Partially, yes. It *IS* a self fulfilling prophecy in certain respects, but the root cause seems to have been bad/greedy investments around subprime mortgages - lending money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. There is no such thing as recession proof, but it *SEEMS* that as already stated videogames are part of…
Hi, I am a 3D artist with game dev experience, including 2 shipped Steam titles (Tron inspired games ROOT and VR shooter DEADLOCK). I also created most of the art for Denizen (still in pre alpha). Check out my full portfolio on Artstation If you are interested in working together feel free to contact me here or email…
Maybe someone can formulate a main News entry out of this, didn't see a Thread for this yet. As several major Gaming Sites Report Adam Adamowicz, Bethesdas main Concept Artist for Fallout 3 passed away on 9th February. The guys of Awesome Robo have a longer part about him and his work.…
Hey all, Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to keep the feet planted when working with an animation layer in Max 2014. I set the feet to be planted, but when I add an animation layer and tweak the positioning of the root bip01, the entire body moves with it ignoring the fact that the feet are planted. I can't…
These animations are looking good :-) I do agree with Stromberg90 about showing more weights it some spots. One thing that would help is to rotate the root/hips of the character. This should especially make a difference in the impact of his first landing and when his feet come off the ground where he lifts the car. Hope…
Select all the meshes and Delete Non-Deformer History. Also, enable Bake Animation from the FBX export dialog. To avoid the Bind Pose errors, when applying Bind Skin: * the root joint should not be a child of any other node * set the options Use Selected Joints (with your joints selected) * uncheck Remove Unused Influences…
DDO creates large files and placing them on your desktop is a bad idea as are any large files. The best solution would be to get an SSD drive and install DDO on it and work from that drive. If that's not an option then try creating a folder in the root of C: called something like ddo and work from there. What are your…
The first zsphere is the root zsphere. With the draw tool active click on the sphere and drag out to the approximate size you want. Then let the mouse loose and select the move tool (top left of the screen) now drag out the new zsphere. If uou dont like the size use the scale tool click on the sphere and drag to resize it.…
Going to try and do an update every day this weekend. I'm trying to finish this by next Friday or Saturday. Here's where it's at now. Tomorrow I'm going to start the smaller foliage and by Sunday I hope to have it placed around the map so I have 5 days to polish everything and do the finishing touches like tree roots and…
I like how it looks. My only comments are the two separate style with the site header/body/etc. Also, (it would take some real-state) adding some separation between characters might be nice. For example, a horizontal line, or some space between scarecrow, your Brawl entry, and so on. I love your work. I'm rooting for ya!
