Re: "Nvidia, stop being a DICK"
I wouldn't say AMD hasn't done anything for R&D, TressFX was out before Nvidia's hairworks, and I'd say it's a bit better. There's also the whole Mantle/Vulkan API, and they were quick to release Free Sync, which is the cheaper option and comparable to G Sync. But I do agree on drivers, what takes Nvidia a day or week to… -
Re: Forest Lighting study
Amazing work! If you could share you leaf shader that would be amazing. I have been struggling with getting my leaves to look good with the new foliage shader model in ue4. Getting good roughness and SS maps proves difficult. Also regarding what locater16 said: Is it true going over 20K per tree is acceptable for next gen?… -
Re: What to do after submitted art test?
Thanks for the advice everyone :) , it has really helped me understand. Funny thing is that it was for Avalanche Studios in NY. I got an email from them today and unfortunately I did not get the job. I'm pretty sure I know why, but that is just another lesson learned and a slap in the face to keep my eyes open and pay… -
Re: Portfolio & Workflow Critique
Reduce the spacing from RESUME and the work. Seems like the padding is a bit much. I'd say you need another full scene maybe and a few more props. Right now I'm not sure what kind of style you're focusing on. I would pick current gen or stylized and go from there. Focus on 1 area and master that. Right now your scene is… -
Re: Infinity Blade

I played it on a friends 4th gen and couldnt believe how gorgeous it was, Ive only got 3rd gen so its not so pretty but still breath taking for an ipod game. Im loving the unreal engine on this puppy. Character design is mainly… -
Re: low poly curiosity
1) Yes, instancing isn't an issue, as long as you follow a simple rule of materials. Which is this: http://www.michaeldashow.com/tips_texturepainting.html 2) You have to determine it by your details. If it's up-close and personal, with loads of intricate details, then model those on a reasonable level, in a portfolio… -
Re: the *ART JAM* - please join in :)
Posting some ideas use what you like: Pixel games turned current gen/next gen Animals turned into vehicles - lookalike (think voltrons/tigers ) Your favorite game character/s turned chibi ? Make an original Pokemon Envision what you would look like in a game, are you the hero? a wanderer, the Villian? You could be a robot,… -
Re: New member looking for 3D Animation software.
I wouldn't recommend Wings for game artists, though. Mind you, I got started on Wings, and still miss some of its features in every other program I use. Its strictly winged-edge topology and relatively low polycounts (before the viewport slows down a lot) make it hard to use for current-gen games (and the former makes it… -
Re: Steel Predater
[ QUOTE ] agh now it looks too much next gen boring greyish brownish i like the previous colours more [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, the "next-gen brown" look is pretty gross. Played through half of Gears of War and I needed to look at Mario Sunshine shots afterwards just to wash my eyes. The blueish color scheme on this guy was nice,… -
Re: Just saying Hello
If you don't think you can cut it anymore why not try becoming an animator. "Next Gen" is really current gen, you can get a job at a company doing things the old way but eventually you're going to have to bite the bullet and learn how to do it. When I get home from work I usually don't feel like doing any 3D but I've done…
