Re: In what render should I invest time (or money)?
if you applying for games jobs it only going to help to know unreal and/or unity. the learning curve for the offline renders is a little higher so unless you have a need I wouldn't bother. They are pretty cool to mess with, especialyl if you get used to real time renderers, but you can easily spend an entire day just… -
Re: Trigger animation clips (Maya)
Yea, it's an interesting thing to have tried to do but possibly not that useful in the long run :P. Starting to set this up in the game engine definitely sounds like a good plan to me. It'll take long enough to get all your animations working nicely in your engine so it's probably worth investing time in that now rather… -
Re: How far someone can go without drawing skill as character modeler?
I've been doing 3D artwork for 10 years and coding for 15, I'm horrible at drawing and I was never too good at coding either. But neither did I let that stop me on any accounts, I've built game engines and made tons of game models. It's just been a reverse engineer / rinse and repeat ordeal until you get it right.. The… -
Re: Modeling for an MMORPG
Milkshape sucks major ass, that program is one big hunk of crap. Why can't those people write into their FAQ which formats they support? I hope for your animators that they're not animating in Milkshape. Blender is SO superior to that POS, it's almost an insult that MS3d costs 30 bucks while Blender is free. If you cannot… -

The source engine itself isn't 'next-gen'. Besides low… -
Re: alpha bigger than diffuse/normal
yup, totally engine dependent. The ones that let you do that normally require it to be the same aspect ratio. So if your diffuse is 512x512 your alpha shouldn't be 1024x2048, one will be scaled to fit the other (normally the alpha will scale to the diffuse) which can cause artifacts when things are mip'ed. If you're up… -

Someplace to not just show WIP but also to discuss level layouts and theory as well. Now of course I realize plenty of people show off their level designs here at polycount, but the emphasize is…
