Hey man, Thought that some of this might be good inspiration for your hard surface stuff and for proportions etc. Hope this helps: They are very typical space marines but there is some nice HS examples especially from bulgarov in there. Its worth taking a look at Jes Goowin as well for workshops take on the space marine.…
Simple. Do both, and decide for yourself wich one you like to do most. On the programming side, do some smaller games (blackjack and that sort of stuff) and move over to things as writing small 2D games (mario for example). If my knowledge of the american school system is correct, you are still young (less then 18), still…
I love the tony hawk series, for me they are probably the most relaxing game next to super mario or so. I played every game from the series (THPS2, THPS4 and THUG2 are my favorite ones ) and am currently hooked on the DS version so I cant wait for this! Do you have any idea if this will also have a pc version? Because I'm…
i think the mentioned tri count is too high for secondary chars. it's heavily dependent on the style of your game, but i would go for 2k chars. the wii shader is working quite different to normal pc shader style. normal(just world space is supported), bump or specs are used very rare in present wii games. and they draw…
Super Meat Boy is out for PC now (on steam)! I decided to buy it because it looked so awesome and it was pretty cheap ;) . [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POYXzcnDiPg[/ame] So what do you think? My thought so far: -I had a bit of difficulty adjusting to the controls, he responds rather directly, not sliding like we're…
I made some updates to the drum magazine and started to tune the parts most visible from a first person perspective. Please note that I imported the original Storm Bolter model from Relic Entertainment's Warhammer 40.000 Space Marine for reference purposes only. As the Space Marine Storm Bolter shows some chamfered edges,…
I agree. I think there is still potential room for making the fantastic looking games/movies look even better though. I'm saying this because you never know what cool technique(s) could come next, I never imagined that games and movies could look as good as they do now about 20 years ago. Partly because of the quality of…
Great video, good points. I'm not sure comparing the games you played and the path you took to games kids play now and the paths they take is all that accurate. In today's games I see a lot more water down puzzles and less analytical thinking being required. The examples you use Mario and Braid are not typical examples the…
It makes me so happy to see a Mario Sunshine-like water with a modernized look. Amazing work with all the petals, leaves, and fish to accentuate it. I recreated your water material to learn how materials work in general and I have some questions that hopefully you could answer. 1) How did you get the water to have color…
Hey guys. My dad, a former marine, lived in a base called Camp Lejeune and unfortunately the water supply there was poisoned. The marine corps knew it was and they did nothing for a few years. If you wouldnt mind take a little time to sign and share this with your friends/family/facebook/twitter/something. My father along…
