceable. The…
