Re: Interview with Lorne Lanning (Oddworld creator)
my hat's off to the guy for giving EA the finger for being dicks about not marketing a quality game. And the fact that he held firmly to the IP is probably the only reason it wasnt ruined under EA's clutches. however, i wonder whether his commentary can be carried over to the pc gaming market... sure we've got next-gen… -
Re: Crap artist can't get job, whines about it
So because his work isn't good enough for the current gen, it'd be a shoe-in for older tech? I couldn't disagree more. He lacks any skill in texturing, and I see no reason to believe he could achieve great results with low polycounts. You've never struck me as a particularly troll-ish or stupid person, so I'll reserve my… -
Re: UE3 Light casting sharp shadows
all my dynamic shadows look like this once my scene grows past a certain point of complexity. but the dynamic shadows are only for preview purposes anyway all lighting is supposed to be baked to vert-colors and light-maps in unreal engine 3 .... i know i know thats not next gen and i agree. if you want to use dynamic… -
Re: Gundam - ASTRAY red & blue
Thanks for the comments guys, I apprecite it. It's probably gonna sit at 16000 until I figure out what I want to do with it texture-wise one day. Unfortunately the parts just added up with the amount of joints & surface detail. I don't know if I'll try to make this something practical for current gen games or just shelf it… -
Re: Console Hacking 2010
Absolutely, and I'm sure it'll be a bit of both. The more games shift to online the more that is lost over time. Game patches, game servers, dlc, etc. , these are all things that once this gen is over will no longer exist if the hackers don't intervene. On the PS3 even demos are time limited before they're removed from the… -
Re: Manhole Cover
best word evaar anyways, very nice manhole cover. In a next gen sewer game this would be awesome, just needs a glow map.:thumbup: also: if this is meant to be practice for game art (i would guess) then try to keep your maps at a perfect square (256x256, 512x512) or make a cone to sit on top of the manhole cover and use… -
Re: an interesting business model
Who knows, maybe next gen we'll see the industry switch over to a subscription based model. Rent consoles (like with old cable boxes) and pay a monthy service charge for download and playing games. And then have a 'budget' subscription available that depending on the game either puts advertisements directly in the game or… -
Re: Education (university and work experience)
Yea after talking with a lot of people, and listening to you guys, Ive decided to stick it through. I have three art classes left. I plan on taking one per quarter so I can actually get some good work out of them, then just finish up my gen ed as fast as possible after that. I hate the idea of being at school for another… -
Re: Old+older Portfolioz, Shred it!
Make it clear what position you are going for . You have environment work and characters on that page and weapons . You need to concentrate on one or the other and become really good at one of them . Also you need High resolution work on there . Most companies are doing Next-gen games and so you'll need to show you can do… -
Re: Can I extract any normal maps from a subD model?
haha thnx a lot guys! Well, I'm not exactly new to 3D, I've actually graduated from The Art Institute of Vancouver... but to be honest, the teaching there sucked didn't really get much out of it and we were not taught about anything next gen at all. That's why I'm here seeking for help and I've got them! thnx a lot guys!…
