What's the goal with this piece? it's pretty big so having some context from you would help us give better critique. Are you looking for notes on the animation or the story/pacing/shots, how far through the process are you, etc. Here are some simple notes as I watch through: :08 What's he doing with his foot as he walks…
Hey man, the traveling stuff sounds really good. It depends just how much you want to do, you don't want to go overboard with the present and make an awkward moment but at the same time you want to show her that you do care. And as some other people have said we really don't know the situation of your friendship at the…
Wrath: "what exactly are you showing off here?" - Well, i think you know better than me how much pain in the ass skinning can be (checked your site) - i like the example of tube, which show what the transformations created by bones actually are - just subdivide it enough and you wont be able bend it believably - no matter…
One problem is, GTA lets you run down pedestrians for no reason at all, and provides death sounds and animations. With Microsoft games, the pedestrians would always jump out of the way. I don't believe video games cause you do act violently...but I do wonder the reasons why developers include these types of choices. I've…
Christ that is the worst Wiki software I've ever encountered... If anyone wants to port these articles from mediawiki please do (I couldn't even figure out how to post an article at the polycount wiki...) Here are two technical articles, one slightly unfinished on shaders: http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Shaders and another…
Hehe totally Sage, I see what you mean (didn't want to sound like an angry ass btw, sorry if I did :P ) The thing I like about Max is that one can still work 'stack free' by simply not piling up modifers and staying inside the basic edit poly mode - no need to turn stacking off for that (don't think such thing is possible…
Polyherts, I said what I said because I see the trend you described as well. I also see this very intrusive trend of ads in games getting worse, but the cost doesn't go down. You pay 50 bucks so you can sit your butt down and watch a few ads. Now I mind that I can't skip them, but they are more or less fun to watch at…
Your 3d skills are very nice but typo seems to be your weak spot (not a beaty in all designs so far and somewhat clumsy imo.). Some general tips regarding fonts: - dont use more than 2 font faces (the first design has about 5 different). It makes the design looks cluttered and unprofessional - try to find fonts that…
i have to strongly agree here. raiden made mgs2 special. i have not played part one (will twin snakes arrive at the ps2 at all? i can't be bothered to either get that old ps1 game or a gamecube just to play tts) but for me solid snake in the tanker episode was just another cold blooded action hero, quite boring except for…
Before i critique just want to mention.. For years when posting anything art related i would never really give critique's or feedback (mostly due to my own self-doubt) but i feel it's about time i learn to show more of my own art and to not only take criticism but to also learn to try an give better constructive criticism…
