Questioning my LOD workflow
So when doing a model I always have the # 1 rule in mind with LODs, which is divide in half. Each level is half of the previous. And lately I've been questioning my workflow because optimization is important to me, and the way I see it there are two ways of looking at this. A ) For the highest poly, just leave all those… -
Re: Lurking Animators Look here! - WIP exercise
Nothing wrong with going with a surge of inspiration!! I like the direction you're going with this, but I think there are still some kinks to work out. It's a bit hard to crit, cause it's not on screen for very long and it's kinda small. However, I think what it needs is less up and down movement in the body, and more… -
Re: Car Crash VFX Project
It's been since college since I've done any compositing/greenscreening but I'll see if I can help. The key on the green screen pull has a really hard edge, try to feather/soften the roto on that edge to get a more believable composite. (maybe add a small amount of motion blur to her as well) The lighting is also a little… -
Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test - Yes, another one!
I made a base for the house, but now I want to make it more of a diorama. I had some ideas while working on and now that the test is over, I'm going to take it further. The focus for it will be trying to reuse the texture I already made to create new assets. The new direction of environment art is definitely going modular.… -
Re: HR / Higher Ups - Is talking about salary online frowned on?
lots of countries don't even have such surveys or any data about game dev salaries so talking to devs seems the only way to get some idea of what how much you could be making. after my last job interview i briefly talked to 2 devs smoking outside of the studio. one of them seemed curious about how much i asked for. he… -
Re: Moving to Cali! Cultural lessons please.
Hey congrats on the job at Blizzard! That's very awesome :) Someone mentioned In N Out but since you'll be in Irvine I can HIGHLY reccomend Sonic. Great fast food there as well, In N Out is great as well no hard feelings on them. There's more In N Outs than Sonics around SoCal. Most of the time the sales tax will be added… -
Re: Time "travel" is a crazy thing
Light can travel as fast as it does because it has no mass. Anything with mass warps space as it accelerates, thus requiring more energy to continue to accelerate. Space actually expands and contracts depending on your speed relative to the speed of light. It isn't that there isn't enough energy to accelerate to the speed… -
Re: shader question: staggering normals
yeah basically i am trying to do some SSS fake, i got decent result using light vectors before but we don't have light vectors any more with our new lighting.. i can access the luminance though so i wanted to blur the red channel of the luminance by a certain amount, the green channel by half that amount and the blue… -
Re: Mudbox 2011
Does my computer have to be really fast, to be able to do the same job in MB, that I can do fluently in ZB? I can edit rather easily, about 15 mil poly's in ZB. I know that's not a huge amount by today's standards, but can I work with the same amount in mudbox? I guess my point is this: I've used mudbox quite a bit, and I… -
Re: FPS weapons texture resolution
Even if its for a portfolio piece I would still stick by the same UV theory, and not only that, but also spend more time detailing the areas that are going to be seen up close in FPV that other areas. For a folio I would still consider the FPV angle render to be the money shot, and its just a good idea to use common…
