O don't know how new this is, but I recently discovered that autodesk is offering various packages as rental license. http://www.autodesk.de/buy/rental-plans I found this very interesting as I'm already happy with the changes that adobe did for theier creative suit and photoshop. Although I have to say: The pricing is…
hey guys, posting this up because I think I'm stuck or there's no more optimization to make on it, but wanted some input. Currently the outside and inside faces of the wheels are not using square opacity, as we don't know if mobile devices will be able to draw that much overlapping opacity yet... we're supposed to be doing…
Guess I'm going to try my best at this. As hand painted isn't my forte, at all, I'll be working my ass off on that aspect :D I'm not very good with drawing/concepting, I started to work on the turret piece already, still planning the inhibitor and the creep den.…
This well respected Games Developer is working on an eagerly anticipated PS3 game. They are looking for several artists to work in the environment team. There are a number of roles in which the successful candidate may specialise, ranging from working closely with design in level development to environmental modelling or…

Normal maps will never look as crisp as they look with dynamic lighting only though :( @Brandoom: Agreed. I haven't looked into a…
This is why you're having trouble. In the 1st image, EQ is explaining that a highpoly model works better for normalmapping when it has more slope for its bevels. The two cylinders at the left/front have very vertical bevels, so they bake poorly. Your barrel highpoly suffers because of this. This post goes into more detail…
Thank u very much guys :) Spug: Actually i just sent my mail to Splashdamage so nothing yet, but my classmate got a response in like 2 days, hope i will get one too. yeah i was thinking about changing that, but you know i will fill them so fast anyway :P haha or not. Well wish i could just stop time and do portfolio work…
I have to agree with the Smokers onegrinding my gears. One company I worked over the smoking area, and just for the hell of it I timed how long they stood outside bullshitting and wasting time. For the week I was paying attention they took approx 6 hrs out of the week, that was 3 of them who formed like girls going to the…
