Thanks thaurdol. I mainly get upset at myself if i sound like i am defending my piece, just FYI. I will say however that i instantly thought of the pose and then the environment I had one thought and when i already created the environment the dragon didn't fit with my idea, again my fault but the deadline as i saw it…
I'm about two thirds of the way through and overall I'm really enjoying it. I've not noticed any technical problems myself. I actually think I've enjoyed the private detective's sections of the game most of all because they're generally paced more slowly and have time to let the characters develop a little more fully.…
No. Nonono. Alphamapping the bottom is a very bad idea. It requires an extra channel in the texture, more complex shader, and it won't for a nicely closed object(causing you to either see backfaces, or see through the entire object). Besides, the amount of polies saved would be negligible. You use 8 (4 quads) while he…
Actually, I think there is an item you are neglecting. You almost have it, but the choice is not between passion and material goods. It is between Passion and "Security". When one is on the ground level and they are harnessing their passion, they are responsible only for their tasks, and pursuit of their goals within the…
Yeah I agree, I didn't want to comment on the actual game since I already got warned about the NDA but what you've said is spot on in my opinion. It's incredibly repetitive and for this reason, I think it's unfortunately destined to fail. From a consumers point of view, I think the biggest factor that should be included…
OK, before you go and start on all that, what's the actual wording of the test with regards to the textures? Is it 6 1024's to use how you want? Is it 6 1024's and you must have specs and normals? Or is it the equivalent of 6 1024's and no single texture is larger than 1024? This could make all the difference as to how…
Easy one here, that's why I was able to write so much. The site has a frame at the bottom with a banner ad. Not sure what's up with that, but it's unprofessional and affects your site. Three click waiting/searching period before art (site > portfolio > level design > thumbnail. The more you bury your content the less…
Subdivision sketch: truncated cones. These examples show how segment matching can be used to join truncated cones to curved surfaces. When the support loop around an intersecting shape disrupts the segment spacing of an existing shape, it tends to cause unintended deformation that can generate visible smoothing artifacts.…
This is a well written article as well. http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/09/10/14579 A True Hero Gets an Apology Timothy Kincaid September 10th, 2009 Turing There are not many people who have changed the course of political history or impacted the day to day lives of nearly every person on the planet.

Hey hey guys. Our teacher (known as Dabu/Daniel at this forum) gave us this model to unwrap and texture. Shouldn't really touch the geometry, but we're allowed to add some small props and/or do minor changes to the model. So I'm basically doing a half-half thing with this dunny. Texture size is a whopping 1024x1024. So I…
