Re: So the new iPad..
/begin fanboy rant For me, the iPad is, and always has been a device for content consumption not content creation. (EDIT: I actually do use it for making music a lot, so technically I lied here). The iPad to me is a device to use when I want to get away from work. I want it to display all of my content, be that video,… -
Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
Hey, So, like most game artists out there at the minute I've been looking into the whole PBR thing and Unreal4. There seem to be 2 different methods I've seen so far and I'm wondering which is the best to use and when. Firstly, I've seen objects with texture sheets laid out pretty much as they have been for donkeys years.… -
Re: Prospects of Texture Artists?
It really depends on the studio you work for. Most have the environment artist do both texturing and modeling but there are studios that just an environment artist who models and a texture artist who textures that shit. Here at Naughty Dog thats what we do. Environment artist model everything and assembles the scene and… -
Re: Rel'Kah, GoW character style.
Looking really good but you made some mistakes with color there Its a little complicated, but you put this cold blue in, which is kinda fine , but it makes it all a bit too much if you take the red lights in on the character alone. The character itself is alright in that regard tho, but the weapon is really off. You cannot… -
Re: Atari - A moment of silence, please.
Yep, this... Infogrames bought GT Interactive (oddworld, Unreal, Duke Nuke'em, Quake, Driver, Blood, Doom2, Total Annihilation...) and a bunch of studios and proceeded to run them into the ground then it bought Atari, killed it and assumed its identity. They also made about every boneheaded move you can make in the… -
Re: Landscape thread
Ok got an answer on epics forum and this seems to be the way to go: Xenobite says: - terrain is working as colision on device - it is invisible but collision is still there definitely not the best solution to use for your level collisions what you should is - make terrain (ignore materials and just play with height) -… -
Re: The overuse of Red in Team based games.
I'm probably wrong but I think the colors are chosen more because of the fact that they provide clear distinctions between who is a teammate and who is an enemy, and they are colors people can recognize immediately. Many games frequently highlight enemies in red simply because it is an easy way to tell the play "This guy… -
Re: The Sedentary Life Of A Dev: Staying healthy in the workplace?
Great thread awesome to read all the goals. Just wanted to add when your getting bored with the routine of exercising (which you will, if you don't plan ahead.) I figured out a cool little system in adventures of becoming healthier and stronger make 3 exercising routines and make each new cycle harder and set a final… -
Re: Cintiq, 27QHD, or 22HD
I have the 27HD at work. Some of the other artists here have the 22HD. I'd only recommend the 27HD if you have a lot of free desk space. Its bloody huge and took me a few weeks to organise a desk setup that works for me. I definitely recommend getting an ergotron with a double extended arm (You'll also need to buy a… -
Re: Characters Textures: Next Gen samples and sizes?
Sounds like you're making too much work for yourself. Stick to just using Diffuse, Specular, Normal (maybe Heightmap too, which can often be multiplied on top of the normal by the engine) and Glow (if you have any parts that need to glow). Light map is not needed. Ambient occlusion should be baked into the diffuse and…
