Re: VFX Portfolio
Some really nice effects here. A few points about the bouncing betty: The pieces don't fly out like you'd expect considering the force of the explosion. Their flight describes a gentle arc instead of the almost horizontal outward movement you'd expect, especially since you have trails in there. Not 100% sure if the trails… -
Re: ZBrush Subtool Question
There are two ways you can achieve what you are going for off the top of my head. You can use local symmetry, which works with most symmetrical geometry even when you move/transpose its positon. It should be on your right close frame toolbar (stock UI layout), somewhere near the perspective, transparency, and solo buttons,… -
Re: Tired Game Mechanics Discussion
Ah yes, the Jorg of Ancrath approach. This is why I really like sandbox or ImSim type games (Deus Ex, Dishonored, to a much lesser extent STALKER/Arma) that give you freedom to figure out solutions to problems, rather than having one fixed way to progress. The original Deus Ex was fantastic at giving you options and not… -
Re: 5 reasons why the (AAA) game industry is about to crash
Cool article, and I think it brings up some really good points. That said, can anyone cite any economic data that shows the video game industry will crash? Atari 2600 doesn't account for GenX+ Millenials who grew up with a controller in their hand. AAA can't crash. It can however EVOLVE. Even if consoles crash, AAA games… -
Re: Deform wrapped eye w/projection not working right
I'm still looking through the info you've posted and the tutorial. Thanks! These eyes have really given me problems, so its great to have advice and feedback. I'll try to explain this a little more: I have a cartoony character with elongated non-spherical eyes. The eyes are each individually in lattices which are wrap… -
Re: prince of persia :two thrones
I beat it the other day...loved it...yeah, that climbing bit is a bit of a pain, but you can hear when he shoots, and you just have to make sure that you are on top of the rock/pole - and not hanging from it - when you get hit, and the prince should grab the edge and save you from a messy end. That boss was a piece of cake… -
Re: Quickest path from Zbrush to UE4 without autodesk and blender
I'm not sure how this is going to work, you need some kind of middle generalist package software to clean up your models, preview them, stress test them so they don't cause issues (flipped flaces, empty cull faces which might leak light in the game engine, etc) like it or not. Topgun is great, but the updates can be slow,… -
Re: America: time to panic?
It's not time to panic. Our country has recovered from far worse economic problems. In 6-12 months we're going to be absolutely booming again, perhaps better than before. Everything gets worse before it gets better. It's pretty bad right now, but a lot of analysts are seeing a turn around in the near future. It will… -

Re: Mercenary (WIP)
jocose - it´s ok. I don´t mind any comment regarding anything you think that should be improved. I was reading your post a while before I was going to bed and if I remember that right you were mentioning that there was something weird about the eyes. It actually helped me to realize that the specular map I had attached to…
