There's more free games out there than anyone will ever be able to play in his lifetime, no one really needs the games you pay for, they're a luxury where there are ton of other games for free. No I actually agree with that first thing, as I've mentioned earlier in my posts, there really isn't any way to stop piracy…
Well hair and capes still seem to be the bain of game development. There is always a lot of fine tuning to get it just right and interpenetration keeps many animators up at night , I am sure. I have not done a whole lot of hair and capes myself as I am not an animator, but from my experience working on games, I think the…
Welcome to polycount Braxer. It's always nice to see WH40k stuff. The first thing I'd say is that the texture is too dull. What's interesting though is that you actually did a good job of getting some small burn/scratch marks on the model in many of the right places, but it seems as if you merged all layers and decreased…
Mari has got a builtin VrayMtl shader if you like being able to easily see the result of your texture while you paint it. Plus, it's the only real choice for creating "extreme detail" like you say in your OP. You can easily put 100 or more 2k textures on a model and Mari can mostly handle it gracefully if you've got a good…
Gdansk Wood Panel Another doodle I made these days to keep practicing SD. I was very inspired by this picture of the St Mary Church's door at Gdansk (Poland). 100 % made with Substance Designer and rendered in Marmoset.

If films are your main interest, you might also consider Mari: https://www.foundry.com/products/mari I like Substance Painter+Designer, but haven't tried Quixel since like its first version years ago, so I can't really give an informed comparison. Blenders texture painting was extremely basic and feature poor compared to…
A dream job is a difficult one. Especially after the way Odow put it, sure it'd be nice to have something akin to Valve's snack bar and just feast on all the delicious food and play some Mario Kart on the lunch break. But really for me, no matter if the studio building itself is decrepit and worn down, having a team of…
Steve looked down on the gaming community from what I recall hazily (not sure, but I'm sure that gaming wasn't his goal for his platform), and Mark didn't do anything other then to set up a platform from where people made rip-off games run on budget. Carmack led the entire graphics/gameplay dichotomy. Gabe showed that…
mop, i think you missed the point, it's from the side, we can't see any of the front design. how are you going to be able to create this character without taking plenty of liberty regarding how he appears from the front? this http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/marine/raul.jpg is what i'd call a concept, it get's…
So far as I can tell MS has just as good of, or better business practices than it's competitors. Of late I would actually say it has the best. But, of course, whoever is on the top will always be condemned. As for the game selection, I'm attributing your uptightness to the huge generalizations and uninformed statements in…
