Re: Need good gaming computer to ditch consoles
I recently built my wife a computer, prior to this she was running a 7 year old Dell. It held up well over the years but let's face it, a Radeon 9800 and DDR ram just doesn't cut it these days. I'm not a computer wiz by any stretch of the imagination, but here's what I went with: These are the parts I bought (from Newegg):… -
Re: The downward salary slope for game artists [Gamasutra article]
oXYnary: Indirect taxation relates to costs that people must pay (such as government paid meat inspectors and other similar types of indirect costs). Another good example of indirect taxation is having businesses pay people to track state sales taxes imposed by state legislatures. An accountant has to be paid (for most… -
Re: no games use coloured specular
Well having used Unreal to make Mass Effect I found the shader editor liberating, enabled us to create a range of cool shaders and great fx. Sadly we resorted to using standard shaders for a lot of the assets *loosing subtle elements that we had setup for specific assets). Not gauging performance early on in development… -
Re: Critique my portfolio please~
I think the biggest problem right now is that you're using bullshit thumbnails where you can't even tell what your clicking on beforehand in some cases. I mean I recognize the Guild Wars house and can kind of see what the wolf scene is about. However the first one is pretty difficult to tell what it's about and the third… -

Re: Australian Employement scene

Are there the same amount of jobs? No where near it, but the previous work for hire model where we all undercut each other to the bone… -
Re: Bernie Sanders ideas is to make Wall Street pay for free education
I am all for LGBTQ rights. But I really think most of the 'progress' comes from religion simply losing its power and control over the masses... and yes religion was a huge business. Ysalex I think I'm totally aligned with most of your views, but I tend to take these papers as hard facts. Because when you pseudo-fy… -
Re: UE4 - Interior Environment - Genius Party Apartment
Been working on the tiles, trying to push the Hall Way kit. I've also decided to try and reuse the nodes to create the 10x10 version that will be used in the Kitchen area. now for the adhesive under neath, I've been advised to keep the missing tiles versions of this material (that will show whats beneath the tiles) should… -
Re: Art Consistency on Mods.. Streamlining?
And if the artists not sticking to the designs (at least fairly closely) and ideas behind the mod and art direction, let them know. Give them SOME freedom but not so much that what they produce is unusable due to difference in style or design. And don't "feel sorry" for people when including textures or whatever - make it…
