Most consumers are probably not super interested in how a game was made. Depending on your price point I think it would be possible as an indie developer to use supplemental AI and still generate some revenue if the core concept was "fun" enough that your average Joes would be fine dropping $X on it. That being said, I…
Thanks everyone for the replies, I'll be taking them all into account for the next stretch of work I do. I did a little bit more work after posting, trying to put stuff I researched on my own into practice. I tried setting up some shapes and lights in 3DS max to see if that would help with finding the right colors to paint…
Ah, you have hidden your reply well :sunglasses: Fog cards I find they can help to elevate vistas, but to my knowledge shouldn't be layered too much due to the increased cost of the pixel on screen (Overdraw). Sample Projects I would follow the path Eric suggested. I haven't tried this one, but going by its description it…
Hey folks! Gettin busy with the Polycruncher for the first time & the initial result looks awesome. Normal and AO maps were successfully baked, so the UVs and smoothing groups all seem fine: But now the strange thing making me hesitate about moving forward is that once these base textures are applied, I wind up with some…
So ive been uploading my images to imageshack for a while now which so far has been fine i was kind of worried about it not being private and all that but recently ive been doing life drawing and anatomy studies. i uploaded them to show some people to get critique, the next day i find out that most of them have been taken…
Hey all, I'm hoping someone way more knowledgeable about hardware can shine some light on something for me. I just bought a new graphics card (Geforce GTX 570), got it all running, and stuff seems to run great on it. There's just one thing that's kind of worrying me. The windows experience index rates it a 6.0, however…
It's amazing how much this issue has gained traction in the last year, it'll be interesting to see what kind of change might be afforded. But there's one thing these articles/twitters/etcs are doing (probably unintentionally) that concerns me. In peoples' minds it's correlating GAME DEV = SEXISM Yes the overwhelming…
Yeah, these pictures are kind of mind boggling - and it's hard to tell if their special quality comes from the process itslef (somehow separating colors differently/more accurately than CCD sensors and color film chemicals ? Maybe ?), or if it merely comes from their anachronistic nature. One thing I would assume is that…
I wouldn't buy it if i were you. I use one at work every day and I kind of prefer an Intuos at times. Used in combination maybe it'd be better... But I find that the cintiq 12wx just interrupts my workflow. The lack of screen real estate is hindering and the cursor gets a bit jittery near the borders. I say that if you're…
