Re: Tiling Stone Texture in Zbrush
Its funny how old techniques get rediscovered or rewritten again, This is not bad at all (just don't claim it) But people should listen a bit more to the people from the industry who are working with this everyday. -To me, Regello is Substance designer texture king and works at Naughty dog, but will never brag about it.… -
Re: staying motivated
It depends of the project and the context. Right now, I'm working on a side game project with some programmer friends of mine and because of discipline, my art development is slow. However, last year, when I was working on my student short film, I would come and work everyday to school from 9 am to 10 pm. Ended winning the… -
Re: did your fulltime job make goals unreachable?
Absolutely do make fulfilling goals very difficult, especially when it comes to personal art and balancing life goals. The artist life (or any entertainment career) is not an easy one, especially in the games industry where hours can be insane and stress through the roof. Everyday have that feeling of never being able to… -
Re: Props for Games
Ok I've gotten some really good advice on here and everyone is very helpful. Thanks to you all that threw in their two cents.

I was just recently turn down by a studio in Texas guess they didn't like what they saw.… -

They decide to play games together on these trips. Mike, Sam, George, and Phil all hang out at the park alot waiting for their events to happen.… -
Re: Analytical Thinking
Nice one. I have had similar thoughts on my mind lately. I like the bit about leaving the popup menu up while working. I use XSI everyday and basically everything you do, especially material setup involve them. They are really quite powerful once you learn to use them effeciently but I catch myself out sometimes closing… -
Re: productivity time sink & barricades
I will just comment on my daily routines rather than getting too specific on certain applications. Generally I find that I am far more productive by listing my tasks in little chunks. I keep my dairy open on my desk everyday and just write down the days goals. In terms of my 3d/2d work I might break it down like: - Texture… -
Re: Time Warner Cable
Ditto. I have never paid for Cable TV. The channels I need are free, and the shows I want are online for free. What recession? Can anyone find an article on online gaming, and the bandwidth it can use per month? I see that as being my main concern. Paying a fee for online gaming, and being limited in using it for what it's… -
Re: Transformers: The Movie
different interpretations ARE fun but I really wanted this to be the one that showed Transformers for what it was. But its just taken too many creative freedoms. The chance for Transformers G1 to be represented was right now but because they are changing it, the chance is practically lost and thats why people are pissed.…
