Here is a good one by Ben Bolton. It's divided into 4 sections. http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/next-gen-weapon-creation-day-1-the-high-poly-model/ I learned a lot from it. Good luck :)
It's not next-gen till you add blue rim light! Thanks Epic! Looking nice man, I didn't expect the dirty sanchez stache, not sure how I'm feeling about it yet, but cool style on all the rest.
I'd agree. UT3 is a great engine. plus showing that you have experience working with it is great as there are MANY studios that use it. and they said the torchlight editor should be out by Monday. Not exactly next gen stuff, but it looks very very promising.
Yes, i'm surprised that it isn't following the next gen specs rules... wasn't 2*2048*2048 old news already? But very nice references, gold is crap to make it look decent on a non-normal maped model already.
yay im in the next gen!!! but my first worry: it says, fairly clearly on my Forza 2 DVD case that it is not for resale. ummmm.... guess i can't replace it? or return it for store credit? anyways, time to plug my baby in!
Sean how much next gen stuff is covered in this book? I probably know the stuff already but I was curious. I'll probably check it out and see for myself if it ever sells in the US. yeah lame joke... Congrats. Alex
Big improvement, and nice to see you're working on a next gen mod. That one scrolling/wasted area issue still seems to hold strong, so I took a pic of it so you can see http://chrisholden.net/areyoulookingatmyheadgeart.jpg
And people are already complaining about all games looking the same in the current ("next-gen") generation... if this really becomes the norm be ready for a hole new LEVEL of "looking the same" (and in the beginning also probably very sterile and "that CG rendered" look).
Thank god you put tape on it, or else it wouldn't of been next gen spec! What's with the fad with tape on guns? A lot of the time people just put that crap on there randomly to increase the indie functionality on it. I see NO functionality of it being there.
I totally dig Phantasy Star, and I passed on the PSO games for last gen, but I really want to give this one a shot. Unfortunately I don't have a 360 yet, but that may change very soon, with this and Gears on the horizon.
