Re: Having constant headaches at work
This and water drinking have been my best solutions right now. Especially the water, thx for the suggestion. It's 25 in there which is allright but some days, the air is really heavy on me, I admit. I'm not going to complain at the studio though, I'm still just a small guy here. thx for the kind words and will definitely… -
Re: Blaster Pistol WIP
This weapon is made of some sort of metal by looking at the concept. So you need to concentrate on defining your materials. A good start for metal is a dark diffuse, high contrast specular map, and a low gloss setting (10 to 25). Once you have that as your base you can start adding/ removing your details (like the painted… -
Re: Microsoft Surface
Anyone else read Gabe from Penny-Arcades review of the surface? http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/02/25/the-ms-surface-pro It's nice to have a review from an artist's viewpoint. However, it can't run photoshop with pressure sensitivity? Surely that's proof that it's just going to be yet another conflict become wacom's… -
Re: What Modern Games are missing!
im pretty sure what modern games are missing is your 12 year old mind. what i mean is that everything was cool back then to a kid and i think that its just a nostalgia thing honestly. I mean, pretend that games are still in their infancy and some 8 bit game just came out and youre 25-30, w/e years old (not a child). its… -

Re: "Low Tech" Scifi Rifle
4k is what I would expect for a 'large' gun in a first person shooter. As for tri count, I would expect this to be in the 25-60k triangle range if it was for a first person game in this new generation. As for your bake errors. I would assume that you used 'mirror' inside of 3dsmax? If you do that you have to reset the… -
Re: Maya - optimize by angle.
If you are using Maya 2014 they added some nice features to the reduce tools. If you use the mesh borders option it will preserve the large shape almost every time, or you could use the hard edge option if you set the edges you want to hard. I use 25 percent because its easier just to click it a bunch of times instead of… -
Re: Brawl winners coming soon
As I didnt enter my opinion on releasing the results is matterless. But because we only had 1 vote I can predict that the voting went something like this: 1st= 200 votes 2nd= 75 3rd= 25 4th= 15 5th= 5 6th= 4 7th= 4 8th= 3 9th= 3 10th= 2 11th to 20th = 1vote the rest = 0 or something to that sort of ratio. -
Re: Average salary for a character artist in the UK.
depends on alot of factors, how long you have been working in the industry? how many of those are as a character artist? how good you are? where you are living/working? etc. I think its anything from £25-30k with about 3+ years experience. recession means they will try and get you as cheap as possible so go in high but… -
Re: Workstation tips
Eh, I think it's fairer to say it's the "least smart option". Anyone who is backing up their data at all is doing the smart thing. Ultimately backups have a cost though and especially for students and younger people who don't have the resources to buy a NAS, ordering a spindle of blank DVDs for $25 is a hell of a lot…
