Thanks for the critique! I didn't even notice the clay look and I totally see it now. The style/effect I was going for was something similar to this: http://videogame-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/VideoGameArt_Darksiders2FanArt01_MichaelVincente.jpg But I agree that I missed the mark when it comes to the spec...I…
agreed. gameplay and cutscenes should all be skip/fast-forward-able and let us quicksave/-reload at all times as an option for the casual player. it's not very entertaining having to repeat some frustrating bit over and over again, nor is searching for the save-point when real-life demands your attention. not everyone has…
Please elaborate your "everything is a cube map point" as it's confusing. Cube maps are a poor aproximation of how lighting in the real world works. A followup article specifically relating this more photography geared post to how it relates to videogames is an awesome idea, and I shall endeavor to create one in the near…
There's a difference between eliminating/banning and preventing sales to minors. I'm sure noone at Rockstar except maybe the managers would want GTA to fall into kid's hands. The problem with videogames is that if your kid brings one home he's not supposed to play he can 1. hide it pretty long and 2. if you find out about…
hahaha too much time in front of a computer XD The only thing i wonder how to model is what i have on the paper :) If some day i get up, and i see myself in polygons, and all the world texeled like in a videogame... i would survive, but if i see all normalmapped and black, i would suicide myself hehehe. If you play with…
So will there ever be something to recognize the individuals who make these great games? rather than the company? when peter jackson won for lord of the rings, did the ceo of newline come up to recive the award? The thing is, as games get closer to movies, I hope that they get treated as such. The game designer akin to the…

The feeling of seeing it fixed was akin to beating a boss in Demon's Souls without co-op. Or like the feeling Salad Fingers gets when he gets a new rusty spoon. I think I'll keep messing around with modeling quite a bit more. When you say "lock, unlock, and lock them again" you mean conform the normals and smooth them and…
None, I spent most of my life wanting to design/program videogames and then when I went to Uni and actually started doing it, I realised that I hated it so I started to learn about 3D character production instead. Never had an art background before that. I don't believe in natural talent, however I do believe that people…
