Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
If the cut pays off, then I could care less. I just don't see how a standard of 50% CAN pay off for most deals. Of course, determining percentages should be handled on a case by case basis, but it's also good to just talk about this - it's raising awareness for artists about what the standards are and how they can best… -
Re: My friend says mods aren't good on a portfolio, looking for opinions!
I can see an argument to be made that a mod is very specific, and a lot of work will go into one aspect of your skills. So what ever your game art style may be, you might be making that style for some time. While on a portfolio you can rattle off this and that, and you leave your options open to be diverse. Also there may… -
Re: Optimization vs Artistic ability
Adam called it. Personally I couldn't make a choice on the two applicants unless I knew more specifics about what level position they'd be entering at, what their day-to-day tasks would be, the studio's infrastructure and it's upcoming projects. Generally the optimizer sounds more reliable for work that just involves… -
Re: Thompson M1A1 - Subdivision question
If you're rendering in V-Ray then why not just chamfer the edges you need to chamfer? add a couple of edges to the fillet rather than the default and you'll get a nice rounded edge. It causes some nasty geo IF YOU WERE GOING TO SUBDIVIDE, but you're not, so who gives a fuck? One of the big reasons for the sub-d push for… -

Re: My First PBR : Will need support :)
To clarify, IBL alone is typically not a good solution for lighting in games (though it can be in offline renderers which do full on ray-traced radiosity which means you get shadows from ibl). Most modern game engines do something like this: Base IBL for the sky/clouds Local IBL that is generated from the actual level… -

Sony pays up for making junk (PS2)

Been out a fair while, so my military ordnance knowledge might be showing it's age but anyhow just something to keep in mind. Is that these types of CQB weapons are typically employed for stealth and speed at… -
Glass material and time of day
Got a weird graphical issue here, I created a glass jug, and put it indoors, and all was well. But then if I set the outdoor time of day to after sunset, the jug goes dark and no lights or environment probes shoved in its face seem to bring it back again. The sun seems to be the only thing to give it any light. So even if…
