It is not possible to make the surface more reflective without increasing the reflectivity (spec map if using the specular workflow). Specular and reflections are not separate material properties like they may be in old school shaders, in a physically based rendering pipeline, and in reality, there is only specular…
Sooo much better. I know what you're thinking: "Yeah, I saw that trailer, it looked like childish rubbish. I mean how can a movie about an entire world populated by cas be any good?" Well I've got news for ya buddy, not only is this a great film, I'm tossing up whether its Pixar's finest film to date. Certainly on a…

I'm not sure if your still looking for insights on lynda.com or not, but i've used of free methods over the years and learned a lot of bits and pieces and some it stuck and others in one ear an out the other if you know what I mean. The thing with free is they don't tell you enough and your drive ends up being curiousity…
This. Don't let the bluntness of some of the other posts confuse you(the OP) because using something like Zbrush only makes things inefficient if you are working inefficiently with it. What's amateurish is pumping out diffuse textured stock assets that you slap with some photos. Low-poly is the idea here, but the goal is…
I totally hear you. I've been there before, but it can get better! :) The trick to learn about school is that your GPA and your degree/certificate do not mean a damn thing to 99% of the game employers out here. No bullshit, this is coming from someone who has been in the industry for a long time. We just do not care about…
But see this is the problem with your logic, it doesn't make any sense. Who has been calling for people to be shooting "Liberals" in the face? Did this lone crazy guy get all of his ideas from Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh? Or course not. That is just insane you are even suggesting that. It hasn't gotten any better since 08…
This is just a quick progress update. There's nothing to show at the moment, I just wanted to reassure those interested that work has been continuing on this pet project. In response to some of the replies I got, I've been investigating the other available 3D Flash engines. I've focused for the last few days on Away3D, and…
Hey thank you all for replying with all those great comments, I really like good feedbacks like this, it really helps to make a better game. KDR: yes we are very proud of our demo although it's obviously not all perfect! JKMakowka: It's true the buildings are quite large. Tokyo in the demo is something like the 10th…
