Pretty much, yeah. Like been stated already. 1. Pay or no pay. If pay, how ? 2. How committed are you ? Are you just starting ? Are you prototyping ? Can you finish the game with just primitives like cubes or spheres ? What's worse than work for free is to work for a waste of time. 3. Are you just wanting artist's assets.…
Read several things from both sides. Since I live in Poland I have pretty intense amount of news flood about the subject. I read the article. I am not here to explain the situation. It's too hard and too big for me to explain it in not my native language (also I lack knowledge). I know it's not a conspiracy theory though.…
I use 3dsMax for most custom engines as it gives me the biggest freedom with object types and file formats when using maxScript. These are some screenshots for a upcomming game project I did some research on: (flash demo: http://renderhjs.net/bbs/polycount/iso_project_engine/ In the past I used to write always my own…
you're right it is subjective, and I was talking of my own experience, I did try digital with Painter and PS and I dont find them rewarding at all. in fact with a small wacom its a complete pain in the arse.. with a large canvas and a brush I can paint with my whole arm which I love doing. Theres more freedom and I do find…
Well the problem is, what do you do when your freedoms ARE restricted? I'm not going to make an assumption about your gender, race, etc. but it sounds like you haven't exactly been in a position where you are restricted in one way or another because when that does happen, it is a pretty shitty feeling that is quite…
If I was in your position it would have to be a killer project I would be willing to work on regardless of payment or not. If the brief was so amazing and I had creative freedom and the chance to show my work, I'd do it. That almost never happens though. What you want to avoid is an uncomfortable working environment. In…
I think "common" are all types but they have all limitations. Theoretical 3d scan or photograpy is the "easy" way, but you need a real life template and so it can be very hard to find or not exist. With hand painted texture you have the freedom but it can be very hard to make good looking textures. Often it is a mix like…
TLDR: I know the art school I went to, had in the fine print (which I found out after) of my 'contract' that it is illegal for me to publicly bash the school. Of course people are going to say freedom speech, blah blah, but regardless I found out I signed a paper saying I would not shit talk the school, and they can sue me…
/tinfoilhat Major news outlets saw a down turn in their ratings, and paid hacker groups to hack companies that'd generate news, to start a media frenzy and panic over internet security, so their tech-security sponsors and investors would get some monies. ororrrrrr the government is funding hacker groups, to influence state…
You can't. It has nothing to do with the ESRB. The ESRB is simply a rating system. Ever watch "People vs Larry Flynt"? Well that's where games are right now. We are not considered an art form, so we can NOT parody anyone. Games do not have freedom of speech, and are not protected by the first ammendment. If you decided to…
