Re: Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter
Telltale found the niche and got into through having done many licensing-games and then scored a publishing and funding deal with gametap, they distributed sam & max exclusively to begin with. Without that deal they would've never been able to do it. With what money?, they've been wanting to make psychonauts 2 for quite… -
Re: Sketchbook: heyguy
Whats up guys. I know my way around photoshop pretty well when it comes to making textures for 3d models and stuff but I've never really done digital painting/concept art. This basically my first digital painting. I'm liking how it's looking so far but I'm having trouble painting believable reflection on the armor. Though… -
Re: Need an honest opinion, in a mid life crisis at the moment
Hez right. VFS and AODt are not really worth spending money on. Instead if you wish to spend money, try Sheridan college. They have good CG programs.

Scott Spencer:… -

Re: Graphic Design Hero: Tells off Craigslist
[ QUOTE ] 'the industry'? So do you now mean videogames or graphic design, or are you still putting them both in the same basket? Whilst I agree that the average 3D artist salaries are too low, with certain stars aligned it's perfectly possible in either profession to earn very good money. I'm glad you made the right… -
Re: get this sketchbook! it's awesome

All that hard work optimizing digitized models, stitching character heads to current gen models, OH how about making player textures from templates! How could relic ever work under such experienced conditions? Oh, I… -
Re: 3D used too much in films?
Digital matte painting isn't really the same as plonking in a cg animated actor, which I think is what we're really looking at here. Speaking as someone who works with animatronics for a living as well as a long time fan of monster movies and practical effects and makeup work, I always enjoy seeing films take advantage…
