Re: For teaching purposes can you kindly donate any current gen assets?
Consider this is the UK and the maximum tuition fee each year is £9000. Now almost every course I have seen not just in games but across several different subject areas almost all of them are at the maximum of £9000 and I think the lowest I have ever seen is £8700. This is a rough breakdown of where those fees go (don't… -
Re: Why is Polycount so dark and green?
Good examples, which is why I really think it depends on the artist style and work. Also either way, I wouldn't suggest a 100% black or white either way, darker grey or lighter grey, somewhere near the 80-90%. Another consideration is that many people find white or light websites more professional than dark or black sites,… -
Re: (possibly) Never eat again - Soylent shake
People who know me, know that I ask a lot of weird hypothetical questions. For years, one of which has been: "If you could have a machine that analyzed your body, and prepared a mix of perfect nutrients that would fuel your body and maximize your health/lifespan, but wouldn't be normal or especially tasty food anymore,… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
You really have to take this documentary with a hand full of salt. I think they should have cut the music for one thing, it evokes sadness that can bias your own opinion, adding to that, they're only showing the worst of what goes on. It is sad that animals are subjected to cruelty though, would be better if people raised… -
Re: Ambient Occlusion Confusion
I'd advise against using Maya's transfer maps for baking AO. You've already come across one problem which is actually caused by the way Mental Ray generates AO. Whether your low poly is inside, outside or a mixture of both shouldn't be a factor when baking. Mental ray (wrongly) includes the bake target (i.e. your low poly… -
Re: Sketchbook: dGreenberg
Thanks @pmiller001! Option C really feels like its the most fun version right now, but I still have that bias towards Option A since I've been staring at it the longest. I might need to let it sit in my head a bit before I know for sure, but I'm thinking I'll definitely incorporate a few things from each version. No… -
Re: Sketchbook: Isso09
If people said things the way they were, there would be no humour. That's not only because we can very rarely (if ever) be honest with ourselves and other, but also because it's impossible to view things outside of your own bias. So the best you can hope for is staying as true to yourself as you can. Of course, how you… -
Re: In need of motivation
What do you want to be hired as, an artist or a programmer? If I were in your position I would pause on the programming and focus only on art, if that's really what you want to specialise in. You need to get to a competitive level. Look at online job offers to see what they expect from you. Also, check the wiki. That's… -
Re: Real Time Water & Destruction, InGame Editing & Adding Faces, Lines, Vertex's
As far as I'm concern, making a very realistic dynamic water in engine are extremely expensive, as they are calculating bias per each units. I.e. Calculate the volume of each space water is in, and then ensure that it detects collision with something. We're not in the future yet. As for destruction, a lot of time are… -
Re: Will Donald Trump ban all immigration to the United States
To be fair, Trump never said "all mexicans are rapist". There is an article written by a Bernie Supporter actually chastising the left for spreading that lie. http://www.salon.com/2015/12/21/the_media_needs_to_stop_telling_this_lie_about_donald_trump_im_a_sanders_supporter_and_value_honesty/ The bigger problem we have is…
