Yes, you read that right. I finally sat down and watched Episode IV: A New Hope for the first time in my life. I plan on watching the other two later but I was wanting to start a discussion on the series. So, I liked Star Wars. I think it was pretty good. The art direction was great, the alien designs were crazy awesome,…
I've been developing tools for the Source Engine for years. It's become my bread and butter. One of the things I've found odd all along is how married to Hammer so many users are in the world. I also started with Worldcraft/Hammer years ago. But I've long since moved away from using Hammer. Many people seem to be tied to…
[ QUOTE ] Sometimes you have to work with what you're given. Happens all the time in production. [/ QUOTE ] QFT. This is the second game I've been animating characters that someone else has built. This person has been asked to create a new style for our charcters and blaze a new path. In my opinion this person isn't always…
I agree with Johny as well. The TF2 community, for example, is full of smarmy fools who think they have the greatest ideas since sliced bread. If you give those people the ability to not only contribute ideas but funds as well, then they'll have an even worse misplaced sense of entitlement than before and any gaming…
i'd say you are right in that game artists ( or any cg arists for that matter) are moving away from the traditional painter skillset and more towards the traditional sculptor skillset with a bunch of other stuff added on top. that's not to say that necessarily the artists themselves aren't able to paint stuff, it's just…
haha @ Ryno, you left out polluted air heh. sigh... moderation my old friend where have you gone? Even if there wasn't the harmful additives most soda drinkers drink a cane field every year. Is it really that unreasonable to ask people to not consume more then their body needs? Maybe if more people could moderate we…
Well dude, I grew up in a all black neighborhood back in FL my entire life, and some of my good friends were black guys (Me being a puerto rican I get a bit more leighway since Im not full white bread but more that nice wheat brownish colored :p) Anyway it can be used in 2 contexts, 1: it was just a slang way of a add on…
It still doesn't appeal to me just yet. Looks like we have two camps so far, those that don't see anything they can connect to yet and don't plan on seeing it and those that think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'll check it on on rental. I think the majority of the talk is in the new '3D' talks being applied…
I read this. Then looked at the studios work. Kinda made me look at his article in a different light after that. Also the semi-attack on environment art and env artists hide because they can't do characters or however he worded it is a total douchebag thing to say. Perhaps a long time ago characters were the bread and…
not sure about the specifics of the case, it must have been both the 17 year old and the 15 year old pressing charges, as far as i understand you have to actually be charged with a crime in court they can't just put you in there and find out what the crime was and go oh yeah you're guilty of this, whats crazy is he got 10…
