What i have seen / heared so far is more of FC 3 with a new bad guy, more epic tech and coop. Mind you that's not a bad thing since i personally really enjoyed FC3 despite it beeing way too easy. But the story looks really good and what i can grasp from the GiantBomb let's play, the Animations for Interactions are top…
Im sure it would be the best looking game ever. Whether or not it would actually be fun is a different story : p But seriously though. To me, the turning point for what developers would create in terms of what is fun vs what is beautiful/technically sound/boring is the comparison of ut99 vs q3. I remember getting q3…
Hey thanks for the info. Looks like Epic is trying to make their engine a comprehensive CG/VFX/game engine toolkit, very ambitious. VR editor looks neat too, I can see that becoming more commonplace in level design. Your bit on houdini for level design interests me though, I do have Houdini Apprentice, but I've only used…
Hey man, if you are still fighting this issue (even after using the correct Y orientation) there is a nice way to help fixing this. The specular input can also be used for microshadowing. Actually Epic even had plans to rename the slot to cavity^^ So what you can do is the following: -bake a cavity map with very high…
They will NEVER, EVER follow Pixologic's strategy. NEVER. Reason? They'll probably say that they wouldn't profit from it or some such BS. What they need to do is knock 2000$ OFF the price tag of a single seat license, because as it stands, it's completely unreasonable. I've got Zbrush and i'm not going back to Mudbox,…
Honestly - Do not use wings or Milkshape If I recall they are no longer supported by their developers anymore. Blender - Here is why I recommend it - 100% FREE under the GPL. Open Source - You can get the source code and extend it yourself. Lots of knowledge able community members to help you out. :) Gaining Industry…
Hi z0ltan First, about your work: The first environment in your page is much to dark overall as far as the lighting goes. Also, unless it's mostly your work, I'd just scrap it. We want to see your art, and not epics. Snow sled is pretty rad. I'd personally like to see a little more color and saturation in the diffuse, but…
@darkmanx_429 : First off, Semper Fi. I can read your frustration pretty easily in that first post. Some immediate thoughts are, don't become fixated on the Game or Entertainment industry as they are volatile. As you already know, the game companies run larger crews while in development, but as soon as the project is ready…
hi guys, here is the update from last week. We love RPG. We love skyrim. We..got a serious case of Skyrimtitis. Doctor says is curable but takes some time (approx 100 hours) to heal. So, here's our personal tribute to the Skyrim world: epic helmet with horns! Even if the helmet looks great in game we cannot use it…
Tom, It's not about catering to specific imaginative careers, again not art for art sakes (so to speak)... it's about stimulating peoples imaginations so they can solve problems - that's what Barker was getting at. Einstein himself said "Imagination is more important the knowledge". He was on to something don't you…
