This is getting a bit ridiculous. Can we be certain this isn't intentional? I'm starting to think the publishers are trying to justify harsher copyright laws by creating the appearance of more pervasive infringement. There have been four major titles that have been leaked in the past two weeks. What the hell is going on? I…
Noel: How the hell can you work like that?! Vig: I'd just use this image and place it in a clear corner and blend the background. The filter really makes it look sucky like that... don't bother scaling it up, I'd say. I've still got Tully's Glambot on the left monitor. Got a photo on the right monitor, but I'd probably…
Only the tiniest of updates today. My apologies, I was away for a bit. I decided to take the concrete support into ZBrush, bang it up a bit and project it onto the low this morning. Here's the result: High Low Still some work needs to be done on fixing the normal, obvious problem areas are easy to point. Just having a hell…
Is this for a nice render, or for an ingame effect? If its for a render, you could duplicate the hand and turn the duplicate into a light emitter (there are tutorials in the max help to do this) Hell, if it's for a render you could just post process it in photoshop. For in game you might already have problems getting that…
So one of my suitemates walked in on me playing Odin Sphere the other day. went somethin like this: Bro: "what the hell are you playing" Me: "Odin Sphere" Bro: "how do you spell that G - A - Y?!" Me: "Yo it's got awesome art direction and is well done" Bro: "Kill the queen of the forest fairies??!!? wtf?!?!" Me: "YEP" Bro:…
thankfully i never had to do one of those... just wondering, are you at least allowed to put a rejected art test into your portfolio afterwards? not to sound overly materialistic, but if it's a huge test - is there a possibility to talk about the job conditions (money!! and the rest, of course) before wasting weeks of your…
I agree that some more polish is warranted, but unfortunately I don't have any time left to do all that. my school assignments are piling up and frankly the week i spent doing this set those assignments back quite a bit. the important thing though is that I learned a hell of a lot about environment art while working on…
I got it for £12 on Steam about 4 months ago, but thanks for the heads up :) TBH I only bought it to look at the art anyway, I haven't played any UT game properly since UT2k3. Played a hell of a lot of UT99 back in the day, but the recent instalments just seem to lack the fun of the old ones, I dunno if that's just me…
Pogo, hells yea man. Still getting the hang of what will show up in normal maps and what won't, what's best to model in etc. Will keep it in mind for the next few assets. Oniram, there will be a processor/grinder on top of this thing but you're right about the sharpness of the chipping, definitely needs to be stepped up.…
Publishers set the prices though, not valve, even though valve might suggest or insist smaller prices on things. Retailers wont stock a certain game if they knew a publisher was undercutting them on steam, and retail is still in a sense needed. Steam sales still beat the hell out of anything, even if prices normally are…
