Re: Article: Game Art Art
Simon, all the screenshots you present come from the emulator right? So unless someone looks up what the original hardware was capable of, we don't know 100%. As you say it makes no sense if the depth-buffer was lower res. Maybe the emulator decided to visualize the depth-buffer in lower-res to make it pop out more? Maybe… -
Re: Just graduated, about to buy software, have questions
Thanks guys. Ok so I checked out Silo. First impressions were that the modeling tools are indeed very good, very fast and very intuitive. I was also pleasantly surprised by the UV tools, and those retopo tools are incredible! However, it crashed 5 times in the hour or so I used it, twice when I was mirroring something and… -
Re: Can anybody give me advice on a high end digital camera?
Avoid these "SLR Sized" point and shoot cameras like the plague. They are expensive, just as big and heavy as a dSLR, but everything about them is totally inferior, the features you get out of a $400 fake-slr are little better than a $150 compact point and shoot camera. You get a super tiny sensor, which is terrible for… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
Checking your script against our in-game stats, it matches exactly! Except... when I'm forcing a surface to turn off backface-culling. We do this at the material level, by checking the 2-sided checkbox. Then during export the vertices that have that material ID assigned will be duplicated in order to automatically create… -

Re: Brexit and games
I agree with you @Stinger88. And I'm sorry to hear that it has affected you and your wife. I've been in this country for almost 7 years. I've worked, paid taxes, held flats etc to my name. However 5,5 of those years were in higher education. According to the people I talked to about getting a residency here, education… -
Re: Phantom Pain/ Metal Gear Solid 5
Observing the social media reaction to this reveal is quite fascinating. It really goes to show that no matter how hard we try, people are always going to think of video games as something that is by default for kids, and the masses are always going to be offended by things they do not research the context of. Maybe there… -
Re: Reel Pieces.... Need help...
Thanks Daz. That tank almost got me my first real full time job at least two years ago so I sort of have a little love for it. The art lead of the team really loved it, but he felt my work was inconsistent. All the models are made to fit in RTS games except the Cute Tank. I do hate the very hard highlights on the M1 tank… -
Re: Bummin Thieves!!
Kwakkie- yes it was stuff I made for something I did 3-4 years ago. In the same vein as Quake retexturing, there is a way to do it for n64 emulators. Instead of reading the textures from the game, it loads higher resolution ones instead. That had some of the pieces in there. ~400 total. I feel that the work I did on that… -
Re: re - rejoining the army
desk-job/pop ? yeah I'd say if its just to log data or something but anything physical might be a challenge, wine aside, i learned eating just any grass-fed meat and pasta with d.o.p. cheese for 3 years regulates the body to 100% weight for the height but I'd just do it for 1 year the most next time around. I've been 155…
