Re: Creativity friendly enviroment and more
They try and teach us in school that went deadlines depend on it, you are forced to sit down and do it. I'm a firm believer in this philosophy that when livelihood depends on it, you will perform, and excuses like: I don't have time I'm not inspired I'm having a bad drawing day drawing block/artist block/writers's block… -
Re: Denmark refuses to apologize over Prophet cartoons
Funny, the biggest serries of blown calls in modern american sports in recent memory happened last Sunday durring the mother of all football sporting events, the supperbowl. And yet not a single riot. Seattle, the home of the WTO roit of 99 aka the Battle in Seattle, is still standing and not a single car was set on fire.… -
Re: Utility to assist with low poly level editing
Hi Folks, The app is aimed very much at the academic market, for teaching low to medium polygon 3D modelling and texturing, as well as some basic gameplay elements, with a zero pipeline export path ( ie you don't export into a file, that has to be imported and tweaked in another app / included in a WAD file etc ). Most of… -
Re: Iphone Game (would love some feedback)
KazuyaMochu: I originally had the game running tilebased but I just had trouble getting it to look the way I wanted and also had a lot of seam problems - I'd like to stick with a hand made method for the levels just so they all feel really unique (I'll be changing the other levels, every level is a different theme sort of)… -
Re: Photorealism
I am currently a big fan of the "blur-the-lightmap-and-reapply" method: it get a very nice, subtle (and that's the key) softening of the light striking the skin. I find the thin-skin translucency thing is way overdone - in real life it's a very subtle, and rarely seen effect except in certain special cases (sunlight coming… -
Re: Matching diffuse/spec to normal maps 1:1 100%
I always use an AO map on top of any local map generated from high-poly geometry. In Max I always bake different "material" sections as different colours like EarthQuake said - as contrasting as possible so you can use them as selections in PS. Just assign different materials with different diffuse colours then add a… -
Re: What Could Recruitment/Staffing Companies Do Better?
Personal opinion third party recruiters are in 99% of cases pointless and a waste of time for artists. Recruiters can be a ambassador for the candidate, but that's what your portfolio is and its more transparent than what someone might claim about you. My girlfriend, as a producer, was headhunted by a good recruiter, who… -
Re: Maya and it's Weighted Vertex Normals
Hello - It sounds like you may be mixing up custom/manually edited normals (allowing for seamless destructable models, billboard trees looking smooth, grass blending well with the ground, controlled shading on anime faces, and so on), and weighted normals (the very specific kind of normals editing consisting of bending the… -
Re: Mass Effect Andromeda
Honestly I've not seen a game with as many bugs as this one... I didn't had any crashes so far or major break downs (except a corrupted autosave and broken waypoints on a story quest), but minor and annoying things (besides the crazy amount of glitches I've been killed as I was talking to people and enemies came up to me… -
Re: Quantic Dream's Kara
Women can be lecherous. The point is they never get the chance to be, they are portrayed as meek fuckdolls 99% of the time. Just changing it to a creepy lecherous female operator would also have been incredibly fresh in terms of game themes. The point is not that Men are always creepy and women aren't, it's that we always…
