Re: Normal issues exporting from maya and importing to UDK
Don't make your normal maps work harder than they need to. Each side of that four sided object should be UV mapped as it's own UV shell and the boundaries of that shell should have hard edges. Seeing a lot of gradient and color variation over a surface that should render as flat is called "stressing" your normal map.… -
Re: productivity time sink & barricades
[ QUOTE ] i find working on 5 or 6 things at once is a great time saver, ... [/ QUOTE ] Me too, I actually sit in at a table surrounded by 5 computers. I run a 1 limb per workstation workflow, it works pretty well hahaha. Nah, I agree with that totally. I always like to have 2-3 things going on at once. I'm not sure how… -
Re: New Mass Effect Video
[ QUOTE ] I think its cool to put in use the latest technology, but if it causes flickering right over characters faces maybe its worth thinking twice? As a personal preferance, I'd rather see lower tech rendering that doesnt cause distracting artifacts. [/ QUOTE ] Well yeah, totally. I didn't mean for a minute that… -
Re: Attitudes of Gamers
ah at that age any word you can't say in-front of your parents is considered cool. i've always found it amusing hearing some squeaky pre-pubesent sitting there screaming abuse at you. it's often incoherant or they rely on the same words. personally I don't care much cause I'm often playing just for the fun of it. sod… -
Re: Breaking Into The Industry Advice.
Getting in is the exact same as its always been. If your portfolio looks like it is done by a veteran, then your golden.

There are junior positions, but even those are filled by people with stellar… -

Re: Monitor Dead-Help ASAP
Well after wasting this weekend in research and stress, I ended up with the Viewsonic VX2025WM. For the money it was a great value. The biggest complaint I have though is thats its widescreen so there goes a inch or so from my new tablet. That and I would have rather they not put speakers on and instead improve the… -
Re: Job Dilema
seems to me your old place is paying a lead as much as you could get at another place as a senior without the added responsibility? then it's time to move on, i guess. do not commute 5-6 hours daily, that will bring a lot of problems. instead, rent a place close to work for the time being and do the long weekend kind of… -
Re: EA employee's spouse comments on crunch
Well, as an interesting hypothetical to think about; I've noticed that some people in the industry are a bit prone to depression and emotional disorders. (as are some people on this board) What happens when a few of their own employees start whacking themselves, or one gets really pissed off and takes a gun to work? Or… -
Re: When is the right moment to cancel a project.
Honestly, most projects look like shit in the first few weeks (mine at least). The stuff you see on Artstation is mostly after lots of iteration, polish and retexturing. And that's fine, we all go through that. Take it step by step. For an environment as an example: Block it in, adjust until you are satisfied. Then start…
