Hi Everyone, I'm a Lead Evironment Artist at Creative Assembly. Working on Total Wars Campaign map is my principle domain and area, and as such I noticed recently my 2d skill have gone a little downhill from the standards I set myself when I was younger, so I've decided to do sketch a day to get my skills back on track..…
I don't work in the art industry any more, but here is my two cents coming from a programmer's perspective: Don't give up. At 22 you still have plenty of time to experiment with positions (that sounds kinky) and jobs. If you have the mindset of not taking life too seriously and you are able to have a social life and…
Hey man sorry to hear about the news, this type of things sucks and I should know. Ive been through 3 relationships which all ended in flames in the past 2 years, much of the reasons were based on the fact that Im a workaholic! Not only that but I used the same exact reason when breaking up with my last girlfriend I…
Two reasons come to mind putting aside the realistic side: 1) Usually exposed panels and electronics scream "machinery" and "high tech" and "important stuff being done right here" in a snap. In sci-fi flicks it helps keep the suspension of disbelief kicking. 2)It gives you something to look at. Now regarding your view on…
Mount Horu Hub My next big task and that was a 3 weeks big task was to setdress and polish the hub you enter right behind the entrance gate. But I didn't have to do this alone. Kaja and I started simultanously on duplicates of the scene to setdress the black blockout. Its easy to bring stuff back together later in Unity.…
>Starting thread for a debate with an answer already, nice. I guess congress is leaking :) Fighting old age bigotry (ei: D&D made your worship the devil) with new age bigotry (ei: something is being made for it's own sake and I don't like, hence it shouldn't exist) are the same thing. You would think with over 600…
Hey everyone, in this thread i will be sort of documenting my progress on a project i am working on. It`s essentially a scene/part of a level inspired by Tomb Raider and Uncharted, involving a base structure similar to the Temple of Karnak in Egypt. Gameplay wise, the main objective is finding a way up to the top level of…
You don’t say? I suspect the merger with Adobe has a lot less to do with pushing the
envelope as their PR department would have us believe and more in line with
Sebastien Deguy's megalomania. Allegorithmic was championed by their customer base not only
for their innovative tools but also for their progressive pricing…
These people believe in eye for an eye, right? They consider this a holy war, right? We should take them up on their offer and take a few "hostages", like occupy Mekka and threaten to completely annihilate the city if there's one more terrorist attack on a western nation with a "jihad" group claiming responsibility. If…
I've used a home-built standing desk for two years and have been doing all my computer work at it. I'm an indie dev and use that setup several hours per day. I combine that with using a graphics tablet instead of a mouse, which seems to give me fewer arm/shoulder/hand problems. The reason to get it was that I suffered from…
