Re: Unreal Engine 4
Tim Elek has made two tutorials so far in a VFX series we've been doing. Should be more coming of these. https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/a-new-cascade-vfx-tutorial-series https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Visual_Effects:_Lesson_01:_Material_Particle_Color… -
Re: Alternate industry entry points
Honestly if you want an art position there aren't many ways into the art side that don't ultimately come down to "have a really good portfolio and apply." Internships still require a good portfolio, working in QA and moving to art is going to require just as good a portfolio as coming from the outside, at least at my… -
Re: Are there retopology specialists?
in VFX its not unusual to have to compartmentalized in its own department, in games it's not really a thing. Unless you have like interns that do this stuff and UVs for you. ideally we do not get there, because lets face it, it's a shit job, the least interesting in the process. But also one that will have implications on… -

Re: Project: Infinitesimals - An Indie Game Art Development Log
As a bit of a tangent, I've been working on some of the "on foot" aspects for a couple of days. Primarily getting a prototype ballistics system going. At the moment all projectiles ricochet but the next step is to ricochet at glancing angles + material type modifiers (not forgetting inherent projectile modifiers).… -
Re: 40 axed are Rockstar San Diego ?
I don't think a union is feasible because this is a global industry and you will never get all developers worldwide to agree terms. Which means that even if you could unionize in certain territories then there would always be non-union devs elsewhere that would undercut union-dictated rates. Quite a few people are trying… -
Re: C4D 14 with sculpting!
I used it for quite a while, mostly between my transition from VFX to game art. My avatar is actually from a castle I made in C4D some years ago. Cinema 4D, the "4D" comes from animation (time). Its not that cheesy of a name, actually. Cinema 4D is 100% for sure the easiest program to get into 3d with. It far surpasses… -
