Hi there! After getting a bit of industry experience, I thought I'd like to make the transition & expand my skillset from an artist to that of a more well-rounded game developer; to both fill gaps in my skillset and to help turn this industry around for the better. This Sketchbook will be dedicated to the project I'll be…
Sorry, going to have to disagree with you here. If anyone is calling the shots and pulling the leashes on standards, it's Google. There's one person in the world that controls the direction of HTML5...ONE! That person is Ian Hickson, and guess who's payroll he's on? Google's. Anything that goes into the HTML5 standards has…
Surely the reverse can be true. That many of the doom-and-gloomers could be trying as best they can to express their dire straits, truths or not? I think part of the difficulty in these discussions is that we're using business analytics against consumer psychology. As in: all those losses business usually complain about…
I did the charcter art bootcamp there and it was ok. I prefered much more Adam Skutt's class, since he had his lectures planed and layed out and no time was wasted on trying to not step on other teachers toes - both when it comes to lectures and feedback. So while there was more feedback during the bootcamp I overall…
Well said, To add to the bit of "most companies just do not provide the right environment to grow ones creativity."" I must say that many employee's don't take advantage of the right environment, but I'm not sure if this is because of how busy everyone gets or that many employees simply lack the social skills and business…
I'm going to come out as a complete hypocrite here to refute that. In two different ways. I for the first time ever bought some Steam games during the recent sale, because of the great service and prices as well as great indie game packs. This is from someone who is a sworn hater of digital distribution. To the point that…
This monstrosity has been a rant of mine several times on the Max beta over the last few years............. the main targets being the shitty legacy material libraries that you CAN'T disable on install. Some 'stuck in a timewarp, early 2000s Arch-vis nerd' might have projects somewhere around the world that has…
You have a really damn solid base right now but imo you're just at the beginning of the texturing process (You've made the wrong barrel btw ;) ). The first thing I would do is define your materials better. The paint really doesn't look like paint, and the rubber handles don't quite look like rubber. Changing up hues,…
This is probably going to come off as if I'm ripping into you, but I'm bringing up my concerns based on my experience with the console and the games. I get what you're saying, it just looks really bad when they are caught faking it. It breads distrust and lowers my perception that they will be able to deliver a fun,…
I disagree completely and saying that they're wrong isn't going to change anything. It's you against millions of people. Who do you think has more collective time and resources? To call a video game, which is just an arrangement of 1's and 0's a product, means you're committing a misnomer. A video game is no more a product…
