Re: Stupid commentaries about what you do.
That's funny Johny. Excuse me If I'm blurring the guidelines of your thread somewhat : Whilst working on pre-rendered cinematics using shave & a haircut procedural hair plug-in for maya: EA producer: "Wow, that looks amazing. Can we get that working in game too?" Me: EA producer to press: "We use our own proprietary face… -
Re: Dynamic Character Project: Male Human
Re: Hands and feet / lack of references. I'll see if I can get my hands on some stable references. Without getting too far off topic, does anyone recommend (or recommend against) 3d.sk? Seems like a valuable resource for a reasonable price. @Johny: Thanks a ton- a very informative read. :} Re: Writing I think Smirnoffka… -
Re: whats cool in game graphics
as neox just asked me about post fx stuff, the basic operation for image filtering is "convolution". basically the output for each pixel is a weighted sum of its neighbors and self. imagine 3x3 weights & offsets with the middle pixel being the one we process. different values yield different results, e.g if we do 1/9 as… -
Re: Environment Art Portfolio Critique
Nice! I'll preface this with the fact that you did a nice job already! If the alterations below are minor it's because the work you've done here is pretty solid.

Re: GuildHall @ SMU ?
I don't want to take anything away from Guild Hall, but their program seems a bit light-weight from a 4 year school perspective. (the sample they have up has their semesters with only 9 or 10 credit hours. Not enough to be a "full time student" legally) If you don't have a family, I would take consider an easy-ish degree… -
