Re: Piracy...
@MiAlx You're not going to fix the problem by trying to find a way to force people to choose either to buy or not play. There isn't a lock out there that can't be defeated. It's also disrespectful to your paying customers to show them you assume they are going to violate you. You just have to accept the fact that people… -
Re: Critique for my mermaids
I have a feeling that you've pretty much done everything you've needed to in terms of completing your pieces on a technical aspect. Everything can be read and distinguished easily, and anatomy and shading isn't too distracting. At worst, the still water in the third piece exudes kind of a cheap airbrush effect, but if you… -
Re: Portfolio help
Ok, so before I say anything, this is not a professional crit, this is a students opinion, some things I say might be smart or kinda dumb. 1. I would either take the bench out, or give the texture a lot more love. You put some grunge on the Coke sign, but thats it. Put some dirt and grunge on the seat, on the bottom of the… -
Re: Pillars of Eternity: The White March Art Dump
@Araiel Thank you. Yeah, you're correct. So, we didn't have any real hard poly limits, but we did have to work within the limitations of our own machines. It wasn't until relatively recently that we had a distributed rendering system up and running, so render times were a concern. There were times where it became a… -
Re: Should I get a degree in Game Art?
I think the pros outweigh the cons as far as attending school. The right school will make hardware and software available to you that you'd be hard pressed to get your hands on (yeah, I now about "alternative" licensing, wink-wink, nudge nudge). I mean, you can't snag a mocap studio from a torrent. Also, the subjection to… -
Re: "Self taught" Soon to be past tense?
Being self taught is one of the key things that landed me my job. HR Filter: Certification > Shipped Titles > Networking and Talent. As for Microsoft requiring certs before they hire I can say with certainty that its not a hard and fast rule in the games dept. I know 3 people working there (read: blue badges, not temps)… -
Re: ugh. bad dream
Scariest dream I've ever had was a paralysis dream. In the dream I was napping on the couch in front of the tv (which coincidentally is where I was sleeping when I had the dream) when I woke up suddenly. I couldn't move my arms or legs, all I can do is move my eyes to look around. I try to call out to my girlfriend to come… -
Re: Personal Realization X Education + Options = HELP
[ QUOTE ] Pretty much everything Aesir has said is what I was going to say - decide what you want to do, make a plan, do it. This isn't always easy, I know all too well. [/ QUOTE ] Look at that point I will be going in circles.. This is what I have tried and failed to do the past few years and I was trying to point out. I… -
Re: Hi/Lo Baking - Silhouette Issues
Bitmap - exploded mesh? Will google it up (and a quick search turns up nothing for Blender), and I think I know what you're talking about, but I'm not sure it's possible in Blender. You're right though, all the same. MoP - Adding more polys I agree would likely minimize the issue, however, the model shown at the bottom of… -
Re: [Portfolio] Scott Homer - Environment Artist
@aajohnny - Yeah, if there is one thing ive learned over the last 3/4 years its perseverance, so ill keep at it. I definately think that the improved lighting/lower sharpening has improved it. @gibson543 - Hell yeah it did, I cant take credit for that though, was good crits. @RJBonner - ahaha, sex and lots of icecream, a…
