Re: Dealing with canned games
when you work full time it's hard to bother making anything that won't make you money. getting attached to an entirely money-driven commercial project is silly, paycheck is the only thing that matters at the end of the day. i think the real travesty with canceled games is the inability to build a portfolio from it so you… -
Re: Questions oh questions...
Why is it too late? Are you crippled with arthritis? Are you unable to move a pencil? :P Anywho, I really recommend "The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards". I haven't hugely got into drawing myself yet, but the start of this book really helped alleviate the (fairly common) belief that drawing is… -
Re: Any Engineering Background Boddies ?
I'm a fitter and turner, and a welder. I have also worked in transport (both as driver and in maintenance). I also dabble in alternative fuel research, auto modifications, gunsmithing and chemical engineering. Looking to play with a bit of 3D modelling for a bit of a change (especially since I have been unable to work for… -
Re: Government bailouts and the Auto Industry?
I'd take an electric car against any hyrdo or blown engine any day :P Honestly, the EV1 is massively restricted for traction control. GM had video of an EV1 against a 'vette, but the EV1 got a performance profile so the traction control was limited. The EV1 blew away the 'vette until they got to their upper speeds. My boss… -
Re: Markus Persson (aka Notch) Ive never felt more isolated: The man who sold Minecr
I mean are we really framing this as "it's a real shame this guy has depression, regardless of whether he's rich or not" because I can think of many people I personally know who have serious issues with depression and things like bipolar disorder, who are far worse off than this guy is. I mean, yeah it sucks and I have… -
Re: Crowd Funding, i.e. My Woes With it
This is really interesting what you're going through Odium. Please don't get discouraged. I know a LOT of people who are in the same boat as you, and I've linked them this thread. But as an aside, I happen to be acquainted with the former head of the IGDA Jason Dela Rocca, and he's started something very interesting. The… -
Re: Higgs Boson Found
I'm kinda rolling my eyes at the camp that are getting excited over this. No one has been able to quantify this for me. Most are completely unable to even put it in laymans terms, never mind tell me what possible practical applications this could have. I've got the whole 'Dude you have no imagination' and 'Hoverboards!'… -
Re: [Environment] Blade Runner - Unreal Engine 4 - Deckard Apartment
There would be two reasons you're not getting a lot of critiques. (from my point of view) #1 Your scene looks great, but from a comparison point of view, Not many people can give critique on the level you are now because It's very hard to eyeball critiques from Deckard's apartment on this level of detail. #2 Since it is a… -
Re: Which project would help my career the most?
I'd say that it's because you don't want to cast any doubt on your own ability. To me if you purchase ready made assets that means that you're either unable to make them yourself or just too lazy to do it. Neither of these qualities are something anyone wants to project into the work that they'll show to potential… -
Re: [WIP] Halo Reach - Heavy Machine Gun
I definitely agree it's an art thing to get it popped, it seems to be what I'm struggling with the most.. This is very useful feedback, many thanks! I made lots of improvements since the last post, but somehow I'm unable to be satisfied. Like the textures aren't living up to the potential of the model. I tried using a…
