There is much more advanced variant of "roll" or 3d coat "stripes" Ancient ,90th era Creative House Expression had and its castrated heir Microsoft Design 4 still has so called Skeletal brushes . They are vector based so a stroke can be edited any time . Difference with the Roll is that those brushes could have not only…
I love seeing all the pencils work, I often feel like concept artists (myself included 100%) lose sight of the importance to traditional media to the efficiency of photoshop. Looking at the comments you make on your own work: we're always our own worst critic, but I think you're overly hard on yourself. Your work is…
I really hate this to be honest and it annoys me when developers confuse difficulty with tedium. RPGs where the save points are spaced really far apart are prime offenders of this, losing time doesn't increase the difficulty it just increases the frustration and tension of the game. The game isn't any more challenging,…
because western games are trying to be movies in every possible way (and failing miserably). big orchestral scores! licensed pop music! ~~~we gotta be more epic and BaddddAsss~~~ the game industry is obsessed with the term, "epic". because back in the day, sound chips had limited capabilities and you needed to rely on more…
I agree with a lot of people in here; in that you shouldn't worry what others are doing. However, from experience, when you've graduated and you get your loan bill through for thousands of pounds/dollars, you want to be able to know that you got your moneys worth. If their behaviour directly effects that, then you have…
"I met tons of gamers at Devry, we'd sit and talk about games for ours" My old Creative Director had a loaded question he asked in every interview: "Which would you say you are first, an artist interested in making games, or a gamer who wants to do what you've always loved." Artist = +1 Gamer = -100 He considered most…
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the e-mails so far. I'd like to clarify a few things: 1) Yes, this is a paying gig! 2) Our time schedule is for the next two months, June and July. Over that period we're looking to design and implement somewhere between 50 - 100 creatures/objects with a handful of backgrounds. 3) We'd prefer a…
Hmm I played both the normal and the expansionpack till the end on Linux. No problems with Doom3 at all. Try looking in one of the many Linuxmessageboards (exspecially those specific for Suse) for help. What soundcard do you have? I think there are problems with non Creative soundcards that cause it to crash during…
People bitch just as much if companies don't make enough changes and just poop out a cookie-cutter sequel. Short answer is, they've already made that game. Play the first one again if you want the same experiences. As creative type people, they want to keep growing and expanding on the ideas presented in the first. If they…
I can understand that. It's a great model from a creative standpoint. And the technique is amazing. These new renders look great. I just had to point out what is obvious since no one else had yet. To someone who spends time riding motorcycles, all the flaws are very apparent. To anyone else, it's very shiny. If you were to…
