If you are aiming for real cool scifi look, you should add a lot more details on your mesh ! http://videogame-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VideoGameArt_ScifiGun_Ely02_TorFrick.jpg http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/17/1280x960_4749_Gun_3d_sci_fi_gun_weapon_picture_image_digital_art.jpg…
What do you mean by 'can you' ? You mean professionally? In videogames? There were dedicated texture artists at the last big company I was at sure. But I wouldn't want to be them come the decision making on who to axe in the next big layoff. Film splits up the disciplines of modeling and texturing far more than games.…
I guess If spirit walking is a problem then WoW is out of the question. Wait, doesn't every videogame ever made feature resurrection?! The problem with taking a stand against themes that trouble you in this media, is where the heck to draw the line. It all starts to get a bit silly. Especially silly given that the core…
Hehe yeah I noticed that nobody is more opinionated than gamers. Having recently finished a stint at Full Sail, I was assaulted everyday with people comparing video cards, and laughing at people for using Intel chips and not AMDs. Then of course there's the Xbox gamers vs. the PS2 gamers, and people just being to damn…
If you have an undergrad degree and are looking at Orlando, check out FIEA. I just graduated this past December, the princeton review just ranked it as the number 2 game design program in North America only behind USC. It isn't easy to get into, it's a tough 16 months and it's videogames and not CG. I have heard decent…
IMO Uncharted 2 was a videogame with very little game. Beautiful, but not a game. (To me). GOTY for me likely goes to Assassin's Creed 2. It's refreshing when a sequel comes out that totally trumps its original incarnation because the developers listened to their audience. Runner up would have to be Shadow Complex. I say…
No, I actually agree with you. I was making the point that the fact that they could have made the level from the comfortable distance of LA, without even having to visit the cathedral could mean that there was even *less* incentive to seek permission. I think you're right. I'm confident that as far as the law goes, Sony…
Is there any doubt? Not in my mind. Lieberman is a menace, and has been since the 90's when he tried to wrangle government control of the videogames industry. Gore? Remember the PMRC and those wonderful parental advisory stickers? These two are as solid anti freedom as they come. And to the international polycounters:…
That barrel is waaaaaaay to highpoly. Even the LOD1 is. You have so many loops doing nothing for the silhouette at all, you got bevels on pretty much everything. You can, no doubt get this down to 500 tris without any big difference. Just remember what you normalmap is for. [Edit] Just looked through your thread and…
