That is of course assuming that the PS3 is technologically inferior to the 360. Which I believe it isn't. There are many lazy game ports to the PS3, true. I find that games like MGS4 designed with the PS3 in mind are easily as graphically sophisticated as any 360 offering. The major problem seems to arise when companies…
Thanks for the tips! Respawnrt, is the raising the bar book worth the price of admission? (I'm a huge HL fan, I can't believe I don't already have it) Di$array, I really appreciate it man! You're right, I'm a little scattered worrying about the HEV before I've even got the head sculpted and retopo'd. I really like your…
Woah, I didn't check this... @sprunghunt: The rig is incredibly basic, which is why it probably isn't working that well. It's just a simple bone system I thought would work, and the feathers are History Independent IK Solvers. I'll post screenshots! @Visceral: I believe that way would probably be better. I 'll try that…
AFAIK, in the US if you are in public, you don't have to ask permission to take photos of people. If they are in a public place, you're allowed to take photos. I believe you only have to worry if you're using the photos for some kind of advertisement. I've seen court cases where people tried to sue for getting their…
Well, I'm looking forwards to what the community can do with the recently released editor for Thief 3 . One of the coders (I believe) who helped get the editor released mentioned how sucky the xbox was and how that essentially screwed up the gamedesign by having to break the levels into small chunks. Now the modders can…
I believe you meant . Saw this at the midnight last night. Did not disappoint, it was all I wanted it to be. I look forward to a potential Avengers 2, as well as possible sequels for the leading characters.. I would love to see a Captain America 2. Supposedly there are some avengers deleted scenes that show more of Cap…
Cool stuff :D Snafubar pretty much nailed everything except I would add - I think you could try to make some hand painted height maps to soften the transition between the tileables. I believe there are still parameters in UE4 that will restrict specific textures based on terrain incline/elevation. You may want to set those…
Oooh.... believe me. If I could convince someone to take the project on on the basis of taking a cut of profit and not pay someone in advance (with money I don't have) I'd do it in a heartbeat. I shouldn't quite say it like that... there's a stubborn child, dreaming somewhere inside me that wants to achieve this alone...…
At Bungie you could use Max or Maya. I believe the only people to use Maya were the character artists and animators. For the most part environment artists and prop artists used Max. At Naughty Dog we are forced to use Maya only due to all the tools being integrated with it and how big animation is here. Also they wouldn't…
The MET for a variety of art through the ages...up to I believe the Renaissance. The Frick collection has more renaissance/enlightenment time-period work, and if you're into modern art you can check out the MoMA, they're all pretty-much in and around NYC. And if you come to LI, you can probably go see where Acclaim used to…
