Re: Degree and College Advice
I graduated from DigiPen, it was my ticket out of the midwest as an 18 year old. I don't recall where I placed that piece of paper but it does manage to sap my income every month. HOWEVER as much as paying for school sucks, I have a huge network of other DigiPen-related people which makes it much easier now. I learned a… -
Re: News worth a read?
I am too in the favor of their action upon the teenage-adult gamers but still though. I personally do not have time to play too much game in one day because I have soo much other stuff to do like school work, job, personal studies and practices. After every day if I get a chance to play one Starcraft game or one League of… -
Re: Building my Portfolio - Need your Feedback ;)
I understand you can not incorporate every piece of advice, but honestly that redesign would be like a few mins maybe an hour of work. As of right now that sticks out to me the most. The design is ok especially considering it is a fantasy sword like Wow style games. Just a general tip. The strongest designs I have seen in… -
Re: First Person Police arms - Marmoset
Thanks guy's. About the symmetry thing i didn't thought to much about, special because you almost never see both side in the same position. But about the scare, i can fix it easy.. just move the mapping of the finger to an other finger.. think this will be enough. I just noticed right now about how fat the fingers are and… -
Re: Texture map general rules?
Well, quite often you'll want to essentially atlas yourself - it can be a big performance gain especially on mobile (although it was quite common for last gen consoles too) - so yeah having a lot of stuff on one texture can be rather useful but you can go too far where you have super large textures causing hitches.… -
Re: Tree branch textures - what am I doing wrong?
Give the branch itself some depth, in other words instead of working on it in your 3D software as a flat texture, more around the branches up, down etc. You could add AO information in it unless you are looking at PBR. Other than that it's hard to do more than that. But now that we are moving towards next-gen you should… -
Re: Pimp your rig!

Re: Unreal 2k4 env. -- Floating Islands (Large Images)
awesome work here!!! Dunno why, but I always get excited by old-school graphics more that by nex-gen ones... I would add that in the area near the lake one may see very evident pattern in ground texture. I would suggest adding more details into ground and make less tiles. Sometimes UE generates not really good MIP maps,… -
Re: piracy in the videogame industry
I still very much doubt that most 'lost sales' are really lost sales, as people only have a limited amount of money to spend. And copying has always been positivly used by the game industry. The free advertisement helps (if it is a good game), and why do you think the PSX became so popular? I bet that is also one of the… -
Re: LCD tv gaming question.
I'm pretty sure that 720p is a newer standard than 1080i. The latter does have a higher resolution, but the signal is interlaced (meaning only half of the horizontal lines of resolution are displayed at a time, oscillating between even and odd lines of resolution several times a second to create the appearance of 1080…
