Re: Driving to a studio to apply in person - Good idea, bad idea?
I'm not offended and I don't think anyone else is seriously offended either, these are just words on the internet. But you kind of missed my point, which is that regardless as to the reasoning behind it being a bad idea to drive across multiple states to hand in an application in person, it is still a bad idea. The OP… -
Normalize your textures!
I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe they can help you! Normal maps should always be normalized before final delivery, to make sure the vectors are mathematically correct for optimal shading. It's easy to edit textures in tools like… -
Re: Left 4 dead 1/2 off sale this weekend!
Ah, no. I wasn't doing that bad. We all made it through the first chapter without being knocked out at least. My connection was just feeling bad and the occational lag peaks were disorienting me like hell, so I ended up lagging behind quite a bit. But people were still not-assy about it. Just kindly informing me that I… -
In what specific circumstances are tris bad for deformation, and why?
A lot of these sorts of (usually entry-level) questions about triangle usage culminate in the following understanding: 1) The notion that one should never use tris/ngons is reductive, and there are times when tris are actually beneficial to deformation. 2) Quads get turned into tris at the end of the process, anyway. I'd… -
Re: Game Development adopting Hollywood Culture
Ok, I'll skip the celebrity stuff and go straight to difference in production. Imma talk about games vs working in VFX shop for hollywood. The biggest difference between game and film (hollywood) is bidding. Even with new players this shit never went away. Basically in games, big (and small) publisher own their IP and just… -
Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
Depends on where you work. Some companies have a very crunch-centric culture and some companies would rather push a game's release date than make their employees do overtime, and there are tons of variations in between. Most of the widely publicized problems in the game industry come from a combination of bad management… -
Re: sleep paralysis
It happens to me sometimes, but used to happen a lot more when I was little. Hallucinations suck, had one where horses were jumping over my bed :D All said, it doesnt happen so much anymore unless I go a long long long period of time without sleep. Still, it sucks shit, yeah. Also, when i have really really bad migraines,… -
Re: Valve's new Steam Machine - PC gaming giant Valve unveils new console and it looks great
The price of the cubey console thing isnt bad at all - you'd struggle to build something equivalent with new parts at RRP The closest pre-built mini-pc competition is probably Ryzen hx395 based, those are at least double - if not triple the price and I'm pretty sure the GPU performance is inferior (far better computers for… -
Re: Learning Diary - Zbrush Sculpting for Characters and Creatures.
Hey ! You've finished it ! At least it's something. Posing is not as hard as animating but it's already something not as easy as it may seem and stiffness is not such an easy task to get rid of. The more you'll want to make your character/scene alive, the more complicated it will be to do, ligth, camera position,… -
Re: 3DBidder.com - Make Money Modeling
So, artists bid on these gigs. The hirers most likely going with the lowest offer. You then take 10% of that cash for being an intermediary? I don't like the sound of that. Already a lose/lose situation for any artist using it. I don't think many will like it either - Bidding for jobs is usually the death of freelancing,…
