[ QUOTE ] 1.It's really not that bad at all. Developers know that no one can run BF2 on a P2 slot processor. X86 procs, card-specific shaders, sound cards... I can't think of anything else thats specialized? [/ QUOTE ] In my local computer store there are 14 different motherboards for the AMD AthlonXP/Duron/Semperon…
I'm new to the site and have been just following the current challenge the past week or so. Everyone put forth some really awesome work and I have been learning a ton just following others progress and the subsequent discussion. This seems like a great community that I would love to be a part of! I'm a newer and less…
I'm doing the opposite. I've been drawing perspective environments since I was like 6 or 7, but only over the last 10 months or so have I been trying organic stuff such as figures. You're just going to have to practice doing perspective. A perfect way of training is blocking out a nice scene in max or maya and sketching…
Modo fanboyism is getting very strong in this Forum, if i were younger it would start to annoy me... Mayas UV Tools were improved in the last versions, and have been extremely powerful and mature for a long time. There is a lack of some convenient buttons in the UV editor for certain simple functions, like moving UVs about…
Ok so I think I may have missed something out in my blog that I have updated or changed so I will briefly go over what I have done. I find these bullet points are a great way to get across my progress: * Added specular and normal maps to my landscape material * Added dynamic clouds * Added exponential fog * Improved the…
@Mistry10 - Thank you for the suggestions! After reading your reply I tried some very quick color tests (and also brightened up the room overall): Both renders use an orange point light located at the ceiling, #1 has a less saturated orange though. Both have a spotlight aimed at the throne, #1 being closer to a green, #2…
been cool to follow your various updates, nice to see you continually trying to improve it. For me... The diffuse work is a little too "generated looking", a lot of the edges of the metal panels have heavy scratching or wear. Think about how the panels are used,are object/people are likely to interact with them? (bump…
"Cinematic" games to me are just kind of another sub-genre that adds to the mixing pool of types of games. I do not have a problem with them. "Cinematic" was never defined by Jim Sterling or yourself, so what is a "cinematic" game? Something that has 30 fps, letter boxing, and lens flares? A game that has minimal game play…
I love games. I have to play some kind of games a little every few days just for fun. Or I feel fidgety. And bored. But I no longer can do hours of dedicated gaming now that I'm trying to get skillful at art. I was just worried that I'm not up to date with the products it'll cost me. But even now when I see a beautiful…
Yeah it's really a catch 22 situation; The guy regularly chats with major business both marketing, gaming ect. He's linked in everywhere in Liverpool. He said that he is going into a game dev cycle when he get's backing- talks are still going on. He doesn't have the man power so he'll have to hire a few people and possible…
