Doesn`t have to be third-world. I know people who charge super cheap and live in expensive places like Tokyo. He lives in a studio, can crank out sprite art (retro as well) like no ones business. He is really fast and decent quality. Every once in a while he will do a high paying long term gig. But the $15~$20 per asset…
Depends on the situation. For one developer just switching to the pro version for Mac/PC it's only $1500. But for a 4 man team working on mobile games (ios/android) you're looking at 4x (1500+1500+1500+500) = $20.000, or 20% of revenue. Not a bad deal, no, but significant, yes. The biggest benefit of Unity versus UDK is…
The problem with having stuff like that is that after the first 20 or so guys you kill, you tend to stop noticing it. I think FEAR did the gore well, as most of the time when you killed someone, they went "Oww" and fell over. Occasionally a limb would fly off, or their head would part ways with their neck and you could…
Thanks for the comments guys! :) It's hard to tell how many hours it took, I worked on it on my spare time, sometimes 2-3 hours, sometimes 5-6 during weekends. Roughly I would say it took about 20-25 hours, but I can't tell for sure. I have no idea who Eric Keller is, so no I didn't follow his work. :P Thanks man! :)…
There is actually a viral email that used the "returned mail" subject at one point, I have forgotten the name. Basically DaZ, if you are getting like 5-8 of these a day, it probably isn't anything related to your machine being infected, it's probably just more junk. If you ran your A/V software and the malware cocktail…
wow, the interaction between the two just screams anckwardness! They both seem to want to talk about their own opinion and experiences a little too much, so much that it isnt interesting to the viewer anymore. In the last 20 minutes it gets kind of annoying that Chris Crawford is trying to say something, but the other guy…
totally love this game playing with a friend coop and its really nice. whats really nice is that noone points you directly to a quest, and noone tells you how this riddle works, so you have to solve that yourself and the difficulty is nice, not too easy, you will die if you get unlucky or screw up also coop is so much fun,…
I just got this guy last week: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWRJBM/ref=asc_df_B002HWRJBM1876025?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B002HWRJBM"]Amazon.com: Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX for PC and Mac: Electronics[/ame] I love it, love it, love it. Wired or wireless,…
Did you convert the skinwrap to skin ? Maybe the weght is under 0.000 like 0.0009 There s a remove zero weight button to remove all weight under a certain value in the skin modfier. Also, most of the times, engines don't support that a vertex is influenced by more than 4 bones (for optimization i guess). So in the…
If its set to 80 it's 20% wrong. You need to set it to 100 to get the same effect as a real time shader, full normal replacement. You could still have smoothing errors at 100 but they'll never be completely fixed if you leave it at 80, I also would not recommend mental ray. It's not designed for normal maps. Even the max…
