Re: How do you beat artist's block?
I think there are a couple of causes of artistic block - fear of failure and lack of inspiration. The first one happens when you put undue pressure on yourself before starting a piece. You say to yourself 'this is going to be the BEST thing I've ever done' and immediately there can be a pressure that makes you overly aware… -
Re: 3ds Max 2016 VS. Maya 2016 for modeling?
Max with scripting gets messy and chaotic. Especially when it comes to building modeling tools, because the ways in which you edit a mesh, are schizophrenic and in desperate need of unification. There are 4 different modes to edit objects (Editable poly, Edit Poly, Editable Mesh, Edit Mesh). All of them have similar… -
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… -
Looking for friendly advice on how to get the ball rolling
I have dabbled in 3d and 2d and seem to get side-tracked, or life throws me off whether its a ridiculous job or whatever. I am finally in a situation where I have more time to create art and can still make ends meet. My question involves me wondering what to do to actually get some experience going. I realize concept art… -
Re: Help needed choosing best looking games for a games course art library
The Order 1886, Ori and the blind forest, and Guilty Gear Xrd (as mentioned by Snowfly) are all good choices. You might also want to look into CupHead and the new Ratchet & Clank game once they're released. The former is using some very novel approaches to animation, and the later is sharing a lot of assets between the… -
Re: Polycounter, Kris Lee needs help from you,
I was sad to hear this news yesterday and am grateful to see it posted here this morning. Kris was a student of mine and I was always in awe of his work ethic and positive attitude. I'm certain he'll continue to be a positive force once he recovers and urge my fellow artists to support him to any degree that you can. -
Re: Viva le france DRM bites the dust
I've once heard that French is the 18th most common language on the planet, right behind German. The way French is forced upon us it almost seems like the second most common. As a third language in school I'd have preferred Turkish over French, at least with that I'd meet people speaking it almost everywhere I go. -
Jizz Wizards: kp's boardgame
Hiii, I've been making a board game over the last few months, play testing it with friends once every two weeks, and just wanted to share the current version's rules. Hopefully they make enough sense to where you could try playing it if you were so inclined. I've been using peanut butter wiki ( www.pbwiki.com ) to develop… -
Re: Death of THQ?
The reason the outcome is negative for them is because their definition of a demo is that the purpose is to increase the revenue of the product. Of course the outcome will be negative for the developers in this case. But, if you go the by the real definition of the word demo you get a different outcome dem·o 1 (d m )n. pl.… -
Re: [WIP] "Retro" Bedroom
@polysteve good start! I understand the temptation to jump into the prompts before nailing down the composition but you are doing it backwards. First settle on a composition. Have a point of view. Have a focal point. Than define the lighting. And then work on the props. Prop artist is hardly a position anymore and it's all…
