I think it probably depends heavily on the engine and the pipeline, too. Engines that work with FBX/Alembic/etc become pretty agnostic to the 3D application used to generate them. So long as the 3D app can export files that contain the information the engine wants/needs, that is. Although, artists passing complex assets…
seems that the renderer has some issues,- did you tried some other render solutions or packages? perhaps not exactly related but I wanted to create once pixel perfect e-boy style renderings in 3dsmax and got issues as well: anyway those tests brought me eventually to finalToon…
Hey all, it's been quite a while but I've got some updates. I'm sort of learning a lot of this stuff as I go, and I'm quite a perfectionist so it took me a really long time and a lot of fiddling to get all the baking for normals and whatnot perfect and to find the best way of baking some different pieces of reference mesh…
[ QUOTE ] Would you keep someone around if they just cost you several millions, because they were 'right?' Perhaps you would - I'd like to think I could afford that choice as well. But realistically, it is not going to happen, and didn't. [/ QUOTE ] This is why review sites/magazines shouldn't rely heavily on advertising…
Yeah easily replaced, i'm building my GF a cheap PC and got this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052 I'll let you know if it blows up when i put it together =D If you can save a little by getting something with a crappy PSU, then go for it! Also, i would buy something with the worst possible…
if you dont have a nice Intous I'd look at one of those, or if you dont have a legal copy of photoshop that's always a good investment if you expect to do any freelancing. A nice 24" or pair of 21" monitors are always good investments...or if you dont feel bad about spending it all in one place...this:…
The rules have tightened up in the UK over the last few years, and a points system has *JUST* been introduced. I think it starts next week. Disclaimer - I'm not a lawyer. To get in via a work sponsor (Tier 2), the company needs to be registered, and then you need to score above a certain points score. To get in without a…
No Metroid started as a 2D side scroller adventure game where you did some shooting but mostly had to explore, find and collect items to progress. Granted there were enemies along the way, but it was always an adventure game. Metroid Prime was the same, it was never a FPS, it was always a "First Person Adventure Game".…
I'm not a huge fan of those kind of image viewers but don't really have much against 'em. If you do decide to go with 'em, I'd add some sort of indicator showing that there are more thumbnails than just those visible, such as arrows on the side that grey-out when you've scrolled in one direction as far as you can go or a…
The main time grinding bothers me is when there's a locked path to reach certain items based on very specific goals like some of the battlefield games do. Where you HAVE to use a specific weapon for a long time and do specific things to make any progress meanwhile you're gimped at the start once you want to do something…
