Nice environment, poor execution.* Add an AO pass (you said you did, but I can't tell). Most games coming out use AO as a post process so I wouldn't worry about if its feasible in games or not. * Your pixel density is inconsistent. For instance, the light post wood texture is much blurrier than that garbage bag directly…
You are over complicating the issue, and probably misunderstanding the bits of information you hear here and there. Sure, a design task can be helped by some 3d. Sure, many talented designers do that. To learn how to do it, they mostly figure out the 3d part on their own because the tools they need from a 3d package are…
This is the asset I need to bake the lightmap for (the building in the centre): This thing is 10 meters long, 6 meters wide and 5 meters tall. Every plank is a separate mesh and there are some details here and there, on the inside.... My issue is that, unless I set the lightmap resolution to a whopping 512px, I always get…
We’re on the hunt for a talented 3D Artist/Character Designer to work with us, creating new beloved characters across all our games and platforms. You’ll work with our 2D illustrator to help interpret sketches and ideas into low poly, highly emotive characters. You’ll report to the 3D Lead and Studio Art Lead. You’ll have…
Hey Polycounters. This thread will chart the progress of Black Lotus Empire, Moneyhorse Games' first project. Read below for info and opportunities. About Black Lotus Empire is a shooter that allows the player free movement around the screen as the camera is moved along a pre-determined path. Players assume the role of…
2D and 3D characters are what I'm interested in making. It's one of the few things I care about doing in life. But I simply cant figure out an "approach" that I can have faith in. Thought it was finally time to consult the community, after about 150 hours of effort (Yup... I record every hour devoted to character art) So,…
Kabam is growing and were growing quickly. With offices in the Bay Area and internationally, we are growing at an exponential rate and this is just the beginning. Were building games that are changing how social games are played and the success of our games has established us as a definitive leader in the strategic…
Since you don't have a aftermarket cooler in your shoping cart I assume you don't want to overclock. In this case you can go with a i7 4770 (saves ~$20) or a Xeon E3 1230v3 (if you can live without the iGPU, saves ~$70) as a CPU. You also don't need a Z87 board, go with H87 (saves ~90). The thermal compound is also not…
Right! I've done a days worth of shopping around and it seems despite that pre-built on Overclockers being a decent enough price, I can get it as seperates for quite a bit less. I've got a couple people who have built systems before I can get help from so I'm gonna go for the self-build option! Just before I hit the buy…
I think you might be putting the cart before the horse. First you need to establish how the character gets from point A to B. What's his mode of transportation? Does it run and jump? Is it a flying character? Does the character have any special abilities like the wall climbing in Prince of Persia? Once you know what your…
