I'm a game art student in a class where I spend the entire quarter making a portfolio worthy outdoors environment in Unreal Egine. This is the first week, and I've decided to make an abandoned city. Not destroyed, but definitely a scene in a state of abandon and disrepair. I'm trying to channel a lot of Silent Hill into…
You're improving. This latest piece is the more promising but you still need to look harder at the reference of your subjects. See with your eyes not your brain, work out the colours the surface contains, work out the story of what happened. For the shack above, you've got a basic shape but the transit between the two…

However, Nack isn't strictly limited to small patches. * Scale: The 1x1m limit is mostly a 'flash power' constraint. For a 10-meter rocky mound, the Sun becomes the perfect directional light source. As long as there's a clear…
Sorry to hear about this, wish everyone the best of luck. These are some pretty harsh times. And yep, it's pretty nasty, seems to happen all the time these days. Makes you think the whole publisher/studio co-op is a bit f****. And seeing as the publishers must make more money from the game than they pay the studio for all…
Thanks for the fast replies. Yes an SSD is on the shopping list too ;) Although I agree that on the face of it 16Gb should be fine, its really hard for me to say since I'm unsure what size images or what frequency i'll be creating them. Hence why I was asking and hoping someone might have some ideas of their typical memory…
Background Information I've been programming as long as I can remember (I know I started before I was 10) and I've always wanted to program a mmorpg. I've had some free time last couple weeks and decided I might actually give it a shot and so I bought a couple books and read them (if your curious about what books, I'll…
