Re: Iphone Biplane racing game -art test
Thank you all so much for the feedback. Since the most recent system cycle when I started doing 3d was GC/PS2/Xbox I never was really forced to work below that. Loud and clear about the texture size >.< Also chalk another one up to not surfing over enough reference for an object I know only shit about. Major fixes - went… -
Re: Boring! The repetiveness of modern games
http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7597 , Google would have told you the same The thing with the GC and the N64 is that while they might seem like a failure to a gamer (lowest sales numbers, fewer games) they are a huge success from a business standpoint. Nintendo is a publisher as well, after all so what they don't… -
Re: first digital painting/concept
The one thing I notice most about people first starting out is their timid itty bitty low opacity brush strokes. I think it's cute, no really ;) Think of painting just like making a level. Your painting pipeline should be something like: block out, refine, details, and polish. The same rules that go into the 3d process, go… -
Re: Gaming granny
i'd love it if my nan, who's now 85 and suddenly, sadly, more-or-less housebound got into games. All she does is watch endless detective DVDs anyway, an involving game with a decent plot would be much more stimulating i'm sure. Just have to make sure it doesn't rely on the reflexes too much, so most action games are out of… -
Composing RTT elements?
Hello, I'm trying to compose "render to texture" elements back to a Complete Map. I want to achieve identical blending in Photoshop. I created a test scene: sphere , plane , free photometric light, draft FG settings and all materials are A&D, no specular. I'm test baking only the "sphere". Here are the output images:… -
Re: Battlestar Galactica
Love that show! To your point, I get very invested in shows and movies I watch too. One thing I keep in mind with those stories/shows/movies is that the 'finale' may mean "its over," but it also means the story you invested so much time in, is now considered complete by the authors. Look at it as a sigh of relief, closure,… -
Re: [3Ds Max] When's best to create morph targets for facial movement?
Yep you can do morph targets after you skin, just make sure the morpher modifier is under the skin modifier, that's the beauty of max you can apply modifiers out of order and drag on modifier under the others if you need to. It's been a while since i used morph targets. But i think you can do it after the skinning. As long… -
Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
Well; I felt the need to chime in here as well. Unlike most here, I have a full-time job as a Corrections Officer (fancy way to say Prison Guard); as well as a Family to look after. I've been tinkering off and on with Game Art for the better part of 7 years or so; with very little results. I've had large breaks in actual… -
Re: PAX Prime 2012 Badges lost
Thats completely fucking ridiculous - it is THIER fault for offering an un-trackable service for an expensive item. Down right incompetent. USPS Priorty flat rate envelope is like $5, why they were sending first class w/o delivery confirmation(the only service I can think of that doesn't offer tracking) is beyond me.… -
Re: [UDK] Fantasy, Skyrim inspired environment
@Sebeuroc - Thanks. Yeah. When I started this map I was thinking way bigger in scope so I had those huge rock formations. As I started to build it, it became overwhelming so I decided to focus on the FG area with the statue and the BG with the temple. I will try to find a place for those large rock cliffs. @nufftalon -…
