you can farm red orbs in mission 7 easily, fill your exceed gauge, run to the red orb rock, dt and kick the crap out of it, restart mission and do it again. takes about 30 seconds and you'll get at least 4000 orbs each time. you can farm red orbs and proud souls in mission three by killing the three monsters at the start…
well because they CAN. imagine stealing apple from 7 11 , and you just fine. no guilt. I remember this happened the institution level, where my teacher's book got pirated by his own publisher. he never receive anything even after he past away. since 2002 the law has been drastically change. but its too late ... brb…
For the press conferences I think G4TV hit it head on. Nintendo got 5/10, MS 7/10 and Sony 8/10. Sounds about right to me. And Ninjas... I actually thought Mario Galaxy looked pretty bad in the gameplay video I saw. Both gameplaywise and graphics it seemed fairly uninspired to me. Probably didn't help that the guy doing…
Well I too also have a long way to go but I've been doing "real" art for over 3 years. In the past I used to mod Half Life 1 and then Source but eventually I moved to 3DS Max and finally UDK. Overall I've been doing this hobby and now career choice for 7 years. Overall you'll find some people are just naturally talented…
Glad you guys like! This project is seriously fun to work on. I got the u.v's all laid out today so Im gonna start textureing. Im gonna try for a sort of hyper-real style with mixes of cartoony and elements of realism thrown in. They are also mapped so they can be normal mapped (no mirroring or sharing u.v's for those who…
Thanks for trying to help, and it seems like Virt's link is going to be my key afterall, thanks for that. Tried going all the way back to the same month as the post in that thread, and it seems like Pixel still doesn't work. Either I misunderstood something, or that thread is dealing with a very specific issue. Just…
In my last class of 22 people; 8 went to work in film/commercials, 4 went to work in games, 3 went to work with architecture and 7 just switched careers because they either weren't good enough(mostly because they didn't try very hard) or they felt that other careers than CG would serve them better. It's the same in any…
well, for overseas work, I think you either need a degree or a like 5 years (or some such number which isn't small but isn't huge either, something like 3-7 i think) of experience to get a work visa in america without trouble. I think there's other ways, but they're harder. I dunno... just regurgitating what little i…
I put in about 5-7 hours a day. of course I have not broken in so my portfolio is my job. I would imagine that once I get in it will go down to an hour or 2 a day. Need to balance everything else in my life( hobbies, my girl, sleep) Plus I find once I hit a wall it's just best to stop no point in spending an hour looking…
100% agreed Vig. Gaming consoles is literally the only field in technology that I can think of that works in ~7-10 year iterations like this. Imagine if we'd had to wait 10 years for the next phone to come out. Then we'd still be sporting flip phones. At the same time, I'm very aware that better hardware =/= better…
