Re: the tools of the texture/shader artist trade
Ya some engines you got premade shaders with parameters for users to edit exposed, some you do all in hlsl code, than there are node based editors. udk's is node based and simple to use, since it takes care of the lighting and specular calculations for you, so you don't need to implement your own lighting model. Also you… -

Re: Neverwinter Nights 2
What the fuck is going on here? Knock off all that post-editing bullshit and say what you think. If any artist reads this thread and feels he's being dragged through the mud, here's a solution - get better. Seriously, I have no patience for this self-censorship crap. Any artist who is *getting paid* to make artwork had… -
Re: Help me get Black Mesa on Steam!

Re: Crap artist can't get job, whines about it

And it is true that you need to have instructors that know what they are talking about, but really it is up to the student to take his career seriously, as I have put in more time in a few careers than those who's career… -
Re: Olympic Esports to become standalone event.
Tell her I said you'll definitely make it - I'm an expert (probably) more seriously.. Bolting a wheel to your desk and using a VR headset is brilliant and doesn't require a divorce - it's not as good as the simulator at the mercedes f1 factory but it will make you motion sick if you spend hours drifting in assetto corsa… -
Re: The Honest Feedback Thread
Shotgun: I'll see what I can do, man! I've never made a video tutorial before, I am a bit terrified of trying. Pior: I'm seriously flattered! Thanks, man! For how I get smooth lines, I'm digging for an explanation where I don't have one. It's hard for me to articulate how I do something when I've never thought about it… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Amotaf - Portfolio update
people should be displaying the vertex count of an object anyway... and showing a wire-frame. Triangle count, quad count... who cares. It's the vert count that matters. But most people are going to want to see "tri-count" because most people are from the days of game dev where everything had to be triangulated. But if your… -
Re: Adobe Photoshop feedback
I'm on CS3 so if some of these have been fixed or addressed feel free to ignore em, we'll get around to upgrading at some point. 1) Allow any keyboard shortcut to be written to any command. Basically remove the retarded restrictions that have been hold back artists since day one... I would love to replace ctrl with alt.…
