Re: Best 4k Laptop for game design and Photography?
All laptops are going to be 4k I'm the next year or two, I would rather get a 4k one to stay ahead of the curve, also I have 2 4k 32inch monitors, everything runs fine and is scaled. I was looking at some 1080p monitors a couple weeks ago at Best Buy and next to the 4k Lenovo they looked really fuzzy and bad to me, the… -
Re: Tech art blog, aimed at simplifying the tech for artists...
Hey this is cool, I'm looking forward to seeing articles that cover more advanced topics. I would say that this first blog is a bit too short, it ends right before it gets good. I'd like to see how you can apply this knowledge, like using 3 point vectors in unreal to manipulate normal maps or tint albedo maps, with… -
Re: The Beast - SAGE OccultArt
Thanks for all the positive reactions. I have been thinking about the character I want to create. I know there should be some rules in this competition, however: - I think the 100.000 tris limit is too tight and should be upwards of 200.000, at least for the character I want to create. Current gen 'the order' has over… -
Re: Non Square Texture to Reduce Texture Lookups: Yay Or Nay?
If it's for a portfolio piece, don't worry about it too much, merging them shows you at least thought about optimizing. If ever you do work on an engine that doesn't like rectangular textures, you don't need to be a genius to know how to separate those rectangular maps again. On a side note though, draw calls isn't the… -

Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
@pior, It's a good discussion. Where I'm coming from with my advice is when a studio involves offsite contractors and allows remote work even for permanent staff (especially when they're sick). Why should I stay late (10 hours and up) as an on-site staff artist, really just for "show" to impress a manager, when I could go… -
Re: work in progress trollie
First thing that comes to mind is that you have way too many loops in one direction and too few in other. Most obvious example is the horns. Yes, they are very rounded, but that doesn't show in the silhouette, and what does show is that they are very angular as they bend. Try to use your edges wisely, and only use a bit… -
Re: The Death March Problem of Crunch Time.
I'm with Two Listen here - I dont see how art crunch can make a game better, and I don't think I understand the reasoning behind crunch time at all. It's like, punishing the devs people, just because manager/producers fucked up ? We had studio crunch time at school on final projects, but that was understandable - time was… -
Re: Student Katana, looking for crits!!
Nice! Like the metal shader :) However there are a few inaccuracies as I used to own a real Katana myself and not a cheap one either... Tsuba (hilt) - Is too thin and flimsy making it look like a replica. The edges of this are always bevelled slightly for two handed comfort and usually they have some shape and decoration… -
Re: Something people don't know about you
[ QUOTE ] I have social anxiety disorder. I don't like being in crowded places with people I do not know. I don't like people I don't know touching me. I'll clam up and get very nervous, sweating a lot. I started suffering from this when I was 19/20 yrs old I have tinnitus. Ringing in the ears that never goes away. Side…
