Re: What should be in your portfolio?
For my folio as an Environment Artist I really tried to convey that I am capable of creating a breadth of different genres and styles. I don't believe in tailoring my folio to a certain studio. I think that if I do a project that a certain studio likes, it's great. But those intelligent, artistic people should also be able… -
Re: 3dsmax - Cat Rig CatMotion walk cycle. Knees keep popping between straight and bent.
I say this because I was once in your place... CAT is pretty decent and very flexible, but you do give up some freedom in order for the system to function, it's that way with all automated rigging solutions. There always have to be rules for a procedural motion system like that to work. It's nearly impossible to design an… -
Re: Where did all the cheats go?
Well built in cheats are still in on a fair amount on games at least on pc. I have to admit I'm not such a big fan of them. I mean I play to enjoy a game and at certain points have a challenge. I've played games with a way harder default difficulty than most of the games that are out now which do focus on the casual and… -
Re: How's the Job outlook for new environment artists?
Same as it's been for the last few years, maybe a little gloomy if you're looking for full time employment at a super stable big name company.

Re: Zombpocalypse Released

Doesnt match the graphics of the game either, which looked better than I first thought. It just felt amateurish with those menus :/ Woulda… -

Re: Script/plugin management project - looking for input
Yeah I am aware of his project. It seems we independently started with a similar concept at about the same time. We discussed collaboration with him quite a while ago, but ended up having slightly diverging goals it seemed. For us 3dsmax will still be the initial target platform though. -
Re: More important issue than immigration.
Noone's talking about it because everyone but the most deluded party fanboys has seen it coming for years now. And no topic is more important than any other topic. By drawing your attention to a single high-profile issue they can divert your attention from dozens of domestic problems. -

Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
I've seen (V+L)/2 being used before, and it seems to work ok when the angle between V and L aren't too large. As they diverge, though, the approximation gets progressively less accurate. Afaik, it's not a huge optimisation, and the benefits of normalize(V+L) outweigh any minor costs.
