Re: Online colleges worth it?
I wouldn't really do an undergrad degree online. There's soooo much you can get out of human interaction, especialyly during critiques and discussion, from a brick and mortar college. The best things I got from studying were those things that are hard to emulate online - like critiques, class discussion, life drawing, the… -
Re: Next generation to arrive in 2012
There is another artistic forum whose members are primarily interested in creating "real time rendered immersive environments" and the end result of that experience is not a game? I don't think interactivity on the GPU has evolved past games yet. But "when" it does it will be born here. As far as real time talent is… -
Re: Quick modeling question about intersecting and airtight meshes.
It all depends really to me: how is the asset used? How does the player interact with it? How far away from the player is it? Does it animate? I see no problem with either technique, there are pros and cons to both. Personally I prefer to model my some stuff with method A, and other stuff with method b, but really it all… -
Re: Starcraft MercHaven WIP (Status: Planing)
I love that you are showing your workflow. I am a recent grad having a difficult time finding a way to work through a project using a workflow similar to the game industry. As for your vert count. I don't think 15k is bad. Things that I always consider when making assets for a game is how important is this object to the… -
Re: Border Fill - modeler's dream come true
Yeah, well, I have like.. huge following :D Seriously though, I first set it up to back creating maxscript tutorials (you can see WIP here) and found geogebra in the process that has a license conflicting with for-profit use and if I have to choose, I prefer releasing it for free and without backing, with nicer and… -
Re: Custom Vehicle into UDK
There's a huge step between getting a rigged and animated skeletal mesh in Unreal and actually having a driveable vehicle. Getting a SK mesh in there is not very hard, but the interaction and gameplay requires unrealscript coding. You could opt for replacing/extending one of the existing vehicles, but really, it doesn't… -
Re: 10 Year Old Kid Wont Pledge to the US
Churches in the US can deny anything they want. They can refuse to marry straight witches, they can refuse to marry interacial couples, etc. Even if tomorrow the supreme court ruled that all gays can marry in any state, churches could still refuse to marry gay couples. Conversely, right now there are several denominations… -
Re: Dota 2 Art Guide - Baking a Gradient Mask
Kodde, I tried it out and worked awesome. I got a few gradient mismatches but I think that might be to fucked up vertex normals though will confirm today. I havent taken a look at the code, but it didnt seem to prompt what texture size I wanted. Maybe something to implement later? Something I've been toying around with… -
Re: WXS-07 'Depopulator'
It was important to sculpt the head with the finished helmet/headgear pieces in place as it had to look like the flesh was being compressed . When sculpting organics I have a few matcaps that I switch between, and I will always use the Basic material as it reacts to Zbrush's interactive light. I can't stress how important… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | R&D
The image below has ambient light from IBL affecting fog colour, this is going to be a scalar parameter so people can decide whether they want it or not, and to what degree it's affected. I'm working on direct light interaction with fog right now actually. The end goal is for the fog to react in a physically accurate way…
