Sure, I would say go ahead. As long as the game requires that audience participates willingly, I see no problem with any type of legal content. I really dislike this trend of claiming that art has some social responsibility that it must adhere to. The problem with censoring offensive speech is that it's very difficult to…
Tobbo: Thanks, but I am a bit confused on what you're saying since what I posted is actually not flat textures. The actual model was first created in highpoly and then I created a low game resolution from that model. Perhaps it's due to it being shown in still images but here is an image of only the normals. The panels,…
Hello everyone, I just had to register here as soon as I found this thread via google, when I was looking for video game art books :) I sure as hell dont want to beat a dead horse (this thread is a bit old) but I love the topic, collect video game art books myself and I feel it's still a relevant topic. I have also…
Thanks Der Hollander for the feedback. You know what, when I took a step back at the concept I still wanted to do it and with yours and shotguns input I've decided to go down the same route, changing a couple things here and there. Hopefully it's not a total let down, i'm just playing with an idea here, so let me know if…
@ Urzaz There's a fresnel for the diffuse that gives highlights to the sand where you see it at a low angle. Apparently coarse noisy surfaces like sand and sponges appear so. @ Der Hollander Thanks for the suggestions :> Indeed the KTM Xbow didn't fit an environment such as a sandy desert, I hope you like the KTM AX. I'll…
Depends on the task and time of day. Either techno-y stuff like Infected Mushroom or Fluke when doing mindless/repetitive tasks. Been listening to this a lot recently :P Or chillout stuff like EVE Online OST, Bluemars Cryosleep radio, Aire Freshener 2.0, Bohren und der Club of Gore... background noise, really. All mixed up…
@ Der Hollander Yeah, I definitely plan to adopt a similar approach to the project after this one, since it features more fine but potentially repeatable tech details than the one I'm working on now. @ Obscura Just to be clear, decals means a flat texture w/alpha. that I can stick on top of geo-in game (ie if I want leaks…
I have Sony MDR-V600 for the PC (EQ beat me~) and they're decent. I like them. Hurt my head sometimes by pressing into the glasses earpieces, but if I put on a hood or beanie under the headphones it doesn't matter. Mp3 player has these little Sennheiser canal phones - they are very nice; I recommend trying canal phones at…
hey not bad Mer....I think I like the third walk the best...been a while since I animated but I can still critique... the only thing that really stands out to me from all the walks is the right foot from the first walk...it looks as if that foot when it turns is on ice...kinda wierd, but its very minor. I think overall…
So for performance reasons (and maybe also because it theoretically could be a disk space issue), can I get a quick-and-dirty answer to this kind of a scenario: I'm working on a environment piece currently that's a witch's house. On the top of the house, there will be moderately detailed wrought iron weathervane (y'know,…
