So. What to say.... Well, for starters, half of my time has been devoted to making it so that the frame rate stays at 24 fps. The big culprit was the grass clumps. I apparently overestimated what the unreal engine can handle as far as poly counts go. So, I spent a lot of time reducing the polys on all the models, only to…
My two cents: I am an Arizona native and have lived in the southwest all my life. I have seen both the good and the bad related to illegal immigration so I'll state my view on both. The Good: There's no doubt the cheap labor pool has it's benefits. I have seen it first hand when it comes to the jobs most Americans arent…
stolen from another forum [ QUOTE ] First off I wanted to post what REALLY is going on in this city. Please don't get this thread locked people. The news stations are only showing a minuscule of reality. This post may offend some people but I will post what I saw, like it or not it is REALITY. . . . . . Well last night I…
Greetings Polycount, I've just started getting my Masters Degree in computer games design and for the first project I've been given, I have to build an environment from a piece of concept art from either Halo or World of Warcraft. I haven't attempted an environment piece in two years and last time I tried, it went…
So it's not just about being able to lift yourself up over the requirements bar, you need to bring something that other people aren't and you need to add to their overall skill set, not just plug into it and becoming a smooth unremarkable part of the wall.

Hey man, I like what you've got, so don't let the critique I'm about to give to you get in the road of that. You've got a good energy in your piece thus far, so throughout all your changes, try and keep that. So I'm gonna split the critique into two parts - body motion and lip sync. Body motion: - On the third (I think…
Here are my tips to getting into the game industry in no particular order. 1. Do your research. Keep up to date on the latest technology and practices. What companies are hiring, the projects that are in the works and the movers and shakers of the industry. 2. Network with everyone, you never know who can help you out.…
I am working on a narrative about Taliyah and Ekko's first meeting within Zaun. EDIT: Alright, I've got the first draft of the story finished! Right now it's a bit over 1000 words, so while editing it I've got to trim it down a bit. There's quite a bit of flavor text I may unfortunately have to cut. :'( In any case, tell…
Hi :) So I went in to the latest challenge we had here at Polycount thinking I would actually finish it. My fiance was away for a few days, I didn't have to work over the weekend, no one was visiting us from out of town, it was perfect.... Long story short, I got caught up in playing videogames and taking some "me time"…
Sorry I am not sure what I am doing wrong in my statements? I apologize. But as far as I know we have the same internet with the same historical facts. In 2001 when that demo was released It was demo-ed on the 2nd generation gpu chips released that year. With such revolutionary pixel shader work I can't see how they didn't…
