Re: Earth Golem W.I.P.
Brad, thanks for the encouragement. I just spent the last hour looking for retopo tools and tried exporting levels to max to turn it into an urban golem with a street/houses/streetlamps. It went terribly wrong of course... and yeah I haven't played the game either unfortunately. I'll keep on this though, I've a few ideas… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
Well, if you're planing on living in one place for a while(I know this can be a stretch in the game industry) owning your own home still makes a lot more sense than renting. I mean think about it, when you rent, you KNOW you're just pissing away money. At least the housing market has historically gone up, and if you talk… -
Re: University of Hertfordshire (BA & MA Games Art, 2D & 3D Animation & VFX, Comics & Concept Art)
Isn't that a little unfair? I'm sure there are hundreds of students who are desperate for some quality tuition (which your course clearly provides) but may not have had the chance to gain adequate skills. By offering valuable places on your couse to accomplished students simply because they want to 'live a little' (by… -
Need some help unwrapping
Hey everyone, I never tackled a model that uses a lot of UV space. I am modelling a low poly house, and have run into a problem. As you can see, I have only unwrapped the house, have ran out of space, and at that, the house has barely any UV space for a nice looking texture. How do you guys go about unwrapping a house? I… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2014 Edition
The Day looks great, but the Night, I'm not sold on. With such a large Hunter's moon behind the house the front would not have all that ambient on the walls. Nor would there be any real bounce since the light would be bouncing away from the house. Most of the from of the house would be in shadow. The Shadows would be quite… -
Re: Critique my game environment please!
Hi! like the overall atmosphere :+1: Looking closer, I think he shape of the fence boards looks a bit odd, the tip being sharpened on the flat sides (top face beveled with unapplied scale?) and they are quite thick. The fence would benefit in some slight variance in board placement and color as well. Most fences I have… -
Re: When is the perfect time to start doing my portfolio, having in mind that you have a job as well?
You should work constantly on your Portfolio. Considering you need around 200+ hours to finish a character it does take a long time if you have todo it while working on a day job. For me its not possible to create more than one Character a year. My wife and my two kids + building a house are eating all the time. -
Re: Time consuming

In time you'll regret working long hours and neglecting those close to you. Life's short man! Your being underpaid, working unpaid overtime and not being able to show your work! Your position will most likely not change if its been 7 years. Probably time to move on. Maybe get an in-house job somewhere? A lot of studios… -

Re: Final Fantasy XII
I played through the first hour at my buddy's house last night and I'm still rolling my jaw back up off the floor. The urban environments in Rabanastre were just some of the most beautiful I've ever seen... and to think it's possible on a PS2! For me it was the kind of experience that makes you ashamed to NOT be doing…
