Thanks for posting this. If this had better animations and was as polished as Blizzard, I would prolly play it over WoW. I really dig the art and the 3D characters- The brute really appealed to me, especially the fact that you can make him into such a giant. Too bad though :P Still, good art will always be good eye candy!…
So retro. Working with hi poly all the time to normal map my 'skin' makes me nostalgiac for how quickly stuff can be knocked out on the old tech. Of course, it still requires a skilled driver behind the wheel to make it look good. I'm glad you're going to Blizzard Soul as I love the fantasy stuff much more than the Scifi.…
Damn that sucks. Looks like they just put off their layoff until much later and they really didn't weather the storm that much better than the other big players =/ It probably would have been a lot worse if they hadn't hitched their wagon to Blizzard. I think Take2 is gearing up to do another round of 400+ layoffs this…
Or... You can sign up to fight for America and get your citizenship in as little as 6 months. And presuming you survive by dodging mortar rounds for a couple of years in Afghanistan, applying at Blizzard/id/valve should be a piece of cake when you get back "home". :thumbup:…
Blizzard and EA both have online stores where you can get direct downloads, although EA's store is a bit evil, once you buy a download you have to get it within 30-60 days, after that the download will "time out" and you won't be able to download the game you've paid for any more - so make backup copies of the installer.…
Thanks for the tips fletcher :) I do agree with Vrav though, I noticed great artists use Corel painter especially at Blizzard and Carbine. It is an app I need to practice more with if I expect to push myself more into this art direction. The smooth wet brush feels more natural to me and less work when you are painting with…
I've started a new project! This time I'm doing a Blizzard fanart. My two main references for this one are Muradin (Heroes of the Storm) and Torbjorn (Overwatch). The first hours of every project are always the most painful. It looks like I don't know how to do it anymore. Hopefully, I believe that now I'm getting in the…
you guys might also want to consider other countries. The US are probably the toughest country to get a work visa for. It's like saying "My first job shall be at Blizzard, and nowhere else!" (now what are the chances of that?). Don't limit yourself and do some research about your options. There are many studios all over…
That applies to pretty much everything in anything. If there's some kind of problem with 1 of Google's products, google gets the blame, not the guy responsible for whatever the problem was. If a patch/update broke something in WoW, the whole of blizzard gets the blame. If there's visible dirt in your mcdonalds/nandos/any…
^That reminds me of Alegorithmic's Substance procedurally generated materials/textures. Its also interesting if you tie it back to how this can be used to save space, especially considering how many Blizzard games allow you to download just a small portion of the game and start playing while the rest of the game downloads…
