Re: E3 2012 - General Chat
I just read this article. I agree with a lot of the things it talks about. So i thought i would share it. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/172088/From_the_Editor_E3_2012__The_E3_of_Disillusion.php [At this week's E3, publishers in the so-called "triple-A" video game industry made perfectly clear -- more than ever before --… -
Re: Maintaining the PBR workflow
The reason charts of roughness values vary is that you're defining an average roughness value for a pixel and that value will depend how large an area of a surface the pixel defines. Eg. Sandpaper is quite shiny if you look very closely but if you step a few paces back it looks much rougher cos the lumpy surface bounces… -
Re: The future of game development
I dont really think that it's going downhill or getting useless. As mentioned, its at a transition moment. Ever since this mobile technology was released (smart phones, tablets), there has been a huge split in the market between consoles and mobile which just used to be all consoles. Eventually, I think that the large… -
Re: SCI-FI Stuff and Crates for an upcoming Indie Game
Nice work and clean bake, but I have to agree to the others, it's far to detailed. For details I always try to think about "what are needed parts, who uses is and what for?" Details are always based on tech, use and ergonomic. Example: There are concept guns which are covered with details, small parts and extensions. But… -
Re: Benefit of using game engines for animated films?
For short films or series I think engines or machinima style of filmmaking is great, like for episodic series where heavy re-use of background or sets is not a big deal (e.g. Big Bang Theory). For non-interactive feature length film I think it's still cost effective and more efficient to do it with the usual cg tools… -
Re: removed
Good start! A few things I notice are that you're jumping to some details that you should probably hold out on until you get the base forms completely done. For example the scars should be added later on once your primaries and secondary forms are finished. Right now it seems the character's lower jaw is in need of a… -
Re: SUITE 2.0 status update!
NDH - we feel that if a customer is upset with us that they have a legitimate reason for it. We've been changing the way the company functions as a result, with a better emphasis on interacting with the community. That's the major reason I'm here! If any of you ever need to chat about Quixel or its products, I'm your point… -
Re: Following Along - Summer Character Workshop - Female Knight
@PyrZern Looks like some pretty solid modelling work to me. I love the concept, but I really like stylized figures so there ya go. I think taking the feel of a character and pushing it is a great challenge and exercise. I think the comment on the thickness of the armor is a good one. The only crit I would have is the… -
Re: making a reflective roadsign using Substance Designer/Painter and Marmoset...
Iridescence is a general term for when the color of a surface's specular reflection appears to change with viewing angle. How it manifests physically can vary. Through thin-film interference it happens with essentially no internal bouncing, such as on bubbles and metals like bismuth which produce a thin oxide layer when… -
Re: Annoying Screen Flickering in Maya 2013
Yup, Maya only. I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit w/SP 1, for what it's worth. I searched around before posting here and either found very similar threads that never got answered, or things that were similar but didn't help me. For example, a common thing was to disable Threaded Optimization on the graphics card by going…
