Have you worked on any dark fantasy-based assets lately? Maybe you`ve been drawing certain... runes, magical summon circles, spell insignias of the dark arts? If that`s the case, consider handwriting a few pages of the holy scripts on your tablet. If that doesn`t cancel it out, contact your local priest at once. Should the…
Good Morning all again. I am just writing to indicate that the game is mostly complete and that I ended up going with an artist from my local area through someone I knew instead. All the artwork in the game has been commissioned and paid for through a variety of means (some through 3dRT, some through Turbo Squid, some by…
Brain drain maybe? If you already got skills, why not hop the border and work for the richest nation on earth? Though relative to our population, I don't think we're lacking that much in studios. Montreal and Vancouver are always pumping out exciting AAA games, it's Toronto that seems to be a desert. Even more bizarre,…
But if you need inspiration(best look at dem pros to make it look believable) you can check out CG Textures which has a Signs/Graffiti section and there's tons of websites that make photographs to gather local tags and pieces, for example this one is from Amsterdam: http://www.bomdiggy.com /(beware, shitty nav, but if you…
I find that when i play games on my own nowadays i focus almost entirely on how it was made, but when i get together with friends for some local co-op thats when i can take a step back and really appreciate the game as a game and not work. Its good to take time and analyze things from a professional standpoint, but always…
Thanks Ben, I appreciate the feedback. I agree with you on the lighting; I was trying to show off the detail along the slide but probably went too far with it. Do you usually just stick with the light from the HDRI? AO map was checked but the viewport AO from Toolbag was not on because it doesn't show up on metallic areas…
See if the warranty will transfer from original purchaser to buyer. I noticed this happens with some videocard purchases, be careful. Warranty docs are found on the Wacom Website I am not sure of 22HD revision numbers. If the purchase backfires like how? Doesn't work? I would say try before you buy. And if it makes you…
unknown properties = the installer failing to copy the .FX files over. I need to contact the install script's original author because I'm having trouble creating new ones. At least it's not the shader itself :) thanks for the feedback guys. You can fix it by manually extracting to…
- Find out on Twitter or Facebook who's going or doing a demo or lecture. This way you can have a pre-list of possible people to meet and questions to ask once you get the chance to talk to them. If you're lucky you can even try and network online before you go there and try to get invited to tour local Bay area studios.…
Thanks duders. @Dii: its just a lot of AO/Cavity. one thing I did make sure to pay attention to was to do some localized color variation, so I tinted the arms a bit green, the body more red, and some blues all over. but naah it was done in PS When I was working on it I had no reference for the colors, so when the movie…
