Re: Yes! another job phone interview thread!
Phone interviews are seldom the same. Sometimes they are conference calls with key members of the team all present bombarding you with questions. They're always frustrating. Not because of the people or the situation, but because you cant always hear everyone good. Dont be afraid to tell them if you cant hear them. Some… -
Re: What made you want to work on games?
When I was four years old, my mother gave me her Nintendo entertainment system. That is how my quest first began, through the years of playing Super Mario and other various side-scrolling platformers I had grown such a love for video games. Through the years not a time has gone by where I did not have some sort of game… -
Re: [UE4] Physically Based 3D Art: 2016
I'll give my 2c on this topic and try to stay constructive. The first thing I noticed on most of your objects was material definition was lacking. Even stylized stuff looks like the materials they're made of. One of the biggest ones that i see in yours was your wood material. Squiggly lines on a brown background doesn't… -
Re: Treena Cavewoman & Sabre Toothed Tiger
thats quality! I really like it. The face reminds me of a person I work with. The hair looks great! Crits: - Spec maps seem off, they are kind of shinny. On Treena's flesh it is ok because she could be in a hot humid place and kind of sweaty. But the same spec on the cloth parts is making her look like she's made out of… -
Re: first texture project - rifle
Ah yes, the dreaded UV unwrapping. I'm still quite slow with it, but here are my suggestions. It looks like you're a fellow Maya user. Figure out where you want your seams to be on the model. Seams occur where two clusters of your UVs come together. Unless you have a perfectly tiling texture and/or carefully plan your… -
Re: Attitudes about games
i'm with 'who cares'. It's all a matter of taste, personally i prefer reading a good novel over playing whatever awesome game. Better graphics equal bigger hollywood explosions and the stories and gameplay in games still can't hold a candle against a good old book. One day it might, but i suspect it will go down the path… -
Re: the next big thing!
New one is pretty cool! I definitely like the sound and feeling of quality to the production in general, but I can't help feeling the song is fairly generic in this style unfortunately There's nothing that really makes it stand out from the crowd, as it were, which I think is what you have to do to make a name for yourself… -
Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Game Video Review by ZeitgeistReview
Nice work, I hope you keep it up, i skipped 30 seconds in or so, maybe you can make that at the most 10 with a faster intro. The game is much cooler than the movie, I thought I would see a badass Logan in the movies but atleast the game seems to have nailed that. The review is still to long, however it was with a lot of… -
Re: overseas labour - The Big Threat?
We've done a lot of oursourcing at 8monkey, virtually all of it being hero assets like characters, weapon models and concepts for example. We've used some very tallented, established pros for our work too. We do this for a number of reasons, it is really hard to find tallented people that are willing to work in iowa, and… -
